*Enter a dog. Four paws, german-shepardish, collar. He looks around a bit, then coughs*

Excuse me? Anyone seen a girl? She's got mis-matched eyes, and usually butterflies. Or mice. Or something.

*He sounds a mite aggravated*

[dels_dog]

I was where you left me. Which was not here. I've been trying to find you. You ran off as in away from me to somewhere else.

Yes, Del. You found me.

The bartender is a dog? Heh. That's nice to know. He's one of yours?

Sometimes a dog?

*he gives her a confused but accepting look. She's hard to understand sometimes*

Okay. So he used to be a visitor. Lots of people visit you sometimes then go away, don't they?

[silver_flecks]

[dels_dog]

Yeah. But I stay around, when I can find you.

*he licks at her hands and face again, trying to cheer her up*

Hey, do you want a drink, Del? Why don't you get a drink? You do lots of good things too, you know.

[silver_flecks]

Ice cream would be good. We could share.

*he licks his chops hopefully*

I won't leave you, Del. Watching you is pretty much what I do.

[silver_flecks]

[dels_dog]

Green mouse and telephone.

*he says, and licks her face again*

I'd miss you too. Nobody else feeds me.

*because he's still a dog, and the steak Death got him was a whole fifteen minutes ago*

[silver_flecks]

KaY. *orders it from the bar and gets two spoons* HeRe wE Go!

*giggles* I rEmeMbEr tO fEeD yOu a LoT, tOo!

[dels_dog]

Yes you do.

*he looks at the spoon, then sits down and waits for her to finish as much of the ice cream as she wants. No thumbs, remember?*
