[Well, someone's looking cheerful today! Even Achoo is giving the PCD the canine equivalent of a smileThink everyone'll agree things be much better this week than last week's fribbery. Seems we all learned our lessons right enough. Still, seems a shame this place ain't got Dogs of a sort. We're all neighborly-like, but there's bound to be stuff

What sort of prior experience do you have?

[lowercitydog]

Like I said, I ain't got my bronze badge yet, so I ain't been a Dog more than three years, but My Lord Provost took my siblings and I and our mum in when I was eight. Learned a lot livin' with him and such.

Plus I grew up in the Lower City 'o Corus, and y'gonna get a quick education in all kindsa laws 'n the breaking of 'em there.

You'll excuse me, Mademoiselle, but your terms make no sense to me. What does your job entail?

[She takes a deep breath and thinks a moment. When she speaks, it's slowly, and it's obvious she's taking care with her words]

Where I am from, the city of Corus, the law enforcement is handled by the Lord Provost's Guards. We're called 'Dogs' by most f- people. I've been a member of the Guards for about three years.

Before that, I lived with the Lord Provost, since he took my family in when I was eight. So even growing up, I learned things from him.

And before that and again now I lived in the Lower City, which is pretty much considered the worst part of the city. So I've seen a lot of stuff.

[Confused, but still smiling]

You mean Achoo? She's a sweetheart when she's not on a scent.

But she's a dog! [A small frowny-faced troll with cat ear-like horns and a kitty hood on her head shows up on the device, not looking convinced at these protestations of Achoo's sweetness at all.]

[lowercitydog]

Well yea, she is, but she's nice. And she's friendly t'cats and such. And she ain't gonna attack nothin' without need.

My sort of work doesn't tend to get on well with the police at home. My team is more used to the ...stranger side of things. But it's a good idea. If it actually happens, maybe we could work something out.

[lowercitydog]

Y'from one of those places that ain't got mages 'n stuff I take it?

[jackedthename]

We've got magic, if that's what you mean; but it generally tends to be stuff from another world and not magic at all.

Anyway, I'm from Cardiff, in a place called Wales. Hallo.

[lowercitydog]

Well, any sorta law stuff here's gonna have'ta deal with stuff.

Corus in the Realm of Tortall m'self. Nice t'meet'cha

[Juliet has had to listen to this several times over, and very carefully, before she has understood it enough to reply. She has also looked over the conversation the lady has had with Lord Duroc (the part she knows of), which has helped her to understand.]

You propose a way to enforce a rule of law, Lady? That - that is a most wondrous idea! It is something I have wished for, since I was attacked unawares. You must be a very clever lady to be able to offer such skills here.

[The smile she wears when she speaks is genuine. Had she not told Sokka and Katara, and Lord Saxon, this very thing was needed?]

[bunny_flower]

... How can dogs exactly help with those problems?
