[ Lightning doesn't tell anyone the reason why she spends so much time outside despite her hatred of the native weather. Walking or jogging in the cold, training at the 'battledome' and barracks, visiting the stores when people tend to not be around... these things keep her busy, in the time she's not poring over the journals and library and ( Read more... )

[And out by the shops she will meet someone else looking slightly put-out, with a fat red puppy that doesn't want to walk more than five steps at a time before being picked up. He watches her for a moment, then-]

Statue?

[action] thestormishere December 28 2010, 01:53:07 UTC

[ Lightning really notices the other dog first, only then looking to Sigmund with her brows drawn at the one-word question. ]

What?

[ The moment her puppy sees the red one too, though? He begins squirming in her arms, eyes wide and thrashing side to side in his sudden desire to be put down. ]

[action] chaincutter December 28 2010, 02:03:09 UTC

[Dog is rather more cautious, hiding behind Sigmund's legs and only peaking his nose out, snuffling.]

The dog. Was it the statue?

[action] thestormishere December 28 2010, 02:17:55 UTC

Ah.

[ She doesn't struggle much longer with the pup, bending to put him down as carefully as she can with him wiggling all over the place. He ends up sort of falling on his face anyway though, even if it clearly doesn't faze him as gets to his feet and tries to approach the other puppy anyway. Lightning keeps a firm grip on the "leash," however, so he doesn't get far. ]

... Yeah. No idea what they were even thinking.

[Riku isn't familiar with Lightning, but that doesn't stop him from watching her struggle with the puppy with some vague amusement.]

Having trouble?

[action] thestormishere December 28 2010, 02:07:51 UTC

[ When Riku asks that question, Lightning's already starting to bend over to say something to the dog sitting directly in front of her. At that, however, both of them turn to look at him at the same time- the puppy looks curious, though... the woman is clearly sizing him up as she straightens. ]

... I guess you could say that.

[action] stilldontgotit December 28 2010, 03:50:46 UTC

I'm guessing this is your first pet.

[He crosses his arms and continues to watch them both, occasionally glancing down at the curious pup.]

[action] thestormishere December 28 2010, 04:09:54 UTC

[ Did he really have to say 'pet?' While Lightning is distracted though, the puppy takes the opportunity to begin idly chewing on the 'leash,' throwing his own glances at both humans with tiny dark eyes. ]

It's not like I asked for it.

......um....

...I-I have a dog.

[voice] thestormishere December 28 2010, 04:20:50 UTC

[ What, timidness? Lightning just sounds exasperated in turn, jumping straight to the problem. ]

The Malnosso gave me a puppy.

[voice] redroseprince December 28 2010, 04:31:31 UTC

[Very timid. But dogs are nice. :( And much nicer than her present.]

Oh...do you...um, not like dogs?

[voice] thestormishere December 28 2010, 04:54:55 UTC

[ .... A sigh. ]

Just not what I expected to be dealing with right now.

My fiancee has a dog actually. What exactly would you like to know? [ Even if he doesn't exactly take care of Minuet he still knows something about them. ]

[voice] thestormishere December 28 2010, 04:24:47 UTC

How to keep this puppy from peeing in my apartment would be a good start.

[voice] magnanimity December 28 2010, 04:35:31 UTC

[ That gets a good humored chuckle from him. ] A good scolding for when they actually do it inside and then perhaps giving a treat for when they go outside. It helps them differentiate between right and wrong with the added discipline.

[voice] thestormishere December 28 2010, 05:04:31 UTC

Hm. What are you supposed to use to treat a puppy?

[ Meat? Dog food? \o_O/ A silly question, and she'd probably have a better guess if he was older, but he's still a baby or something, right? ]

ima_greywarden December 28 2010, 05:56:56 UTC

I know a bit. But it's mostly only on mabari.

thestormishere December 28 2010, 06:03:33 UTC

... On what?

ima_greywarden December 28 2010, 06:19:36 UTC

Uh... mabari. They're a breed of war dog. Very popular in Ferelden. Anyway, what do you need to know?

thestormishere December 28 2010, 06:57:31 UTC

[ Nevah heard of it, though she figures he probably already must know that. ]

... I'm pretty sure this puppy I got from that stupid statue isn't a combat animal. [ A beat. ] Unless you count battles against things that fit in his mouth, I guess.

[ Definitely sounding more exasperated about that than joking here, though. ]
