009 ♛ Action

[ Arthur had a very eventful morning indeed. Caught in the bed clothes, barely to open the door to make a quick get away outside before his bladder exploded. Getting lost in the foliage and caught up in the moment...

It's not his fault. That squirrel was definitely asking for it!

But that's not all. Arthur found himself, well... starving. And so, using his canine wiles, he'll whimper, pressing up against whatever stranger he might run into out on the streets in the big wide City.

Won't you feed me? Please, please, please.

Whine, paw, paw, paw.

Wimper.

FED ME YOU SILLY NINNY -- cough, hairball. ]

((ooc: I was still planning to be on hiatus for the weekend, but I remembered I had plans! So hav a puppy Arthur. As anyone knows who tags me, I pretty much backtag forever. Replies will be coming from

[ ...Gross, pommy. Tyr the schipperke over here is just going to whine in disgust at you. ]

[ Hey, hey! Who said anything about whining -- Oh, that noise came from Arthur huh?

How undignified.

Sulking, Arthur drops down on all fours, crouching and then laying his head between his paws. Please don't hate him. It's not his fault he's a Pomeranian. ]

[ ...You are a sorry dog, fluffball. Tyr scoffs at first, but...maybe he should be nice to him. Tyr doesn't care how undignified it is- he barks at Arthur. Pick yourself up! ]

[ immediate tail wag. Not that he's happy at the attention or anything. Nope. But he's wagging his tiny, fluffy tail. ]

[ And that makes Tyr perk up, ears and all. He prances over to the other dog...and greets him with another bark. Now stand up!! ]

[Korra is sweaty and disgusting and has never been happier in her entire life. (Not that she can remember, at least, but she's not bothering to think too far back) She has Naga; she has her friends; she's free from the crushing weight of unrequited love. She and Naga have celebrated by running hard through the City, causing more than a little chaos, and now they're strolling home, breathing hard and smiling wide.

When Korra sees the little puppy, she can't resist leaning down and scratching his ear.]

Hey there little fella.

[Charlie at least was already out of the house when the curse hit. She had to close the shop and sweeping took longer than usual not to mention a supply run for the store so she had been halfway home before turning into a dalmation. Of all things.

She was kind of amused.

She was now watching the little dog beg, wagging her tail quite furiously. If she knew this was Arthur, she'd probably try to tease just a bit.]

[ he rolls over and --

he ruffles his ears, shaking his head and flipping over, yapping. He's up! Now where to! Huh?

Huh?

Huhuhuhuhuhuhuhuh?

:D

He hasn't had this much energy in months. ]

[ He thumps a back leg, happy and leaning and loving that scratching. He's been trying to hit that spot all day long.

Seriously.

Arthur's never had fleas so bad. It must've been that squirrel he was chasing earlier today. hnnnnngh ]

[Naga is perhaps a little jealous and possessive. She shoves her snout between Korra and the snack-sized canine. She then sniffs Arthur all over. Something about him smells funny...]

[ The human part of Tyr thinks that's really adorable and wonders if he won't run away from Estelle...

But the dog part of Tyr just barks again and is eager to run off into the streets with his new comrade. Come, fellow tiny spitz! ]

[ Awful lot of dogs out here today.

At first this had seemed like a nice thing, since less people meant less people to bother him while he was reading.

Of course, he hadn't even found a nice place to sit before he learned that wasn't the case. ]

You'd better be careful that no one steps on you.

[ sadly, Arthur's the first dog Kazu's seen so far, so he's fool enough to kneel and beckon. ]

You okay? C'mere, boy!

[ Arthur whined, tail between his legs. He learned about humans and their tendency to kick the hard way. He'll have bruises in the morning and, ugh. He has no intention of explaining that one to Merlin! ]

[ but that still doesn't stop him from nudging Leo's hand, begging for a hand-out. This little body of his burned so many more calories then he was used to. FEED ME LEO ]

[ A KIND SOUL!

Bounding over, tail wagging a mile a minute, he licks Kazu's face and -- ]

Ew! He just licked Kazu's face like he was a dog! Even if he was a dog. That was still unacceptable behavior for a prince!

[ and the human part of Arthur is turning away in disgust. A yapping dog. A yapping dog. What was he, Merlin?

But he can't resist the lure of a run and bonding over, he looks up to Tyr, eyes wide and shining and ready. Where too, huh? Please let it be towards food! ]

[ and may Charlie never, ever figure this one out. His pride can only handle so much! Although, in truth, it was rather freeing to be a dog. Intrigued by the warm kiss of the sun on his fur, the scent of a million interesting things wafting on the breeze.

It was almost like heaven, but for dogs.

And there's just something a tiny bit familiar about that dalmatian watching him from off to the side. Something that... that reminded him of home. Padding over, he sniffed and then sniffed again, circling. Now if only he could just put his paw on it. ]

[ fdjsa;l get your own human, you wench -- oh, it's a giant dog... thing. He backs down, crouching low to the ground. Maybe if he doesn't move, the giant dog won't eat him. ]

[Charlie just sits, watching the dog circle and circle and circle, still wagging her tail. Gosh, little dog. You sure are funny. She nudges him with her paw after a bit. The circling was making her a bit dizzy.]

[ But he has no food :( ]

I don't have anything for you.

[ Not even a stray button. ]

[ awwww, he's friendly—and slightly confused? but friendly! Kazu scritches behind his ears before ruffling to feel for a collar or something buried underneath the fur. ]

You run off or something? There's no way somebody just let you off-leash...

Naga, be nice.

[She leans down to pick the little puppy up.]

You hungry?

[Tyr wishes it was towards food; he wants to eat... Instead, it's just into the streets! He wants to just run around...Hopefully Arthur has the energy to keep up!]

[ hah! AS if the great Arthur has ever backed down from a fight! His stubbly legs shall marshal on to greatness! And with a yip, Arthur dashes forward, pouncing on a sidewalk crack.

... he's just a little bit easily distracted. ]

[ asdjfkl; hello heights! it's... it's actually a little scary up here. Oh god, the ground is so far away! He... he needs purchase. Pressing his tiny body close, he doesn't dare look down and, instead, licks Korra's face. That's a yes, okay. Don't make him repeat himself! ]

[ you're a failure to all dog kind >: ]

[ Arthur whines and stands up on his hind legs, begging. please, Leo. Don't let him down! it's bad enough he's reduced to begging. ]

[ H-hey! No poking the fur!

Wrinkling his nose, he sat on his haunches and scratched behind the ear before pausing to lick his paw. If she wanted to say something, now was the time to say it. Because, well... dogs should be able to understand other dogs, right?

... er, maybe. It doesn't really work that way does it. ]

[ Arthur pressed his body against Kazu's hand, wide eyed and lolling. Since when did getting felt up get to be this good? hngh.. no wonder his dogs were always scrambling to get his attention before a hunt. It's too damn good to get a scratch behind the ear.

And after a second of blissful ignorance, Arthur shakes himself. Huh? Was Kazu trying to say something? After another second, he barked. Once for yes. Because he's clearly lost and needs a point in the right direction.

Now if only he could get the dumb human to understand! ]

[Charlie sniffs the smaller dog again before stretching out, crossing her paws in front of herself. Yeah, this dog? Very familiar. It works for her.

If she knew it were Arthur, she'd express more excitement at it being him. As it was, she just liked the other dog.]

[ fact: it is difficult to get a dumb human to understand if you don't even know what you're communicating!! ]

Hey, hey! [ he glances around... no owners. this is weird, the pomeranian looks almost spoiled in being cared for. no owner who loved a pet that much would let it just wander the streets. still... ] What, you hungry?

[ he stretches out a palm, miming feeding. yes, Kazu, gestures solve everything. ]

[ ... he bats at her nose and yaps. Play with him! He's bored >: ]

[ fact: don't make him bite you! it hurts.

He yaps again! Jumping this time straight up at Kazu, tail wagging a mile a minute and -- wait, he wasn't hunting for food. He wanted to go home -- oooooooh, but food sounded so good.

He licks that hand. Once, twice, thrice! ~~and there's no bone at the center of a tootsie roll pop >: ]~~

All right! Butcher's stuff okay? Though I guess you wouldn't know, huh...

[ dogs can't be expected to comprehend that much, obviously. nevertheless, Kazu starts walking towards the cluster of shops, glancing sidelong for the odd little pup to follow. at least he's cute? he can figure out a LOST sign later. ]

[ Maybe he's just being loyal to his cat-lover of a master. ]

...if you want food, you should beg someone who has food.

[ bah, dogs are superior! ]

[ he whimpers and lays down on leo's foot, ears flat and tail drooping. sigh, stupid Leo. You were supposed to be so good to him... ]

[ Arthur waits a moment before barking and bounding off after Kazu. His meal ticket isn't getting away that easily! Cue one dog forever getting underfoot. It's either that or trampled by some stranger nearby. He hates that! ]

[ Dogs bother you more when you're reading, Leo's siding with Elliot.

At the very least, he'll crouch down to pat the poor dog on the head. ]

You know, there's someone at that bench over there who got up to talk to someone and left their food behind.

[ If only dogs understood human speech. He sure isn't stealing food for a dog. ]

Edited 2012-08-30 05:11 (UTC)

[ bawww, he's missed having a small dog. cue laughter. ]

All right, all right! I said I'd feed you—you can cool it a little! C'mon, it's this way. Wonder if you've got a name...

[ Arthur's head immediately zooms off to the right, looking at the bench. uh-huh. He definitely understood you.

FOOOOOOOOD.

food! food! food!

Bounding, he runs off (but he does lick leo's ~~face~~ hand appreciatively first before he goes. He's not entirely against giving thanks where thanks are due. He is a prince!

Just... a dog prince, apparently. for the day. ]

[ Arthur!

... he growls low in his throat, backing off just a little, but dang it all. Why is he a dog! Everything was made insurmountably more difficult then it needed to be right now. ]

[ Well, that was an interesting midday distraction from the usual. ]

[ if he sticks around, he may well have an Arthur puppy curled up on his feet to nap while Leo reads. You know. As part of his thanks. ~~attached to the hand that feeds him~~ ]

[ Around-ish. There's a bench in a quieter spot nearby that he's been visiting. ]

[ oh no, canine mood change. :( ]

Hey—it's okay! What's up?

[Korra laughs and squirms a little as he licks her.]

Okay! Let's get some food.

[She walks them all over to a cafe that she knows is dog-friendly.]
