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! ]

[negativegate]

[She steps over a little, holding the door open. Can he even reach what he's looking for?]

Okay, okay, here!

[blackshadow]

[ ...No. He paws at the vegetable drawer, though he's looking up at the sliced meat on the top shelf. Not that he isn't trying to climb up there futily. ]

[negativegate]

You want this stuff up here...?

[She looks up...to the second shelf from the top, where there's some kind of pie.]

We can have dessert if you want.

[blackshadow]

[ ...Tyr whines again and barks. Nooo, higher! He tries to point with paw. ]

[negativegate]

Wow, you're really excited for it.

[Pie it is!! Rita pulls it out of the fridge.]

So you'll eat apple pie but not just an apple? Dogs are weird.

[blackshadow]

[Dang it... He groans again and shakes his head. This is getting pointless...

He turns tail and heads out of the kitchen.]

[negativegate]

[She just stands there holding a pie and staring after him! B(]

H-hey! Tyr! Where are you going?

[blackshadow]

[ He doesn't answer this time! He just heads for the stairs and...carefully tries to climb up. Stairs are so awkward now. ]

[negativegate]

Tyr! What's with you?

[Uuuugh. She shoves the pie back in the fridge and comes after him, though she doesn't try to grab him just yet.]

[blackshadow]

[ He scoffs and ends up just sitting on the fifth step and looking at her. He doesn't look too happy. ]

[negativegate]

What?

[She has no problem talking to him, but she really wishes she knew what he wants!! Trying to translate yips and dog body language is too hard.]

...Are you still hungry or not?

[blackshadow]

[ Tyr wishes he could talk too, but all he can do is stare at her. He can't tell her anything, like how he's hungry but wants real food.

Not that pie isn't real food. ]

[negativegate]

Tyr? You can tell me yes or no, you know.

[Is he mad about something? Rita starts to think he might be... Or maybe it's something else. Ugh, this is so confusing!]

[blackshadow]

[ He groans and finally just nods. Yes, he is hungry. ]

[negativegate]

Ugh...

[She groans right back, because she still doesn't get why he started to leave...]

So you don't want pie after all, is that it? What am I supposed to feed you, a whole steak or something?

[She says it mostly out of frustration!]

[blackshadow]

[ Oh, she said the right thing. Tyr visibly straightens, eyes shining brightly and smiling. ]

Yip!!

[ Tail even dusts off the stairs... ]

[negativegate]

[She blinks...]

Huh... Wait, seriously? That's what you want?

[...And she shrugs. Feeding a dog is so difficult! But she'd better get him something.]

Okay, okay, let's go see if we have any of that.

[blackshadow]

[ What's that tone for? He looks less excited as he hops down the stairs again. His tail still wags, though. ]

[negativegate]

[She's just frustrated it took her so long to figure out...but she isn't going to keep being moody!! She waits for Tyr to get back down to the floor, then starts walking for the kitchen again.]

Is any kind of meat fine, then?

[blackshadow]

[ And he prances after her! But any kind of meat is good as long as there aren't bones..., so he barks brightly at her. ]

[negativegate]

[How did it take her this long to figure it out, huff... But oh, well--he's excited again, so a hint of a smile returns to her face.]

Then that should make it easy.

[Sure enough, there's that sliced meat that was right on the top shelf...]

This'll do, right?

[blackshadow]

[ It sure will judging by how happy Tyr is and how he's standing on his hindlegs to try to reach up and grab it from her. And even Rita's smiling! It's a good ending. ]

[negativegate]

[Rita laughs and tears off a strip of ham to hold out for him. Perfect ending!]

Don't you dare bite my fingers, got it?

[blackshadow]

[ He tries to grab at it, but... Oh right, he doesn't have hands. He guesses eating out of hers isn't so bad. He gets back down on all fours and nods before opening his mouth. Give me the fooood. ]

[negativegate]

[She can't help but smile watching him, though she thinks it must be weird being a dog... In any case, she pokes the piece into his open mouth.]
