[The clocktower is striking midnight, and Euri and Dog are sitting out on the front steps. In front of them is a decent-sized bonfire that's burning gold and red. Euri's watching it sullenly, sipping at some kind of drink in a large mug. Dog is sprawled over her lap like a lazy mutt.]

You know, this holiday is a lot more serious when you celebrate it with only a couple of people.

It's much more relaxing, though.

I guess.... [She scratches at his ears with her free hand.] You're pretty relaxed.

And you should cheer up.~ This time of the year isn't that bad.

Tche....

((Black = Euri, red = Dog. Dated at midnight!))

That's right. Woof, bark, urf - just noises, no language. [Yesss pets are the best *A*]

[ She's never petted an animal before, so she's probably not doing that good a job, but...it's something. ]

I don't know how anyone could understand that.

[Any attention is good attention to him c:]

It's all in the tone. Usually humans don't pick up on that unless it's obvious.

[retenir.livejournal.com]

[ Even if she pets his fur the wrong way? ]

I bet you're right.

Of course he's right. He's always right. [Said just a little dryly.]

[umbrare.livejournal.com]

[YES C:

He chuckles and rolls onto his side.]

Only most of the time.

[ So kind and forgiving and accepting! ]

You must be very smart.

I've been around a long time.

[retenir.livejournal.com]

How long?

[umbrare.livejournal.com]

Hmm... I've been around for more years than you could count.

[retenir.livejournal.com]

I know how to count.

[umbrare.livejournal.com]

I'm sure you do. But I'm old.

[retenir.livejournal.com]

How old?

[umbrare.livejournal.com]

Very old.

[retenir.livejournal.com]

That's not a number.

[umbrare.livejournal.com]

I know.

[retenir.livejournal.com]

It's because you think I wouldn't understand, isn't it?

[umbrare.livejournal.com]

Pretty much.

[retenir.livejournal.com]

[ Hmph. You're lucky she keeps petting you, Dog. ]

Mean.

[umbrare.livejournal.com]

[Huhuhu *A*]

It's not that important, anyway.~

[retenir.livejournal.com]

Why not?

[ Pettin' his ears. ]

[umbrare.livejournal.com]

People place importance on age due to mortality. I don't have that issue.

[retenir.livejournal.com]

So...you aren't mortal?

[umbrare.livejournal.com]

I am not.

[retenir.livejournal.com]

How?
