Does anyone have any hair dye? [ a certain someone's roots are showing like crazy. ] I think I could use a haircut too. [ somewhere off screen and further back, JD the dog gives a wheezy bark. Shizuo turns away for a second. ] You probably could too, huh?

Anyway. The name's Heiwajima Shizuo. If you've got any let me know.

[ Firo's pleased to have finally located a bar in Luceti. He takes a seat at one of the tables and just soaks in the atmosphere. It's only a few minutes later that he notices that he has company. ]

What's a dog doin' here..?

[ Glancing around the room, he tries to see if maybe the dog slipped off his leash. ]

[Action]

[moezuo]

[ You're lucky this time. Shizuo's caught on to what his dog's been doing. Right about when the sad little mutt puts his paws on the side of the seat and starts wagging his tail. ]

Cut that out.

[ While he's not much of an animal person, Firo can't help but smile at the little dog. He regrets not ordering anything yet and he holds his empty hands out to the dog to show he has nothing to share.

When he hears Shizuo speak, he looks up, smiling. ]

Is he yours?

[Action]

[moezuo]

Sort of. [ sigh. come here you dumb dog. ]

[Action]

[immamartillo]

[ Firo gets up from his seat to keep petting the dog. ]

Just 'sort of?' Does he live here?

[ He looks from Shizuo to the dog. ]

If he hangs here all the time I'm surprised he's not fatter.

[Action]

[moezuo]

Yeah. He's the bar's dog. [ who happens to only listen to me. for some unfathomable reason. ]

We don't really sell food, but he's a lot bigger than he was.

[Action]

[immamartillo]

What's his name?

[ Realizing that he hasn't been polite enough to initiate an introduction yet, Firo stops paying all the attention to the dog and looks back at Shizuo. ]

Actually, what's yours? I don't think we've met.

[Action]

[moezuo]

Just Dog. [ yeah. shizuo's creative. ]

Heiwajima Shizuo.

[Action]

[immamartillo]

Nice to meet you.

[ The dog's name makes him chuckle softly, even though he's well aware he couldn't think up a better name. ]

That's a good name for a dog.

[moezuo]

[ a nod.

JD paws at the man's shoe. food.

Shizuo just... sort of sighs and gives the animal a mildly exasperated expression. ]

[Action]

[immamartillo]

[ Firo's attention is diverted once again to the dog and he reaches down to give JD a few pats on the head. ]

Is he hungry?

[Action]

[moezuo]

He already ate. He picked up begging from someone and wants the food people come in with.

[Action]

[immamartillo]

[ Firo looks at JD in amusement. He supposes there is some sense in trying to scrounge for food while you can, but this seems excessive. ]

Is that normal for a dog? Don't they normally do tricks, you know, "sing for their supper?"

[Action]

[moezuo]

I think strays just beg.

[ the animal plunks down on shizuo's foot and looks at firo. ]

[Action]

[immamartillo]

Have you tried teachin' him some tricks?

[ Firo holds his empty hands out to the dog. ]

I've got nothin' for you, pal.

[Action]

[moezuo]

He half knows how to fetch.
