Luppi, still a little upset that he wouldn't get the chance to tamper with anything, headed to the Hangar for a curious look anyway. He had no intention of touching anything and simply intended to content himself with just looking at the planes. Well, it wasn't like he'd be able to tell which was which or what belonged to who or which ship anyway. He didn't pay much attention to the whole thing.

Still, he was grumpy and sulky looking as he made his way in, unhappy that he'd been roped in to the boring Guard Duty rubbish that he really had no interest in anyway. As if Cabin Boy duties weren't droll enough. What was he supposed to do if anybody came about and tried to get past him? Sleeve-flail them to death? Sure, so he had a little sword tucked under one arm, but the pink sheathe combined with the short length didn't exactly strike fear into the hearts of the wicked.

He peeked in, his small frame casting only a tiny shadow on the rectangular beam of light shining onto floor of the doorway.

The Dog, catching sight of Luppi in the doorway, came bounding towards him, her paws pattering haphazardly on the hangar floor. Someone who didn't look like they had anything pressing to get on with could well be someone she could pass the time with, and Luppi certainly didn't look like someone with an urgent purpose in mind.

Recognizing her fellow cabin boy as she drew closer, she pulled up in front of him, looking up at him with an expression of mixed appraisal and greeting. "Coming to help guard these things?"

Luppi nodded, grinning down at the Dog with the sort of happy glee that only manifests when he has stuff to do that he's cleverly avoiding.

"Well, I was coming to have a look at them, but I think I can help~." He said, waving a hand dismissively and allowing the sleeve to flap when he did.

The Dog grinned back, jumping up at Luppi - a perhaps overenthusiastic gesture of friendliness, but if Luppi didn't like paws all up him, he could always push her off, and if he was going to help, an expression of gratitude seemed in order.

"Good, good, I like help. And if you were coming to look at them, you like planes?"

Luppi gave her a pet, not minding the enthusiastic jumping. He liked dogs, after all. Not cats so much, he did have a bit of an aversion to them, but dogs he could tolerate, even like, depending on the individual.

"Yeah, they're quite nice~!" He said, peering in and looking at them all. "Don't know much about them, though."

He sort of failed like that.

The Dog wagged her tail at the petting, and dropped back onto all fours, looking around at the planes along with Luppi. "Yes, they're a bit of a closed book to me as well - never interested me overmuch, since I can't exactly fly one," she said, looking at her paws. (You didn't need a plane to fly, either, which was a stronger reason not to care about them: flying on your own was much nicer)

[ivy_girl]

Luppi brought one hand up to cover his mouth, a bit of an impish smile now concealed by his over-long sleeve.

"I can't fly one either." Okay, so he had the capacity to, but he'd never learned. "You don't need to fly one though, I bet you could outrun anybody with those four legs."

Grinning, the Dog wagged her tail a little harder at Luppi's flattering comment.

"Happy to see you have such faith in me~ They have always served me rather well."

Luppi smiled, rather liking the Dog. He'd never had a pet, or been particularly interested in animals in his childhood, but there was something very nice about a dog that you could hold a conversation with.

"I bet!" He chirped, clasping both sleeved hands together behind his back. "Are you looking forward to the races?"
