[Mister Charlie]

A-Ah... Mister Charlie?


[Out by the duck pond, this kid throwing bread to the ducks. She happens to be... Well, as deep in thought as a kid her age can get. Also she can't throw very well, so the bread is kinda going everywhere. Oh well. ]

[B... baww stop... crying at him...]

Where are you? We can catch up. If you want...

Mister Charlie

[cartrauma.livejournal.com]

Oh, you don't have to if you're busy! It's fine!

Chiyo

[ultimaverum.livejournal.com]

[N-no Chiyo. You can't give him an out right now or he'll take it lksjdf]

I'm not busy...

Mister Charlie

[cartrauma.livejournal.com]

If you really aren't busy... It would be nice to see you!

I'm at the duck pond right now.

Chiyo

[ultimaverum.livejournal.com]

[Oh okay. Now he has to do it]

Alright. Give me a little bit to get there.

[Gotta go get the puppy to make her feel better, after all]

Mister Charlie

[cartrauma.livejournal.com]

Ok! Take your time!

[Aaaaand he's here after a few minutes. Sneaking with a puppy takes time to know. He sets Adam on the ground so the dog can run up to beg pets from Chiyo before he gets there. Cheer up, kid. Don't worry about him]

[She was still throwing bread but... Oh. OH.]

Puppy!! [PUPPIES MAKE EVERYTHING BETTER]

And ever

[ultimaverum.livejournal.com]

[YES THEY DO. Said puppy is just... flailing at her, jumping up and dog and yapping occasionally. PET HIM PET HIM PET HIMMMMMMM]

[And a little after that starts, Charlie is close enough that he can say: ]

His name is Adam.

[cartrauma.livejournal.com]

[She puts the bread down so she can lean down and pet him]

Mister Charlie! You got a dog!

[ultimaverum.livejournal.com]

Mmhm. [Pauses a little ways away from her, just kind of... watching them. They're so cute, jesus]

Well... actually I'm looking after him for Abel. [Sort of. Abel's brother really. But y'know... whatevs]

[cartrauma.livejournal.com]

He's Father Abel's? Well, it's nice that you have him around! [Pet pet pet smile pet pet pet]

He's a good boy!

[ultimaverum.livejournal.com]

[Adam's gonna run circles around you and bark at ducks now kthnx]

He is... surprisingly good, for how [tiny] young he is. I was surprised Abel of all people was able to train him so well. [By which he means, at all...]

[cartrauma.livejournal.com]

[She's happily watching Adam but after a little bit that smile is going to... Get a little sad before she perks back up]

Adam! Here boy! Don't bother the ducks... Does he know how to fetch? I don't have a ball but I'm sure I can find a stick for him.

[ultimaverum.livejournal.com]

[Adam kind of... keeps running for a little bit before races over and parking his doggy self at her feet]

[But... Charlie is SO not letting that look slip him by]

I actually haven't tried yet... [Tilts his head] Chiyo... Are you alright?

[cartrauma.livejournal.com]

[She looks around and... OH HAY there's a stick. She picks it up and holds it up and waggles it for the little dog]

I'm ok!

[ultimaverum.livejournal.com]

[ADAM IS SUPER EXCITED FOR THIS STICK YO and Charlie... doesn't... believe you]

You know you can tell me if you're not, right?

[cartrauma.livejournal.com]

[YES. She throws stick but it... Goes kinda to the left and not very far. ): ]

It's just... I miss Mister Tadakichi.

[ultimaverum.livejournal.com]

[Adam races off but... he'll probably be distracted for a bit cause he doesn't... really know what he's supposed to be doing...]

Your dog...? [Awww poor kid..]

[cartrauma.livejournal.com]

Adam... The stick! Get the stick! It's right there!

[She nods] I've had him for a long time. We would go for walks everyday in the afternoon and Miss Sakaki would come too sometimes. At night he would sleep in my room and he made it easier for me to get around if I got tired...

[ultimaverum.livejournal.com]

[More flailing. More flailing. WAIT STICK YES GOT THE STICK. Perks up and just... stares at Chiyo from wherever she threw the stick to]

[And Charlie is just... silent for a bit. Then he glances out to town]

Have you thought about getting another dog while you're here?

[cartrauma.livejournal.com]

Good boy! Now come here! Come here Adam!

I've thought about it but I was hoping Mister Tadakichi would have shown up by now...

[ultimaverum.livejournal.com]

[Continues to look... confused... before wandering back over]

There's still a chance... [Doesn't like her looking so sad... Cheer up, Chiyo]

[cartrauma.livejournal.com]

[YES FETCH] Good dog! Can you drop it now?

I know... But I've been here a while and he still isn't here yet. [Gives him another sad smile because MAN HER DOG. HER DOG.] But it's ok!
