"additional defense"

[ yes. he is quotation marking that. please explain. ]

[fanstheflames]

When I'm too busy to handle a threat, he can also bite it!

[strongroots]

if he can reach it to bite
do you know how to train a dog?

[fanstheflames]

I grabbed a bunch of books!
He's pretty smart!

[strongroots]

what's he like?

[fanstheflames]

I could tell you
Oooor you could meet him for yourself

[strongroots]

okay

this better not be how you test how well he bites

[fanstheflames]

You think I'd do that to you?
Have some faith!

[strongroots]

but it's not a bad idea

your place? or the park?

[fanstheflames]

Let's meet at the park! It'd be good to let him run around.

[strongroots]

cool. ill be there

[ And indeed Robby will -- though will he be first? Of course he's going to (cheat) be smart and come on his skateboard, strolling down it with his hands in his pockets and coming to a stop at a point where he's likely to see Tsuruno coming, if he needs to wait.

There's no friend of his own joining him, but who needs more than to see.....the new good boy.

show us the new good boy. ]

[fanstheflames]

[ There he is, the new good boy! A mass of fur chilling in Tsuruno's arms as she trots towards him, shifting him to wave one arm over her head--as though Robby could not possibly see her first.

Yeah, he beat her to it. No skateboard for her. ]

Ah--Banzai, go say hi?

[ She pauses to set the mass down on the ground, and then the Pekingese is joyously shuffling towards this guy. ]

[strongroots]

[ Robby's grinning regardless of the needless wave, taking a foot off from the skateboard. The other sits on for a while, before Robby leaves it to take a few takes forward, coming soon to a crouch as- ]

Hey-- so you're the new guard dog? C'mon, c'mere...

[ Is this how you talk to dogs, is this how you encourage them to come to you. This is surely Banzai's first test: reach Robby Keene.

But Robby does look up at Tsuruno. ] So he's just been...a normal dog?

[ you know. As normal as dogs get. ]

[fanstheflames]

Completely normal! Definitely not perfect.

[ Which is normal to her!

And here he trot-shuffles until he can reach Robby and go for licking his hand with gusto, rolling over for belly rubs. Can you see his belly under all that fur? Good luck! ]

[strongroots]

[ Damn, no second heads or tentacles??? weak, city. :/

But also, damn for this dog, in an affectionate way. Look at how it approaches him and just rolls over immediately? It gets a small laugh out of Robby, who at least gives it what it wants. ... if what it wants is to be rubbed some, and then wiggled side to side considering how tiny this thing is. wiggle wiggle.

And looking up at Tsuruno-- ]

He's not looking like great guard dog material, you know.

[ What's he going to do?? Cute at his enemies into submitting?? ]

[fanstheflames]

[ The dog doesn't appear mind, tongue lolling as he's wiggled from side to side. And Tsuruno huffs a little, kneeling down beside him. ]

This is just to lower your guard.

[strongroots]

Yeah? [ Still very amused, still very much willing to try and itch the dog some more with his nails (which, really, just means rubbing his fur--little guy's got a lot of it) before retracting his hand. ] What comes next?

[ A deadly attack? ]

[fanstheflames]

Teamwork!

[ Cheerfully, lightly poking him in the side. ]

[strongroots]

[ Wow. ]

Mmmm, [ scrunching his nose as he concludes-- ] I still think you're getting eaten.

[ Sorry, Tsuruno. Even if he is grinning. ]

[fanstheflames]

Oh, come on! Now you're just being difficult!

[ It's fine. She's also grinning. ]

[strongroots]

[ Haha. ] Okay, it's fine, you won't get eaten quick.

[ Compromise--!! And ruffling the little guy's head. ]

So, uh, what happened? You pushed some buttons and this guy came out?

[fanstheflames]

Yeah, more or less. I wanted to see if it really was like that, but...

Well, here he is!

[ Bein' a dog!! ]

[strongroots]

[ Amazing. Revolutionary: the power of being a dog. ]

Weird. [ Honestly. You know. ] Mister LaRusso got one too. I thought it was some kinda 3D machine when I saw it. [ ... well. ] Not one this good.

[ Whatever you call....making a living dog. ]

[fanstheflames]

Huh? Wait, Sensei got a dog too?

[ EXCUSE??? ]

[strongroots]

Yeahhh... [ Kinda. Squinting?? But just in the way one would when their sensei accidentally creates a dog. ] He's at the diner? You wanna meet him?

[ dog meet up??? ]
