seventh hit; action

[moezuo]

[ shizuo was out and about in his usual way. getting groceries, cleaning supplies, doing some laundry - when he noticed something. a dog seems to have taken a liking to him. a wingless, scruffy, half-starved looking animal that... he actually recognizes from home. vaguely

[Okay, Richard can't help but watch this sight with amusement for a few minutes when he spots Shizuo because it really does look like some demented form of a children's game, though he can't quite decide between Red Light, Green Light or Simon Says.]

It looks like you've made yourself a new friend.

[moezuo]

[ oh it's - richy? robert? richard. that's it. ]

It won't stop following me.

[ledbythewind]

From appearances, I'd say that's probably because it's hungry. It's too skinny to be getting fed on a regular basis.

[And he leans down and holds out a hand in an attempt to coax the dog over to him.]

[moezuo]

[ it sits down and cocks it's head. ]

I already gave it food.

[ledbythewind]

Meaning it most likely expects you to give it food again.

[Congratulations, Shizuo, you are now a canine slave.]

[moezuo]

It should go to someone else then.

[ledbythewind]

Have you ever had a pet, Sir Shizuo?

[moezuo]

No.

[ledbythewind]

Well, it looks like you do now.

[Moving a little closer so he can scratch the dog behind the ears. There's a good boy.]

[moezuo]

[ it thumps it's tail and gives a joyful, huffing bark. shizuo just sighs and rubs the back of his neck. ]

Maybe Zack'll take it.

[ledbythewind]

[This of course just means that Richard is going to pet it more, chuckling. It may be kind of ugly and nothing more than skin and bones, but at least it's friendly.]

I take that to mean you aren't much of a fan of dogs.

[moezuo]

Pets aren't my thing.

[ as much as he'd like to, he probably shouldn't. animals have a habit of pissing their owners off. ]

[ledbythewind]

[After what Izaya said, he's got a suspicion as to why, though he's going to keep his mouth shut.]

If that's the case, there are enough people here that I'm sure it won't be hard to find someone else who would like to take it home.

[moezuo]

[ he eyes the ugly ball of bones and fur doubtfully. ]

I'll ask around. [ but if it's this attached he'd rather give it to someone he trusts. ]

[ledbythewind]

Although it does seem to be rather fond of you already.

[moezuo]

Dunno why.
