Date: June 5, 2011 Characters: Ava Byrne, Tobias Whitehall Location: Park Status: Public Summary: Ava takes Wilbur out to see people. Completion: Complete
Tobias was enjoying the heat after a long day in his over chilled office. Beatrix, who had lost several pounds lately just like her master, was walking gamely next to him. He stopped them under a bit a shade to pour water into a shallow dish he carried with him for her drink out of. She lapped at it happily as he leaned against the shading tree.
When Wilbur wandered over toward a tree, Ava tugged on his leash a little. "That one's already occupied," she murmured, bemused by him, but as they got closer she noticed he wasn't stopping for the usual reason.
Urging him away from the other dog's water dish, she looked up at the man apologetically. "Obviously he hasn't worked out the difference between personal water and communal water." She winced. "Sorry about that."
Tobias smiled at her. She looked like she could be one of his students and that always put him at ease.
"Not at all. Beatrix is happy to share." He leaned down and poured in more water while Bea examined this newcomer. "She's not fond of playing with other dogs, but she likes to give them a good sniff and a lick if possible."
"That's a good idea," Ava offered, returning his smile. He had a kind one. "I should bring some water for him when I have time to take him for longer walks."
Her lips twitched up as Wilbur examined Beatrix in turn, enthusiastic as usual. "I think she'll find it's more than possible with Wilbur, he'll let anything lick him." She paused, grimaced slightly. "I mean he's just...very sociable."
