[near the duck pond, amidst the piles of leaves, is a half grown husky. He's jumping in and out of the leaves and happily tearing about while his owner follows at a more sedate pace.

And then, he spots the small flock of ducks resting on land. There's a loud bark and he's running towards them at a breakneck pace. Startled quacks fill the air and most of them (quickly) waddle towards the relative safety of the pond, wings flapping in surprise. By luck or by skill (probably the former), he manages to separate one rather irate duck from the flock and starts driving it away from the pond.

She's amused for about half a second before the squawking duck takes to the air and flaps directly towards her head. Instinctively throwing her arms up over her face with a yelp, she suddenly feels a weight land on her head. The duck manages to get in a few admonishing quacks before the dog barrels straight into the girl in an attempt to catch it.

Another yelp as she topples over. The duck flies away and she manages to grab the dog's collar before the idiot decides to throw himself into the duck pond.]

Dammit, Blitz! I swear, there better not be feathers in my hair. [she grumbles, but she starts scratching his ears with a small smile] Stupid mutt.

[Happy bark!]

[[ooc: open in person or over the journal (that conveniently opened as she fell over)!]]

[as she's recovering from the craziness, Ray's coming out the castle doors with his new sheepdog-mutt on his leash. at the sight of the duck blur, Blue barks happily and tugs at the leash pretty heavily for an older dog]

Whoa, hey, easy there, buddy! You're not catchin' any either, 'less you're hidin' wings under all that fur.

[he reins the dog in, then calls out to Natsuki] Hey, you okay?

<3 :3

[she turns at the voice, keeping a tight grip on the collar as Blitz suddenly notices the other dog]

I think I'll live. [hiding a smile, she digs out his leash from a pocket and clips it onto the collar before she finally gets onto her feet.

Blitz is already straining towards the other dog, tail wagging enthusiastically.]

Well, that's good! Sheez, I never saw a duck land on somebody's head before. ... I'm Ray, nice to meetcha.

[and the sheepdog will get as close as the leash allows, woofing happily. it's an atmosphere of OMG HI NEW FRIEND all over] … And this is Blue.

[sexyhitchhiker.livejournal.com]

[dryly] I must be extremely lucky.

[coiling the leash around her hand, she finally takes a few steps closer. There's an excited bark as the husky starts sniffing at the other dog.]

I'm Natsuki. And this is Blitz.

[ectobabble.livejournal.com]

He's beautiful! I've always liked huskies. [he smiles, as Blue and Blitz say hi] Did you get him at the shelter, too?

[demontobeloved.livejournal.com]

Got some dog problems there?

[Cole's just nonchalantly leaning against a nearby tree. He wasn't there a second ago...]

((If there's no trees, forgive my newbishness. He's just there))

[sexyhitchhiker.livejournal.com]

[not particularly fazed. Maybe she just missed this guy?]

Yeah, he's an idiot. [the dog gives a happy bark and tries to surge forward to say hi to Cole. That just tightens her grip on his collar, however.] Whoa, there!

[demontobeloved.livejournal.com]

[Cole smirks and walks over] May I? [He asks, obviously meaning to pet the dog, holding out his hand for the resulting sniff'n'slobber.]

[sexyhitchhiker.livejournal.com]

Don't say I didn't warn you.

[there's a hint of a smile and then the dog is released. She finally gets up, running a hand through her hair, just in time to see the dog give Cole's hand a cursory sniff before jumping up and trying to give his face a big lick.]

[If Natsuki listens, though, it seems like the ducks aren't done flipping tables quite yet. There's a little nightfury chasing them around, although it's far too slow to actually catch any of them. When they cross the pond, he steps in as if to follow, but quickly pulls away from the cold water before sitting and watching the ducks with a sort of yearning.

What do?]

[sexyhitchhiker.livejournal.com]

[she just stares at the ridiculously cute thing for a moment even as her dog is straining at his collar so he can go say hi to the new thing. Another moment and she's clipping a leash onto his collar.

Coiling the leash around her hand, she takes a step towards bb!nightfury while keeping her dog in check.]

...Hey there.

[tiny-fury.livejournal.com]

[He perks up at the noise, head turning towards the girl. His eyes drop down towards the dog, and he in turn stands up, a soft rumbling coming from him as he comes forward fearlessly to sniff at the animal.]

[sexyhitchhiker.livejournal.com]

[the dog sniffs too, albeit a lot less politely than the dragon. And then, apparently satisfied, he gives the other creature a big lick!

Natsuki hangs back, examining Toothless and moving smoothly into a crouching position.]
