week 4; monday

[harrow is on the station, at the dog park. she's not really a dog person, so it's unclear why she came here, but she's sitting on the ground in the park. occasionally a dog will come up to her and she'll try to shoo them away.]

[agleam]

[he gasps a little when he sees this, deeply affronted.]

Harrow! Look how nice they're being, you should at least try to pet them or something!

[outsidebones]

They're unhygienic.

[please vote harrow out this week.]

[agleam]

[gasps louder]

Then wash your hands after! Look how cute they are!

[she's getting puppy eyes from multiple sources now.]

[outsidebones]

They're just beasts.

[she's immune.]

The only good animal is Frumpkin.

[agleam]

[gasps for a final time]

Come with me, you need to meet Porridge immediately.

[holding out a hand to her!]

[outsidebones]

[wrinkling her nose.]

Porridge?

[but she'll take the hand.]

[agleam]

My dragon!

[gently tugging her along towards where porridge is playing with a dog somewhere.]

[outsidebones]

Oh. I assume a dragon is cleaner than a dog...

[valid. she's dragged!]

[agleam]

Yeah, definitely!

[he actually has no idea, but anyways! he picks up his dog sized dragon once they reach him, offering him out to harrow.]

You can pet him or hold him, up to you! He'll like either option, he's really friendly.

[true to his word, porridge is watching her curiously, tail wagging.]

[outsidebones]

[she seems very nervous about interacting with this animal, but not because it's a dragon. she doesn't take him from rupert's arms, but she reaches out and pat pats him on the snout.]

Hello, Porridge.

[agleam]

[his tail wags faster and he nudges her hand with his head, demanding pets as is his right.]

See, he likes you!

[outsidebones]

Oh. Does he?

[pat...pat. she is a bit wary of the nudges.]

[agleam]

Yeah! Look how excited he is, his tail is wagging.

[he's basically a scaly dog.]

You sure you don't want to hold him? He doesn't bite.

[outsidebones]

[that's the problem she doesn't understand dogs. but she nods.]

Um. Yes, alright. I'll hold him.

[she will try to take him and pick him up.]

[agleam]

[i'm very sorry but he's trying to lick her as he's lifted.]

Porridge, no!

[outsidebones]

[...handing him back.]

[agleam]

[fair and valid. he takes him back, looking a little sheepish.]

Sorry, he's usually very well behaved...

[is he!!]

[outsidebones]

[it's so not valid imagine rping a character who doesn't like cute animals.]

It's fine. Maus is well behaved too, but he still licks. I suspect it is just an animal behaviour. Though Frumpkin has never licked me.

[agleam]

Frumpkin is a very good cat, I'll give you that.

[with a tilt of his head, though:]

Who's Maus?

[outsidebones]

He is. [but she'll give Porridge another light pat.] Maus is Miles Edgeworth's dog. He is quite well trained, but nonetheless.

[agleam]

...His dog is named Maus?

[amused]

[outsidebones]

Yes? Is that an odd name?

[agleam]

Oh, no, just - it sounds kind of like mouse, so I was surprised.
