"he's right Flynn" Nadia smiled "Beside , it's not like I ever cared about how you look." she chuckled , then realized how wrong that sounded
"oh wait erm , no , it's not how it sounds . I mean I'm not the kind to care about the outside look , what I care about is in here ." she said , putting her paw on Flynn's chest "Me , Kilo , everyone , we like you because of how you are , not how you look . So yeah , it's fine , you're neither ugly , nor broken , why "broken" anyway ? You're not a thing , you're a living being you know . You're great the way you are ."

Sometimes..
I'm kinda new at playing with other pets..
In fact i'm still going to skool to be learned how to be a pet n' all.

Civilization wrote:Dexter smiled to himself at the two little one's reaction to getting in trouble, as Miss Cleo came back in he took another sip of milk, "Do they cause a lot of trouble like that?"

Not usually..
I think being allowed out with the other pets is having a bad effect upon Oreo.

"Not that hi," Leslie admitted, "but I hav jumpered off a lotta fings..." He tailed off as he heard Oreo talk of school. "Wunder if I cud go," he mused aloud, edging toward Felicity...

I suppose you could go..
They teach you to heel, sit, come, walk on a leash. no jumpings.
You learns to speak numbers, and count words!

"I cud dew wiv lerning wurds," Leslie said, seemingly contemplatively, before tagging Felicity and legging it around the bushes as fast as his legs could carry him whilst he laughed.

"A game I played as a puppy with my brother and sisters and some of their friends."

Flukely rummaged through his pockets, pulling out a deflated beach ball. After blowing it up, Flukely turned to his friends.

"It's called parachute volleyball! There are two teams and each team has to try and knock the ball passed the other team. We all hold a side of the parachute and shake it to play. Sound like fun?"

"My dad could teach you, he's good teaching." Felicity would have continued but forgot to keep an eye on Leslie, "Hey!" She tagged Oreo and ran off to the safety of behind the doghouse.

Dexter turned to Ms. Cleo, "Really, what bad habits are they teaching him?"

"You already know why "broken"... This... It really doesn't bother you? There was one cat back home that said it was repulsive. And I got all kinds of strange looks from humans and other pets until I started wearing the collar to hide it..." Flynn buckles the collar back on as he talks.

"Sounds like fun!" agrees Piper. "I've seen kids doing that before but never had the opportunity to try myself... Are you thinking of turning this into a parachute?" she queries, gesturing to the balloon.

"Flynn....." Nadia muttered , giving the rabbit a gentle yet somewhat saddened smile .
"Here" she said a moment later , taking off her collar and showed Flynn the left side of her neck , where a rather noticeable tattoo , shaped like a pair of wings made out of swords , six on the left , six on the right , with a spear down in the middle of them , though they all seemed to be depicted as broken .
"I've told you about how I was the runt of my litter , right ? This is the mark of that fact , the mark placed upon those who are too weak to even defend for themselves , in a land where strength is the decisive factor . Those like me , we were ridiculed , disgusted by the rest , treated with such belittlement that led us to believe that we were less than a broken blade , useless , unworthy of even a name . For quite a while , I believed in that as well , and trust me, when even yourself accepted that , the looks everyone else gives you is nothing less but "strange look" , as you describe it , so yeah I sorta know what you meant" Nadia giggled as if she just made a joke , but that only lasted for a moment before she went on .
"So I guess in a way , from each of our perspective , we both have something to be embarrassed about huh ? But like I said Flynn , no something like that doesn't bother me at all , you can have the most beautiful , charming , perfect body in the world , with no scars or wounds what so ever , and I would still kick you tail if you're a jerk , because I don't care how anyone looks .
But still , there is a difference between my mark and your scar Flynn . That scar ? It's more than just something to be embarrassed about because of how it looks . That cat who told you that your scar is repulsive ? I guess he or she had a point , no one would ever want such a wound to be inflicted upon them , because most of us wouldn't survive through that , a few who do would most likely be plagued with that nightmare for the rest of their lives . Except you Flynn , you made it through .
Remember that day we met in the library ? Yeah I can sense your fear Flynn , but it didn't last long , and that's what makes it even more amazing . Even in my land , where strength reign supreme , Flynn , how much more strength of the body do you think could one proves beyond surviving such a fatal wound ? How much strength of the mind could one proves beyond facing another one of those creatures who caused that wound without running away for cowered in fear . And how much strength of one's heart could possibly be proven beyond not letting such betrayal change you , then making friend with not just one , but 2 foxes , even go so far as to , well , open your heart to one ?" As she went on , Nadia's smile became lighter , becoming more and more that of proud than that of sadness "I didn't manage to do any of those Flynn , yet you did , all three , and that scar ? It's simply a mark that said "yeah , I did that , I survived it , and it was nothing" . You did it Flynn , you're not broken , or ugly , you're beautiful , just as your mind and your heart , and you're strong , even stronger than I am , so if anything , I think you should be proud of that . But you know....." she ended with a joking shrug "that's just me"

Oreo Eeps! and chases off after the fleaing ferret female, trying to tag her back on her long fluffy tale!

Civilization wrote:Dexter turned to Ms. Cleo, "Really, what bad habits are they teaching him?"

It's more, getting him into dangerous adventures, that he is not old enough to be facing..
both of those two out there got hurt, along with a few other pets. Exploring some old tunnel system under the town.
I'm told Oreo was caught in a snare, someone set in one of the tunnels.

Leslie poked his head up from behind the bushes and laughed before ducking back down.

Flukely looks between her and the balloon tarp once.

"Yes."

Flukely laid the balloon out and jumped in the middle, flattening it enough to work for the game. Standing up and regaining his balance, Flukely threw the ball into the center.

"Teams?"

Felicity ran as hard as she could, she felt a paw swipe her tail. She turned around, "Hey!" She had noticed Leslie in the bushes and ran over to them hoping he would run out.

Dexter looked at the quarter full cup of milk, he took one long sip finishing off the rest of the milk. "Oh, well, I can keep an eye on him for you, if you ever want the help of course."

Oreo looks around, and then dashes into the dog house, as the ferret scampers off after the hidden crouching kitten in the bush.

That would be great.
We have the Tagg tracking system on his collar.
but it only shows where he is, not what he is getting into..

Whooping with laughter, Leslie sped off at about half his normal speed. He still ran around Miss Cleo, saying 'hello, miz Cleo,' as he went, puffing a bit.

Post by **Hlaoroo** » Wed May 20, 2015 9:52 am

Flynn nods slowly, a grateful smile spreading slowly over his face.
"I survived... I never thought of it like that... Thanks!" He hugs the vixen warmly, stretching his head up slightly so he can rest his chin on her shoulder.
"Really. Thanks." he murmurs in her ear, letting the moment linger as her heart thuds against his as he inhales her heady scent.

Welsh Halfwit wrote:"You have nothing <koff>to hide from us," Kilo told Flynn, "and nothing to <koff>fear either. We can remain silent if that is your <koff>wish, young brother Flynn.

Flynn is suddenly reminded of the presence of the mouse as his small voice cuts through the moment. Releasing the vixen he steps back but takes her paw in his.
"No, you're right. Nadia's right. This isn't a mark of shame. It's a testament to my strength. I should be proud of it." Flynn pauses and tilts his head, peering curiously at the mouse.
"Are you faking that cough? No one that's really sick coughs with that regularity or consistency... But... Then..." Flynn suddenly finds himself grinning broadly as the pieces drop into place.
"You're a slyer fox than Nadia!" he chuckles, offering the tiny creature his paw for a shake. "Thanks. I owe you. We both do."

"First in best dressed?" Piper suggests, grabbing a corner of the fabric. "Who's playing?"

Felicity bolted as fast as she could after Leslie, chasing him around Miss Cleo, she was puffing a lot more and slowed down and slouched over to catch her breath. The best she could do now was look around at the yard again, watching Leslie run off and try to find Oreo.

Dexter watched as Leslie ran around Miss Cleo with Felicity following shortly behind, "Don't they just have a lot of energy." He looked back at Miss Cleo, "Really, a TAGG tracking collar, does he get out into the world that often?"

Welsh Halfwit · Post by **Welsh Halfwit** » Wed May 20, 2015 3:58 pm

"Well," Kilo admitted, shaking the offered handpaw, "maybe it's <koff> a bit overdone."

In return , Nadia gently hugged Flynn , letting him feel her quickened heartbeat , not that quicker than normal , just a little bit , out of joy. SHe loved that moment , it was so calming , his fur , his embrace, they were so gentle.......well , that didn't last long , since Flynn remembered that Kilo was still around moments later and let go
"heh , yeah" Nadia said "he managed to trick us both"

Oreo ducks down so he is'n seen in the dog house from the windows..

Not really, he is still just learning how to be a pet.
not a wild animal.

Welsh Halfwit · Post by **Welsh Halfwit** » Thu May 21, 2015 4:10 am

Leslie stopped for a moment. He couldn't see Oreo but he couldn't hear himself being chased either. He trotted back close to Felicity and puffed a bit. "Yew alrite, he asked.

Civilization · Post by **Civilization** » Thu May 21, 2015 10:05 am

Felicity remained bent over catching her breath, "Yeah, I'm fine." She was still huffing and puffing, she reached out and tapped Leslie, "Tag." She didn't try to run away, she still was catching her breath but was having too much fun to stop playing outright.

Dexter moved the empty cup from paw to paw as he watched the little ones play tag, "Can I ask, what made you want Oreo as a pet in the first place?"

Oreo comes out of the dog house, to rejoin the pair, after they had worn themselves out..
So what do you all want to try now?

I didn't.. truth be told..
It was my finance who picked him up from from along side of some railroad tracks, before we ever met.

"Well, I think he can socialise when he wants to. He just needs that bit of confidence. He's been through a lot too. Let's go see how everyone is doing." Taking Nadia's paw, the rabbit heads for the front door again.
"Thanks again, guys." he says for a final time before opening the door and stepping out into the sunlight, paw in paw with Nadia.
"Hey, guys. What's up?" he calls to the group of pets by the balloon.
