“Ah did I mention my store?” he asked, sometimes he forgot what he talked about due to the fact that he had so many different thoughts going around his head. “Yeah it’s a store filled with the things people need to star gaze and stuff”

"That's awesome," she commented with a large smile. "My grandpa used to take me out to look at the stars when I was a kid. He'd drive us out to a big empty field and we'd just lay in the grass, counting the stars," she told him, recalling the fon memories peppered with crickets chirping and the feeling of damp grass on her skin.

❝ that is true, it’s something i really shouldn’t rush into again. ❞ she admitted sheepishly. her impulsiveness had always caused her issues. pouting the dog’s way, she gave him a pat before laughing a bit. ❝ hey, that can be good sometimes, without curiosity i wouldn’t have much of a passion or career. plus he’s a cutie and seems like a total sweetheart. ❞ 

She nodded lightly with a smile. "Stuff like this, it just takes some time," she agreed. Chuckling, she nodded again. "Yeah, it's a little comforting knowing he won't overlook anything if only out of pure nosiness," she admitted, thinking of how he does house checks for her to calm the feeling that someone would slink from the shadows and her sanctuary would become compromised.

“Of course” he said and then went up to the counter and placed their orders before he paid. Once everything was finished, he turned and walked back to Reed and Drax. “Any minute now. They are usually really fast around here so you will not be hungry for long”

Waiting for him to come back, Reed pet Drac and cooed at him. Looking around, she noted the empty tables near the corners and smiled as another opened up. Straightening when he came back, she smiled at him with a nod. "So, you mentioned a store earlier?"

As he continued to look at the menu to try and find the perfect food for him today, he then smiled. “Yeah I think I am gonna settle for a burger as well” he agreed before waving her thanks away. “No need to thank me”

She nodded her agreement with a small smile. "Could we get Drax a plain burger? He's an absolute sucker for them," she asked sweetly. She knew Theodore would also become an instant favourite for Drax if he was the one to give him the burger but the man was nice enough that she didn't mind.

“Ah well that makes sense. Better to stay safe than to regret it later on” Theo said and nodded with a dorky smile on his lips. Once they had entered, he walked after them and hummed. “So what are you two craving? I’ll pay for it” he shrugged and looked at the menu.

She nodded in agreement before looking over the menu. "I'm not quite sure," she replied honestly. "Does this place have burgers?" she asked, searching for it. She knew it plain burgers were a big favourite for Drax and she wouldn't mind one herself. "Thank you, that's very kind."

Laughing softly as he looked at the other and then at her dog, he sighed. “It would have been a rather sad sight to see him either run off or attack another dog. So good call” he said and nodded, giving her a thumbs up before he saw the place. Walking to the door, he opened it for Reed. “I have to open the door for Drax. He is my date for the day after all” he joked.

"More like I don't trust other dogs as much. It's easier to pull them apart in case if you have them both on leashes," she replied with a shrug. Smiling, she laughed lightly. "Well, despite it being for him only, Drax and I thank you," she told him gratefully as she stepped in and waited for the other to join her.

❝ well, it’s impressive, i was a nightmare in that setting. granted i was like seventeen at the time but i doubt a decade has changed that much. ❞ she mused, shrugging. she’d learned her limits but that was about it. ❝ okay, my days are usually spent catching up on sleep but i’m sure i could pop in one day. ❞ she did get the occasional days off and that sounded like an alright way to spend a day. shooting the dog a quick grin, she glanced back at her. ❝ i will admit that i have always loved them too. who wouldn’t want a real-life scooby doo ?? ❞

She chuckled again. "I do try," she joked lightly. Her joking was rarer those days, so it came out a little drier than she would have liked. "Yeah, whenever you have the time. There's no rush at all," she smiled. "Oh yeah. This one's a real curious dude, too," she told her with a grin.

“I wish I had more time on my hands so that I could take care of a dog” he said and nodded before he sighed. “But I own this store and I don’t really have time to walk around with a dog and stuff” he added before he smiled once he saw the place in question. “Oh my friend owns this place and it’s this animal café and diner. So it’s chill bringing in cats and dogs”

"That sucks," she sympathized. "That's pretty awesome. I always love when places are animal-friendly." She gave Drax a small pat before turning to the other suddenly. "Oh, hold up a second." She stopped to dig out Drax's leash from her pocket, clipping it to his collar. "You never know when it comes to other dogs." She patted him again before beginning to walk once more.

He couldn’t help the giggle that left him when he heard the bark. He scratched him behind his ear before walking towards one of the diner’s where they could eat without causing any discomfort. Humming on a song while they walked, he then looked at Reed and her dog again. “He is so cute. I can’t stop looking”

Uncrossing her legs, she stood and scooped up her bag before following. Drax followed between them without prompting. Smiling at the other, she chuckled. "Yeah, he's alright," she joked as if she didn't consider her dog to be utterly adorable, even when he drooled everywhere. "So, Theodore, where are we headed?"

[reed-bennet]

ofcaliginous:

❝ it’s alright. definitely more exciting than bartending, have to say. ❞ she scoffed softly. she didn’t mind it but it certainly wasn’t her passion or job of choice. ❝ ooh, i don’t know, me in those kind of places doesn’t usually end well. i used to work at a pet store back home as a teen and i brought a couple dogs home with me one day. i got in a lot of trouble for that, ❞ she admitted, laughing. ❝ but i guess i could try. ❞ she was a little more careful with her money these days. ❝ i can’t say i really dislike any dog breed but that does sound more ideal since i’m supposed to be mellowing out some myself, so yeah. ❞

She gave a noncommittal shrug but chuckled at the other's confession. "Honestly, it gets close sometimes," she agreed. "Well, we're usually open all day." Part of that was because she disliked going back to the silence of her home where it was just Drax and her. "Great Danes are also pretty well mannered but they tend to be a little big for most people," she told the other, giving Drax a pat.

“Ah well I can take that seat, then. I don’t want anyone uncomfortable” he chuckled and nudged her before he looked at the dog. “Hey pupper, we are gonna eat some delicious food. Would you like to be my plus one?” he asked and tilted his head to the side.

"Thank you," she tells him, relief evident in her tone. She couldn't help but tense up slightly at the nudge, unused to much human contact anymore. She chuckled at the invitation to the dog and again when Drax barked softly at the tilt that was the question. The bark was still loud enough to make her jump slightly but knowing where it came from settled her quickly and easily.

❝ well, archaeological sites are the technical term, i call them dig sites, old habit. ❞ she explained with a shrug. she’d called them that since she was a kid, for some reason. ❝ it was, but i know how difficult it can be moving around all the time and yeah, i knew my friend would provide for him better than i could. ❞ plus her friend had kids to keep him company, laura had to remind herself of that often. ❝ you too, reed, and thanks. ❞ she hadn’t quite made up her mind but if she did decide to get a dog, she would definitely check the shelter first. ❝ he did have an excellent temperment. i think i’d try another if i do decide to, ❞ she nodded. 

"Oh, cool," she commented. "No problem," she told her lightly. "You can always come check us out, either way, no commitment required to look." She was always glad to pair a dog and a good home. "They tend to be pretty well mannered, thankfully. I always appreciate a nice and calm breed like them."

“He was really cute in the second one and he made me cry in the first one quite a lot.”

"Yeah, same," she agreed with a nod before looking at her phone and cursing. "Shit, we gotta run," she told the other girl with a small sigh. "My lunch break is about to be over. It was really nice meeting you, though.." she dropped off, never having caught the other's name.

❝ yeah, i hated giving him away but i quickly learned that dig sites aren’t the best place for dogs and my friend has kids so it was a good fit for him, he’s happy there. i’ll need something to keep me busy since i can’t work my usual job, so hopefully, it’ll actually work out this time if i do. ❞ she nodded, standing back up to stretch. she must’ve been sitting there reading longer than she thought. noticing the card she took it and quickly read over it before sliding it into her pocket. ❝ reed, huh ?? i’m laura. ❞ giving the dog once last pat on the head, she smiled at her. ❝ oh, wow, that can’t be comfortable. uh, golden retriever, a total sweetheart, but very hyper. ❞ she chuckled.

"Dig sites?" she asked confused. "Well, it's a good thing he got a good home. I can only imagine how difficult that must have been." She couldn't even stand the idea of having to give Drax away, even if it was for his own good. "Nice to meet you, Laura. Yeah, he's not the lightest puppy." She nodded with a chuckle. "I love goldies," she commented. "They're always such happy little things."
