[There's a crash and a giant paw obscures the view for a moment before it's replaced by a black nose attached to puppy. With devilish doggie delight the device disappears into the puppy's maw as the puppy runs away.]

No! Don't - that's not a... toy thing!

[It's hard to tell from the inside of a dog's mouth, but it sounds like there's running involved.]

Not into the shop - the shoes... Someone catch that dog!

[Suddenly you can see again as the puppy barks, dropping the device and running off, Cinna's neat and immaculately cared for shoes run after it.]



[ooc: Open to anything and everything, even action of you feel like helping Cinna corral his new puppy in the shop. BRING IT.]

Comments

:D I knooow! I missed her. Maybe I should re-app her.

[districteleven_brownbird]

[She smiles and laughs, nodding.]

Of course, Cinna.

[And off she goes, fast as a little bird, going to get your dog!]

Cinna would dote all over her

[threadthefire]

[He's... just going to let her. Al the energy of youth. He spends far too much time sitting and drawing or making adjustments to chase after a puppy like this.]

Try and keep him away from the shoes, please. He's developing a taste for them.

I think I could do it. I'd need to get into her mind again, but I could do it...:D

[districteleven_brownbird]

[She smiles, nodding.]

Do all dogs just go after shoes?

[threadthefire]

[Following behind, he chuckles.] It's the leather, I think, it's good for his teeth and bad for my business.

[districteleven_brownbird]

He's young, he could be teething, and the leather is easy to chew on...or maybe he knows it irritates you.

[threadthefire]

All are likely choices. [He's still following, waving off the staff that wanted to help. He and rue could manage just fine.]

[districteleven_brownbird]

[This isn't working...but Rue has an idea.]

I have an idea...let me try something different.

[She moves to hide, positioning herself to jump and grab the puppy when he runs by.]

[threadthefire]

[Seeing what she's doing, he happily helps by by chasing the puppy right towards to her.]

[districteleven_brownbird]

[And when he gets close, she jumps, grabbing him without hurting him.]

Gotcha!!

[threadthefire]

Splendid!

[Cinna and a few of the staff clapped for Rue as Cinna put a hand on her shoulder to lead her upstairs. He also motioned to the staff to put an order for cookies and cakes to be sent up to his office.]

Come on, let's take him back upstairs.

[districteleven_brownbird]

Good idea.

[She smiles and nods, standing up, carrying the puppy upstairs with her.]

[threadthefire]

[Once inside, he closes the door and heads to his desk, pulling out a knotted rope-toy.]

He likes these, you might try giving it to him to play with.

[districteleven_brownbird]

[Rue nods, smiling and taking the toy, teasing the dog with it.]

Good idea!

So, how have you been, Cinna?

[threadthefire]

I've been doing just fine. It's been a little boring around here without all of you here.

[He's not going to burden Rue with the last few months of this place.]

[districteleven_brownbird]

...They all went home then too. I'm sorry, Cinna...

[They didn't mean to leave him alone here.]

[threadthefire]

Yes they did, but some of them are back today, I'm certain. None of you could help it.

[districteleven_brownbird]

I know, but you got left alone here...

[threadthefire]

These things happen Rue-bird.

[There's a knock at the door and Cinna goes to get the tray of goodies.]

Here, why don't we have a snack and then perhaps we'll take him for a walk.

[districteleven_brownbird]

I'd like that, Cinna. Thank you.

[threadthefire]

Help yourself.

[He sets the the tray down and starts pouring some tea for them both.]

Is there anything you'd like to do while you're here?

[districteleven_brownbird]

[She smiles, taking a cookie.]

Anything, really, would be nice.

[threadthefire]

We could go to the Gardens, I'm sure the puppy would like a nice big area to run around in for awhile.

[districteleven_brownbird]

The gardens sound great! I think he'd like that, given how much energy he has...
