[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!))

[actionlaced.livejournal.com]

Of course he can!

[umbrare.livejournal.com]

Mhmm. We've spoken before.

[heresyandlace.livejournal.com]

Oh.

[and now he recognizes the voice.

Just... give him a minute to quietly keysmash in his head asgfdhjka]

...I see.

[Hur hur hur c:]

Still don't believe I'm a dog?

[actionlaced.livejournal.com]

[Euri looks between them, confused.]

[heresyandlace.livejournal.com]

[a huff!]

You can't honestly blame me for doubting you.

And, you could have been a little more specific than just 'dog,' by the way.

But he is a dog.

[umbrare.livejournal.com]

[He is chuckling c:]

Exactly.

[heresyandlace.livejournal.com]

[he's laughing on the inside. can't you hear it? :\]

Right. And I'm a lizard.

[umbrare.livejournal.com]

Awfully big for a lizard.

[actionlaced.livejournal.com]

Why is it so hard to believe? Do you want him to play fetch or herd sheep?

[heresyandlace.livejournal.com]

And you're awfully old for a dog.

[ignoring the girl for now]

[umbrare.livejournal.com]

I know.

[heresyandlace.livejournal.com]

[he takes a minute to frown and narrow his eyes warily. ...And he is not someone to look at many things with any amount of wariness.]

...Where do you come from, might I ask?

[umbrare.livejournal.com]

Minoa. [He wags his tail a little.]

[actionlaced.livejournal.com]

That's our world.

[heresyandlace.livejournal.com]

[ah right, the girl. He shifts his attention to her, then]

And you. I've spoken with you before as well, haven't I?
