The dorms lawn- Friday afternoon

[notconflicted]

Sia had Vitor trained pretty well, but he was a breed that needed activity, or she'd come back to her room to find it destroyed. So she brought him to the front lawn to let him run around unleashed for a while, since telekinesis was really good for keeping puppies from successfully running off.

After a while of sitting and watching him attack some leaves, she decided she had no idea what he was doing. And that he was probably having more fun than her at any given moment.

And there Atton was, fresh off his... non-alcoholic class party.

He paused on his way out of the dorms to eyeball the dog running around. "Well, he's definitely got his priorities straight."

[notconflicted]

"I think he believes that the leaves he's attacking pose some sort of threat," she said.

She didn't actually think that, no.

[suitably_heroic]

"I know I always walk around that stack of leaves in a great big circle," Atton drawled. "Terrifying stuff."

[notconflicted]

"Now maybe you won't have to anymore," Sia said, looking up at him. "Hello."

[suitably_heroic]

"Hey," Atton said, padding further onto the lawn. "What's going on? Besides the impending threat your pet's fighting over here."

[notconflicted]

"Absolutely nothing," she said. "I'm letting him get his excess energy out now so I don't spend my entire night tossing a ball across the room. Yourself?"

"I just spent an entire class hanging around and drinking punch because our teacher wants us to socialize," Atton said. "Real useful."

[notconflicted]

"That sounds thrilling," Sia told him. "I'm just amazed no one spiked the punch."

She'd been to one dance here and was on to how things worked, yes.

[suitably_heroic]

"I think that was the teacher throwing glares at us from his end of the room," Atton said.

Besides, he preferred to stand back and let someone else do the spiking; it was less conspicuous.

[notconflicted]

"Why did he want you to socialize, anyway? It's awkward enough when you're forced to do it in real life?" Not that she ever got awkward about it, but she knew others did.

"I don't know," Atton admitted, sitting down next to her. "I mean, when I signed on for it, I thought it was going to be some kind of urban survivalist class. Turns out it's mostly about hugs and kisses and how much Fandom has made us feel better. Or something."

[notconflicted]

"Suddenly I wish I could audit this class just once," she almost smiled.

And hope you didn't mind more socialization, Atton, because Vitor had just noticed you and needed to say hi right now.

[suitably_heroic]

"I spend most of it sleeping--" Atton started.

And then there was a dog nearly crawling into his lap. "Hey!"

[notconflicted]

Vitor just wanted to show Atton how glad he was that he was here! By licking!

"He's very friendly," Sia said, unnecessarily.

[suitably_heroic]

"Yeah, I can tell-- hey, stay away from the face!"

There was some minor, manly flailing. Look, he was trying not to injure the thing!

"Space, there's drool all over my pants!"

Give him a couple of seconds. He'd adjust.

[notconflicted]

"Just wait until you get to watch him when I'm home," Sia smiled.

[suitably_heroic]

"Ugh," Atton commented, but the dog had calmed down a little. He let go of his flailgrip on Vitor, who sat down.

Bucky watched the puppy for a few moments, and then snorted and shook his head. "Stupid dog," he sighed. "Leaves are made of vegetables."

[notconflicted]

He wasn't trying to eat them! Just show them who was boss! Just like how he was watching the cat here now and barking!

Or maybe he was just saying hi.

[monkeymonkeydie.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, that's right I called you stupid!" Bucky challenged. "You wanna come over here and make something of it? Huh? Do you, punk?!"

It wasn't every day that he came across a dog that was smaller than him. He wasn't about to let the opportunity pass him by.

Olive happened to be bringing Ally out for her walk, and when she saw Vitor running around...well, it was hardly fair, was it? Ally was straining against her leash, shooting Olive little pleady looks until she unhooked her so she could go join her friend.

"I for one feel protected against those leaves," Olive greeted Sia.

[notconflicted]

"They're extremely dangerous, by the looks of it," Sia said, watching Vitor eye Ally to see if she was going to help or not. "The dorms have been saved."

[dirtiest-skank.livejournal.com]

Ally heroically stomped on a leaf, crushing it below her mighty paw. SO THERE.

"Our saviors," Olive sighed. "We were in serious peril there. Good dogs."

[notconflicted]

"They've found a purpose other than looking cute and eating, I suppose," said Sia, just as Vitor started barking at... possibly the grass.

"I mean, they'd become experts at that," Olive noted. "Time to branch on out."
