[tauborn]

[He'll just be lying there on a patch of slightly damp grass, completely exhausted.

But it's clear by the occasional roll of the ankles or full body stretch that he's awake and okay to bother.]

[itaidakimasu]

Are you okay?

{Yako had deliberated a few moments over whether or not to bother him, but there's an extra waterbottle cradled in the crook of her arm and he looks like he could use it more than her.}

[tauborn]

[He lifts his head up--a little startled--and then relaxes a little as he sits up.]

Yeah. Just... it's been a while since I've had a workout like that.

[itaidakimasu]

I know the feeling.

{She takes a sip from her own bottle, before offering him the unopened one.}

I've started to run again. I'm not as fast as I used to be, but then again I haven't had as much incentive to run here the way I did back home...

[tauborn]

[He nods knowingly.]

It's my first day training since last month. I might have overdone it.

[itaidakimasu]

It happens to the best of us. Water?

[tauborn]

[She... definitely reminds him of someone, and the nostalgia elicits just as much of a smile as it does a well-hidden pang of loneliness.]

Please. And thanks.

[He hesitates for a moment, and then pats the ground next to him, inviting her to take a seat.]

I'm Takuto. Takuto Tsunashi.

[itaidakimasu]

{She catches some of the undercurrents of that smile but just settles down next to him, handing off the bottle.}

My name's Yako Katsuragi. It's nice to meet you!

[tauborn]

[For a moment, he most certainly did not hear her name properly. He stares at her, completely ignoring the bottle in his hand as he splutters at her.]

D-d-did you say Wako?

[open]

[motherofthesun]

[Takuto may suddenly find a paw on his face. Yup, because that's obviously okay to do.]

[open]

[tauborn]

Wha-huh-whaaa... ehh?!?

[He fumbles to a sitting position, and then stares, blinking at the enormous white dog in front of him.]

[open]

[motherofthesun]

[Haha, it's funny because she's bigger than you sitting like this. Big old trolling white furball...]

[tauborn]

[But she's pretty, and he very much likes dogs.]

I wonder who you belong to...

[And he's petting her soft fur under the pretense of searching for a collar.]

[motherofthesun]

[She just tilts her head along with it, grinning. Takuto is not going to find a collar, but he will find her communicator with its sun strap.]

[tauborn]

Huh?

[What is a dog doing with a communicator? Was this some kind of prank? Or had Excalibur turned someone into a dog as his latest trick?

It's true, though, that this dog doesn't exactly seem like a normal dog.... He continues petting her absently while he tries to figure out what's up with the communicator.]

[motherofthesun]

[More wolf grins and nuzzles. Looking at the communicator's screen, he'll see some words]

Do you mind returning that? I wouldn't want to lose it.

[tauborn]

....

[He notices the screen, and is now repeatedly looking back at the dog, then at the screen, then at the dog again.]

Uh, who are you?

[topgun_textiles]

[Have this kid looking down at you.]

That bleach job looks a hell of a lot better when it's all dry.

[tauborn]

[He opens one eye, and then smiles at Kanji.]

It's perfect, actually. [With only a slight groan, he sits up, stretching his neck and rolling his shoulders.]

How's your morning going?

[topgun_textiles]

Like it always does. I ain't complainin'; I had a dumbass cold after that tsunami in Norway that kept me in bed a few days. My partner kept me all cooped up until I got better.

[tauborn]

Yeah. Norway was... cold.

[Takuto had been there, but the experience had only made him decide to get on with things. It still meant he was exhausted, though.]

Do you... know how to swim?

[topgun_textiles]

'Course I do! Y'got this huge river runnin' through the town I'm from... every kid's had a dip in it.

[Besides, it explained why he just had to give swimming lessons yesterday.]

[tauborn]

[Error: Irreparable invalid markup ('<takuto grins.]</small>') in entry. Owner must fix manually. Raw contents below.]

<Takuto grins.]</small>

There was a lake not too far from where I grew up. And then I went to live on an island.

<small>[So obviously he also knows how to swim. He's actually pretty darn good at it.]</small>

[topgun_textiles]

Yeah, that'll do it.

[He stretched his arms high over his head.]

Iza's been restless lately. Guess she misses Firecracker. So now I'm torn on gettin' another cat or a dog...

welp, html fail.

[tauborn]

Huh? Really?

[Firecracker, on the other hand, is always full of restless energy unless he's just been taken out or played with.] Well, I could always bring Firecracker over... or you could bring her back over to my place?
