[ curtis plops at the end of his bed to actually acknowledge the feed for the first time in almost a month now.  he's a little breathless and-- sweaty.  late-night running was never really his thing, but he'd been having some trouble sleeping as of late.  he slips off his windbreaker and sips his bottle of water before deciding to speak. ]

... I found this dog.  I don't know if anyone's missing 'im. [ and he'll place his bottle on the end table beside him before reaching out and gently pulling a golden retriever into view. ]  

Give me a call if he's yours, yeah?  

[ filtered to alisha & simon: ]

You think it's all right if we keep him until we figure out what to do with him?  

[ he's expecting to get yelled at.  or hit.  but he kind of really likes the puppy dog :( ]

Er. Sit?

[ ... and the dog sits! alisha beams. ] Fucking briliant, yeah? [ she pats the dog on the head. ]

[mrbackwards]

[ ]

Yeah. [ girl you so funny. he pats her back, watching eli. ]

Should be heading back soon, yeah?

[awkwards]

No one's claimed him as their own?

[ she's still beaming down at eli. he's such a good dog! ]

[mrbackwards]

No. No tags, neither.

[ okay, alisha, curtis gets it. you love the dog. look at him now. :| ]

Ready?

[awkwards]

[ ONE LAST SCRATCH OKAY. she gives curtis a hard look, one of her i'm-the-boss-do-as-i-say looks. or best known as her usual face. ]

If he shits in my flat, you're cleaning it up, yeah?

[mrbackwards]

[ oh sweet jesus woman. have a rollllll of the eyes. ]

Can we just go back now?

[awkwards]

[ CURTIS LACKS-RAINBOWS DONOVAN. ]

It's your dog, yeah? [ she pats her leg and starts walking, so eli knows to follow. he's so cute. ] We don't even have dog food. What is he going to eat?

[mrbackwards]

[ OMG MOM DONT USE MY MIDDLE NAME. ]

Can be ours. [ he walks with her. them. ] I can pick something up tomorrow. Not a big deal.

[awkwards]

We need a bed for him, too. And those dog bowls to put his biscuits and the dog food from those cans in. And toys, yeah? I don't want him chewing on our stuff.

[mrbackwards]

All right, all right. You can come with me, then. He'll just sleep on the couch tonight.

[ or in bed with curtis. but sh. ]

[awkwards]

Er - beside the couch, yeah? [ she gives him a pointed look. ]
