Who Let The Dogs Out?

Curlzie had never been outside the Victor's Village. Millie should've thought about that before she took him and Marlo downtown for a "walk." Now, it was more like a run.
"Curlzie! Curlzie come back!" she called, chasing after the dog with Marlo trotting by her side. The girl hadn't thought to put a leash on them, considering they always stuck so close. Well, Marlo did. Curlzie, on the other hand, was dashing about, sniffing everything and chasing everyone. Most people ignored him, but a few yelled at the dog, sending him on his way with flat ears. By the time Millie and Marlo caught up, he'd found a particularly interesting subject to bother. A boy, obviously a few years older than Millie, had been practically cornered by the dog, who was jumping about, either trying to get petted, or to lick the poor guy's face. "Curlzie, stop that!" she snapped, but the dog didn't listen. Marlo hung his head, probably embarrassed. "Ugh, come 'ere," Millie got close enough to grab the dog by the collar and pull him away. "Sorry Mister," she said, looking up at him when she had control over the dog, "It's his first time around people, so." She shrugged; it wasn't really that big a deal, was it?

Callum clutched onto his little bag of money, just selling off the last of the silk that had been rejected by the factories. Somehow he's always the one being made to sell them because his grandma said that "he'll easily make more money with the ladies". He packed up and continued along the Upper District. With the extra cash, he could get a little something for his sister and the family. While he was looking around at the stores, he heard a bark. And then a couple more barks, louder and closer. Callum turned his head to see a dog dashing right at him. He stumbled backwards to get away, tripping over his own feet and fell as the energetic dog jumped around him. "H-Hi there.. Nice to meet you too." he greeted, trying to get up. But soon enough the weight and the slobbering got off and Callum looked up to see a young girl hold back its collar. "Oh thank you. I'm fine, no worries. I'm sure it was an exciting trip for him at least." he dismissed with a wave of his hand and got up, walking over to the bag of money he dropped. "Is your dog okay though? He looked like he was running around and banging into stuff," he asked out of concern, bending down to give the now calmer dog a scratch behind his ears.

Millie smiled when the boy called Curlzie's trip 'exciting'. "Guess you could say that. But everything's exciting for Curlzie here," she said, giving him a pat with her free hand. She glanced at Marlo, who was sitting off to the side, seemingly bored. Well, the opposite was true for him. Millie only just barely heard the boy ask if her dog was okay, and her eyes widened. Curlzie was squirming just like normal, perfectly fine, so Millie didn't really have anything to worry about. She checked anyway, though. "He's fine. He bounces into everything back home," she laughed, turning to look back at the boy who was now scratching the dog's ears. Curlzie seemed to be enjoying that quite a bit. Since he was preoccupied, Millie figured it would be okay to let his collar go now. She stood up then, keeping an eye on the dog at her feet, but he seemed perfectly content. "Well, this is Curlzie, and I'm Millie," she said to the boy, "Sorry 'bout him, again."

Callum smiled as he saw Curlzie wag his tail gleefully. "Hey there Curlzie," he mumbled to the dog before letting it go, standing up together with Millie. "Oh um, I'm Callum. And it's really no problem. No damage done." He dusted his pants off as he looked around. He didn't think that he saw Millie before, even though he usually come by the Upper District. He tucked the bag of money in his pocket as he asked, "You don't bring them out often?" Well, duh, in District 8 there weren't many pets that were very... welcomed. With precious cloth and silk everywhere, the people's worst nightmare here is having some dog and cat chew them all up. He noticed the dog by her side, lazing on the ground. "And what's this fella's name?" Callum bent down once again this time towards the other dog that seemed like the polar opposite of Curlzie.

"Not all the way out here, usually," Millie sighed. Maybe she should've listened to Damen on that. Oh well. "They get walked back by the house though. I'm not keepin' them locked up or anything," her words carried off into a laugh. Curlzie whined and Millie realized that Callum's attention had turned to the other dog. Curlzie had always been the jealous type. "That's Marlo. He only likes his ears scratched, no where else," Millie grinned as she talked about the other dog, "He's a funny one."

Callum smiled sheepishly, feeling dumb for asking that stupid question. He carefully scratched Marlo by his ears, "Nice to meet you too." He heard a whine coming from the other side and he chuckled to the dog giving him those doe eyes. Callum gave Curlzie one last pat before getting up, "I should really get going, gotta buy a couple of stuff and then get back to work.." He dug his hands in his pockets as he rocked on his heels, once in a while glancing to look at Millie in the eye. "If.. you ever need any help, just look for me. I should be around here somewhere." He made sure the dogs were okay and that he didn't forget anything before he set off, "See you around, have fun walking them out." He gave a faint smile as he waved goodbye and went ahead, occasionally turning back just to make sure Millie didn't let lose of her dogs again.
