(no subject)
Always careful, always conscious of his surroundings, Mathias has been carefully avoiding the mistletoe in the door of the rec room since the snow arrived. He realizes that he's taking a light hearted island trick a little too seriously, but there's something about being physically unable to move that makes his heart pound and his hands start to sweat. It's only mistletoe, which is what he mutters to himself every time he passes it, but he doesn't want to be stuck there.
It's his own fault, really. The dogs are well behaved, but they're still not his and he's still adjusting to owning them when he takes them both into the Compound that morning. It's not Hal who abruptly turns as they're walking down the wall, nails skittering on the floor, but King, the more energetic of the two. Tongue lolling out of his mouth, he races into the rec room and Mathias, without a second thought, chases after him.
"King, no!" he calls, but as he tries to make it through the door, he feels as though he's yanked backward and he stops, unable to go any further.
Frowning, he looks up, both dogs watching him now from either side of the door. Both dogs also tilt their heads up when he does and he's sure it all looks very funny, but it doesn't feel very funny.
Turning to Hal, the one he thinks he can control the best, he gives her a smile. "Come here, girl," he coaxes gently. Maybe, if he's lucky, a kiss from a dog will count.
[Very good time to meet him and help him out, even if it's only to help him get doggy kisses. XD]
