007 ✝ seventh step [action]

[manmade_angel]

[Nill's finding it a little hard to adapt to being a puppy. There isn't much she can do in the way of chores or cooking. At least the laundry isn't piling up while this latest experiment is going on, considering Badou, Mister Mihai, Miss Naoto, and Haine have all turned into dogs. It was a little funny to see, all of them standing around,

[Lacking opposable thumbs in a house full of high cabinets and canned goods didn't bode well for keeping the puppies fed. Mihai himself had discovered this when he tried searching through the kitchen for lunch. Opting not to abide by the cliche "dog eat dog," he'll head out into the village proper in hopes of finding something accessible to eat.

It takes him a moment, but he'll recognize Nill when he comes upon her some time later, a large package of deli-meat hanging from his mouth. Since he didn't lose his manners along with the ability to open doors and jars, he'll head over to see if the girl's hungry as well.]

[Nill catches Mihai's scent before she sees him, but once she notices he's heading her way, she charges towards him. She's had so much energy this week, it's amazing! After racing up to Mihai, Nill circles him once then nuzzles him at his elbow in greeting.]

[Ooh... whatever he has, it smells good!]

[whichwayagain]

[...So much energy. On the other, uh, paw, Mihai's had just as hard of a time keeping up with the others this week, if not moreso. The price for being a big dog, probably.

Still, he's happy to see Nill. He'll drop the package at her feet, then push it towards her with his nose. Want some?]

[manmade_angel]

[For her? But isn't Mr. Mihai hungry? He's seemed a little slow recently, and Nill wondered if it was because they all weren't eating normally or if Mr. Mihai wasn't sleeping enough. Nill liked to sleep in sunny patches recently--and it was just so easy to nap on the carpet.]

[She tilts her head and whimpers a little at Mihai, then tentatively tears open a corner of the package. She'll just take a little bit... Mr. Mihai went to the trouble of fetching it, after all.]

[whichwayagain]

[The only reason why Mihai seems slow is because Nill is a puppy and thus made of pure hyperactive energy. Or so the thought process goes. Either way, puppies get hungrier faster anyway, so Mihai's more than happy to share. And it's not like he can't get more.

...Provided he can find the way back to the store. Still, in theory it works. So he'll nudge the package again, suggesting Nill should take more than that.]

[manmade_angel]

[But...! But...! But Mihai was higher up in the pack, he should have the first crack at most of the food.]

[...if they were actually dogs. Nill shakes herself and headbutts Mr. Mihai gently in the chest, as a sort of hug, then carefully eats a little more. She really was hungry from all that running around.]
