Nine Transformations

[badhairlifetime]

[Action]

If you should happen to wander around the City, just where you can see the forests' edge, you might see a big, friendly dog there. Its coat a beautiful shade of yellow, it might be walking around, perhaps in circles, like it's pacing. If you catch its eyes, however, it will give you a friendly look, cock its head to one side, and yap.

[ He has been wandering around the City, actually! ...though he is confused why this dog is barking at him. ]

What do you want?

[badhairlifetime]

She gives the equivalent of a wolf-sigh. She can quite literally smell the attitude and ego coming off of him, along with something else that's sort of curious, but he's one of the only people to come to her end of the City today. She's been relying on the small supply of meat that she kept in her room for these occasions, but she hadn't gotten around to replacing it from last month, for some reason. So she had resigned herself to depending on the kindness of strangers giving treats when they see a cute doggie with a wagging tail. It had worked before, at any rate.

She looks up at him with big, sad eyes, before yapping once more, and bounding a few feet away to go chase her tail for a minute, and then returning to sit in front of him, panting happily. She looks the perfect picture of a loyal dog. She cocks her head to one side and whines. This is, perhaps, not what she'd always heard women talk about when they said to use their natural wiles, but it worked.

[ Well, he's kind of had people as pets before, so maybe it's sort of the same thing...though he doesn't know what she wants from him. Not that he has pockets. Or food. ]

I don't have anything for you.

Please pretend the rest of her icons are wolves.

[badhairlifetime]

Her ears go down, almost flat. Drat, all that for nothing. He seems serious, too. Her ears lift up as she stands back up to walk, semi-towards the rest of the City, as she plunks down, facing it. She looks at it, and then back at this new guy.

can do!

[heliolatrous]

[ He sighs. ]

What, you can't go there?

Thank you~

[badhairlifetime]

She stands again, walking around the area, appearing to be looking for something, she gives a little muffled woof, as she comes back with a bone in her mouth.

[heliolatrous]

[ He watches her as she does this, almost curiously, as if wondering if she's going to eat it or something. Would she actually...? ]

[badhairlifetime]

She places it down at his feet, and nudges it with her nose, towards him. There's something different about him, and it may as well do to make a cleverly disguised hint at hunger look like a present.

Besides, she'd already eaten as much off of the bone as she could.

[heliolatrous]

[ He doesn't realize the hint, unfortunately... ]

I don't want it.

[badhairlifetime]

Sit. Headtilt. Whine?

[heliolatrous]

You can keep it.

[badhairlifetime]

A version of a doggie grumble, as she takes the bone away, putting it back by the tree where she got it in the first place. Then she returns to the spot, playfully wagging her tail, on all fours, looking like she's ready to play.

[heliolatrous]

...what do you want now?

[ Man, he is so good with animals. ]

[badhairlifetime]

Well he was certainly a tough one. Her tongue still lolling out of her mouth, she rolls on her back, all fours in the air. "Ruff!"

[heliolatrous]

Are you trying to play?

[badhairlifetime]

At this point, trying to really get across the image of a stray dog almost wasn't worth it. And then she remembered back home. Home home.

She gives a doggy, upside-down nod, and another short bark.
