66 - [action]

[blackshadow]

[ In the proud tradition of schipperkes...Tyr has decided that everything is his. After being taken from the house after barking at Flynn to back out of the kitchen (maybe with a few growls thrown in there...), he has decided to sit outside of various restaurants...and bark at anyone who looks sort of suspicious approaching.

Depending on how scary a dog that's not even knee-high is, this could work out well for him! ]


[ ooc: Action for when he was still at the beach house is also okay! ]

[Maybe it's later in the day! It doesn't take a genius to figure out what might've become of Tyr after hearing that a dog was sent out of the house on a dog curse day. She wonders if he still looks the same as last time...

But either way, she'll walk around, calling for him! She's not too worried, so her voice is pretty casual, but she wants to make sure nothing happens to him.]

Tyr... Tyr...

[Should she say 'here boy'?]

[blackshadow]

[ Rita better not treat him like a dog! He stops barking momentarily when he hears her say his name -- He did hear it, right? It's not like there are many "Tyr"s in the City... -- before turning and barking in her direction. But it's a happy bark! He stands up from his spot and starts wagging his tail. Despite all the small animals he's chased today, he doesn't run up to Rita. ]

[negativegate]

[Who's a cute dog, Tyr? Rita's heard so many of them yapping today that she almost doesn't register that particular bark, though she spots him as she turns her head. And she thinks that dog does sorta look familiar! So she starts in his direction....why is he outside a restaurant, anyway?]

Tyr...?

[blackshadow]

[ Yip yip! Oh, she noticed him! His tail wags even more as he runs up to meet her. It's either Tyr or a dog that's just happy to see her. His tongue is out with a sort of dog-like smile and everything.

And for the record, he likes the lunch specials at that place. It's his. ]

[negativegate]

[Why is identifying dogs so hard... Rita tilts her head as if hoping that'll make it easier, but she really can't tell if it's him. She still crouches down to get a closer look and reach out her hand to him.]

You look like just any other dog to me... You're Tyr, right?

[blackshadow]

[ ...He doesn't want to look like any dog. He groans, eats tilting back as he looks up at her.

But she's holding out her hand, so he should hold it, right? Have a paw in your hand, Rita. ]

[negativegate]

Haha, okay, okay. You look like just one dog.

[It has to be Tyr. Finally! He seems all right, so she smiles and holds his paw.]

What are you doing all the way out here, anyway?

[blackshadow]

[ Tyr smiles again, tongue hanging out happily. Aww yeah only dog in the world.

...But he doesn't know how to answer that he was shooed out, so he just continues to smile at her. And bark once - maybe she can tell that it's an appreciative bark. He's glad Rita's with him again. ]

[negativegate]

[It's...a bark, all right! Rita just kind of looks at him--and then laughs, because that tongue.]

Haha...Well, do you want to go back to the house?

[dispossess]

[ He was just passing by, the restaurant is still yours, Tyrdog. ]

...I can see why they wouldn't want you inside.

[ Officially, he is tired of this dog day. ]

[blackshadow]

[ You're about as suspicious as they come, but that's not why Tyr growls at him even as he passes by. ]

[dispossess]

[ Is he really getting dog sass from this tiny dog. Really. ]

If you behave, they might let you inside.

[blackshadow]

[ Is he really getting advice from someone that talks to dogs? Tyr gives him a growling bark, ears pointed forward. It's not like he wants to eat today or anything! ]

[dispossess]

[ It's no worse than Elliot with cats, so it's fine for now.

And since this dog is still very angry at him, he figures there's no sense in staying here and paying it attention. ]

Fine, stay out here.

[blackshadow]

[ Yes, go weird-looking guy.

...But before his deep sense of doggy pride of scaring away an intruder sinks in, he remembers that this is dumb. He barks once more before he prances after Leo. ]

[dispossess]

[ ...Tyrdog, you can either want him gone or want to hang out with him. And you can only pick one. ]

...what now?

[blackshadow]

[ HE DOESN'T KNOW WHAT HE WANTS. Barking at people just seems rude, though.

So he'll just look forward trail behind Leo for now. ]

[firstaid]

[Wait, she remembers this puppy! Puppy, come here before you leave the house, she needs to pet you, and they need to play, and--- and---!

Here she goes, onward, to pet the cute puppy she hasn't seen in a long time!]

action;

[blackshadow]

[ !! It's Estelle! His instincts tell him to run away, and he almost does, but...Estelle! She's his friend!

His tail starts to wag after a moment and he runs up to Estelle with a happy bark. ]

action;

[firstaid]

[Ah, he barked at her! Good puppy! She bends down giving him a light pat on his head before petting him. Her expression was extremely gleeful, all too happy to be petting an animal again!]

How are you doing today, boy?

action;

[blackshadow]

[ He's just happy to see Estelle so happy! He lifts his head into her hand as she pets him. He really wonders why the other animals don't like her... She's not exactly ruffling his fur weirdly.

He doesn't even know how to answer her question, though. Yes/no answers are about all he can give. ]

action;

[firstaid]

[She doesn't really expect an answer, though in her mind, she sort of expected a bark. One that she would have interpreted as 'good'... she hopes. Continuing to pet him, she kneels to get more comfortable because she wants to spend time with the puppy!]

I haven't seen you in a long time! Where do you live?

action;

[blackshadow]

[ And Tyr is more than happy to stay with her. It almost makes him sad that he can't just turn into a dog to cheer her up; he's sure she could have used that a few times...

As for an answer, he barks and taps his paw on the ground. Right here! ]

action;

[firstaid]

[And Estelle has no clue what that answer means. Maybe he wants her to follow him to her home!]

Are you going to show me where you live, then?

[Clearly, Estelle is the greatest animal whisperer ever...]

action;

[blackshadow]

[Um. Well. Tyr whines a little and lowers his head. He probably shouldn't reveal who he is just yet...

After a moment, he barks and prances past her towards the stairs.

...Man he hates climbing these as a dog. He'll just wait at the foot and look back at her.]
