"I think I passed a little indoor play area in here, probably down in front of the Macy's store. Want to take Sir Artemis out that way and play with him a little?"

So it seemed there was no action from the dog, maybe it didn't want to play? Or maybe it was just didn't want to play at the pet shop. Abby stuck her nose up and sniffed around. It did smell in here, maybe that was it. When running away from the security guard, Abby didn't notice a play area at all. She was too busy trying to watch where she was going. Unfortunately she didn't do such a good job in the end. She did, after all, get two blue hand prints on Darrien's nice white jacket.

" Um... OK! Let's go there! Where is there anyway?" She asked curiously. Abby didn't really know what a Macy's story was. She looked around a bit but didn't make a real effort. She'd just follow Darrien! He'd lead the way for sure.

And lead the way he did. Over a rather oddly placed bridge in the mall's floorplan and through a large crowd of young girls awaiting someone's appearance at a clothing store, the mall's indoor play area was soon reached.

Darrien crouched down and pulled a couple of things from the bag, just a few treats and the collar, and looked up at Sir Artemis, who was still in Abby's arms.

"Well he certainly looks comfortable there." Darrien grinned.

Sir Artemis was comfortable, a first for him in a long time. He'd been in that store window as long as he remembered, which given his uniqueness as a pooch, was a fair portion of his life. Keeping quiet, he squirmed slightly in her arms to offer a little play, since it seemed she was a little disappointed in his lack thereof in the store.



Viva la Coolie!

Abby followed Darrien closely. Along the way she almost got lost in the group of girls. They seemed fixed on something, but she didn't care what it was. She held the dog in her arms with a smile on her face as she broke through the crowd and ran after Darrien. She slid slightly, and stopped behind him, just before he turned to see her.

"Well he certainly looks comfortable there."

Abby nodded. " Yeah it's pretty cool." She replied happily. When the dog began to squirm, Abby knelt down and put the dog on the floor. She tilted her head to the side and looked at it strangely. " What kinda stuff did you get for your dog?" Abby asked. She reached over and tapped the puppy on the nose lightly with her index finger, before proceeding to scratch him behind his ear.

"I got him a few things, feeding bowl, walking leash, collar so people know he's mine, this little ducky chew toy, and a cool little hat I won't make him wear right now."

Seeing how tame the little fella was made Darrien happy about his purchase. He simply sat and watched as Arty's hind leg batted up and down while she scratched behind his ear. He set the chew toy down in front of the puppy and watched to see what happened.

Sir Artemis wasn't the attention seeking breed, but who would turn down a good scratching? The poke to the nose made him wince ever so slightly, then the awkwardly dressed girl made up for it by soothing an itch he'd somehow maintained for nearly a week.

With the chew toy on the ground next to him, while maintaining as much dignity as he could, he rolled away from Abby and seized it in his mouth. The squeaky noise it made was a little annoying, but other than that he did rather enjoy chewing on something.

Abby giggled as the dog winced, but then seemed to enjoy the scratch behind the ear. She giggled even more when it rolled away. Dogs were so much fun! Sitting there on the ground, Abby watched the dog go after the chew toy. He really seemed to like it by the way he was biting at it. Abby put the soles of her feet together and held onto them as she rocked from side to side slightly and watched the dog.

The squeaking noise came as a bit of a surprise to Abby. After a short while she figured out where it was coming from, but couldn't figure out why it was coming from the toy. " How come it makes a squeaking sound? Is it dieing, or just having heaps of fun?" Abby asked, staring at the toy with curious amber eyes.

"Drop it a moment boy." Darrien said to Arty, making sure not to jerk the bit of rubber from his mouth. Chew toy in hand, he turned it over to show the tiny hole in the rubber form at the base of the duck.

"See this tiny little hole down here? The way the rubber is formed, when the air is forced out by squeezing its body like this." Darrien squeezed the toy so that it made the same sound. Sir Artemis jumped into the air when he heard it, then sat with his mouth open and its tail wagging.

"Apologies, here you are then." he said as he returned the toy to the puppy's mouth.

"Drop it a moment boy."..."See this tiny little hole down here? The way the rubber is formed, when the air is forced out by squeezing its body like this."

Abby watched as the dog did what Darrien commanded it to. It seemed pretty obedient for a dog that was just bought, but then again what would Abby really know anyway. The young girl listened as he spoke about it, but missed half of it as she became so interested in the toy in front of her. It made noise! Why had she never seen these things before? Toys like that would make for some serious annoyance.

"Apologies, here you are then."

But then the dog got the toy again. Abby made a mental note to get some of these toys, they seemed like fun! " Wow that's so cool!" She replied. After a moment of silence, Abby thought of another question and decided to ask. " You're pretty smart y'know Darrien. How come you know so much stuff?" She asked curiously.

Sir Artemis waited patiently while the demonstration took place. It was odd how obedient he was, but given his unique abilities, this pooch could see through any fog of facade in front of the boy that had just purchased him. If he was to be dealt any harm, he'd certainly see it coming with enough time to mount a defense. With the toy in his mouth once again, he trotted a short distance from the two and made a bit of a show of wrestling with the duck, squeaking noises nearing record numbers.

" You're pretty smart y'know Darrien. How come you know so much stuff?"

A slight moment to indulge in the flattery, Darrien stroked his hair back with his hand and pressed his glasses closer to his eyes. "I've read a lot, I don't really sleep, and there's only so much one can do otherwise. Howabout you miss Anderson? What is it you like to do, other than feel paint?" he chose his words carefully in an attempt to keep them within her understanding.

"I've read a lot, I don't really sleep, and there's only so much one can do otherwise. How about you miss Anderson? What is it you like to do, other than feel paint?"

Abby had been asked that question before, so it wasn't something she had to think about all that much. Still, in her thoughts she became side tracked, and wondered why it was such a popular question to ask. " I like to run around and stuff and have fun! Oooh, y'know what's fun? Exploring! There's so much stuff to explore around here, that's why I like it so much!" She explained.

Abby hadn't been on an exploring mission yet, but it was something she was planning on doing at some time or another. As the squeaking sound finally caught her attention, Abby looked over to the dog and watched it. She giggled slightly as she watched. " He sure is having fun." She said.

Rolling onto his back, Arty mimiced the position Abby had assumed in the pet store. He waved his paws through the air and shook back and forth, making the squeaking noise seem more shrill and short lived with each movement. After a few moments of making swim-like motions through the air, he let go of the toy, sending it flying into Abby's feet.

"Animals are rather easily entertained, aren't they?" although this little guy may break that mold. Darrien spoke, then subsequently thought. He wasn't about to say it to Abby, partly because they did just meet a short time ago, partly because he hadn't yet figured out for himself whether or not he was right quite yet.

"Exploring is a whole lot of fun. Perhaps one day, when Sir Artemis is a little better rested, we should have an adventure in the forest outside the school grounds?" he changed the relatively serious expression on his lips to a quirky grin, then returned his eyes to the pup.

So much energy in a small package, he really didn't seem to like it in that cage at all. Alas, everyone's supply of zip must run out sooner or later, Arty simply laid on his back a little, silently begging for a good tummy rub.

Re: The Pursuit of Happiness (open)
Abby stared at the dog, watching its every move as it rolled onto its back like she had done before in the pet store. Then suddenly the duck came flying at her, landing at her feet. She tilted her head to the side, just looking at it for a few moments before picking it up. She squeezed it, making the small toy squeak. It brought a huge smile to her face when she heard the noise.

"Exploring is a whole lot of fun. Perhaps one day, when Sir Artemis is a little better rested, we should have an adventure in the forest outside the school grounds?"

The amber eyed girl looked up at her new friend and nodded. " Sure, it sounds like fun! We'll get to play more, Arty!" Abby replied, excitement clear in her voice. She looked back to the dog. Abby reached over and dropped the toy beside him, then proceeded to rub and scratch his tummy.

With his belly being rubbed, Arty felt like a king. This was the life, a new owner (a handsome, witty, charming, really all around awesome owner <.<), constant attention, and a cool puppy hat (come on, name one puppy that wouldn't want their own hat >.>). All he could do was lay back and kick his paws in the air.

Darrien smirked down at the pup, wondering how lovely the world would be if those were the same conditions for a human to be living in the lap of luxury. The owner part would be trickiest, seeing as aside from slavery, people didn't exactly own other people. But, the constant attention and the cool hat, well he already had those in abundance. Perhaps he needed a girl? That could solve the owner quagmire. Ah well, all things happen for a reason, even though the reasons rarely, if ever make any sense.

"Well, it's starting to get late and the mall is about to close. Perhaps it's time we walk back to the dorms?." he gathered up all the bags of things he'd bought for the puppy. "I'll get these, care to give our little friend a lift?"

Abby nodded at what Darrien said. She hadn't noticed it was getting late. Time was not a factor for Abby anyway. She looked back to Sir Artemis, still rubbing the puppy's tummy. She stopped after a few moments and reached around him, picking him up in her small arms. Abby rose to her feet and looked up to Darrien. " Otay, let's go then!" She called, for some reason her voice was still filled with excitement.

She would just follow him back to the school, since Abby had only just realised she had no idea which was it was. It was like that with her, she would just wander around enough until she found a place worth exploring. Wandering around in attempts to find her way back always seemed to work for her. It truly was a mystery as to why.

Re: The Pursuit of Happiness (open)
Being carried is a luxury afforded to a select few, it always feels good when you're getting from a to b on someone else's legs. Sir Artemis cuddled into Abby's arms and closed his little puppy eyes, drifting into a deep puppy sleep. While asleep in her arms, he kicked his legs out a little, almost as if in his dream he'd been chasing something.

Darrien took a step forward, careful not to jar the the parcels he was carrying. "We'd better be off then, if he's asleep already we should get him somewhere to lay down. I live on the third floor in the dorms, it shouldn't be too long a walk." With that, he led her off toward the residance building, eager for some sleep himself.



Viva la Coolie!
