There was a tree by the lake, well there were a fair few trees actually but one of these trees was not quite like the rest at that point. There was a husky pup happily chewing on something as she lay by the trunk. Though she wasn't alone, of course not she was being watched by her owner or rather her pet from one of the branches where he was sat.

Dogs now no longer scare 'Teazer, because she's bigger than them.

'Hello, Jack,' human!Teazer says cheerfully. 'You look sad.'

Jack looked down from the tree. "Er..." Add confused to cranky. "Who the hell are you?" And he was polite too.

[cockneycat]

She smiles. 'Last time you met me, I was up that tree.'

[twoyearsmissing]

"Cat." It was more a statement than anything else. "Huh."

Amanda was taking a walk when she noticed the perfectly adorable puppy and stopped to say hello to it. As she stooped down to scratch its ears, she spotted Jack.

"Have you treed a handsome man?" she asked the puppy. "There's a useful trick for a dog to know! Maybe I should take you with me, darling."

[twoyearsmissing]

Jack raised an eyebrow, on any other day he'd be quite happy to flirt and be charming today. No.

Key on the other hand wasn't in the same mood as her pet she was following, she was more like the other one would be normally. Cheery and happy to see anyone. She wagged her tail and looked up.

"I wouldn't, Coyolxauhqui is most definitly... well she owns me and JD." It was more than probably true. She was spoilt.

"Big name for a small dog," said Amanda, ruffling the fluffy fur of the puppy's belly. "I wouldn't have thought to give a Siberian husky an Aztec--am I correct?--name. Speaking of names, by the by, I'm Amanda."

[twoyearsmissing]

Jack nodded. "Moon Goddess, we just call her Key." Since JD couldn't pronounce her full name properly. "Jack, Captain Jack Harkness." He gave a little mock salute.

Jack was ambling down to the lake to play with his toy ships, when he noticed the puppy gamboling about under a tree. "Why, good afternoon to you, sir," he said cheerfully to the puppy, scratching it behind the ears (unaware that it was actually a female). Then he looked up and saw a fellow sitting in the tree, apparently keeping an eye on the puppy. He recognized the chap after a moment. "I say, you're Captain Harkness, ain't you?" he said. "I am Captain Aubrey - we were going to have a meeting of the Captain Jack club, before Captain Sparrow went missing. How goes it with you, sir? Is this your dog? A most handsome creature."

[twoyearsmissing]

Jack now lounging in the tree gave another slightly more serious but none the less mock salute. "Yeah she is. Coyolxauhqui, er Key say hello." Key looked up. "And yeah that's me. Just having a Bad day." As if that explained it all, which oddly it did.

[slothbefouler]

"Coyol... ah. A fine name, to be sure." Jack nodded agreeably. "I am sorry you seem so hipped, sir - may I inquire as to the nature of your disturbance? Perhaps I could be of some assistance." Jack was certainly willing to help out a fellow Captain Jack.

(("Hipped" is 19th-century slang for "depressed."))

"Ah, not really, it's complicated." To say the least. "Thanks though. So what brings you out here anyway?" Changing the subject to get it away from what he was bothered about.
