“I’m sorry in advance if you don’t like dogs!” was the only warning given before the three pitbulls got away from him, excited by this new person within their immediate vicinity.

“Sorry! Sorry, they’re-They think you want to play!” He tried to grab the leashes, to corral the three. 

“Lock! Shock! Barrel! C’mon, leave them alone!” He didn’t even have any treats left to bribe them with, relying on sheer force of will.

“Hey sweetheart, what can I get ya?” Her smile is as bright as the happy yellow stickers adorning her name tag. “The Moonlight Chai is our special right now; goes great with those blueberry muffins over there. Or d’you wanna stick with the regular?” Norma does her best to remember the orders of every frequent constemor she’s served, and they’re no exception.

For someone who’d been alive for so long, you’d think they’d have better experience with children. But there Shiloh stood, Esther balanced on their hip, staring up at the small ferris wheel that had been erected for the festival. “Is that...safe for a nine month old?” they asked no one in particular. They weren’t even sure if she’d enjoyed it, but if it wasn’t safe for babies, they sure as hell weren’t letting their daughter anywhere near it.

“Pick your poison. This one’s on me.”

“Woah! This is-Woah!” Although he was in human form, it was nearly possible to see Murphy’s tail wagging, obviously excited by the fair and everything it had to offer. 

He didn’t know where to go first, flitting around from booth to booth and trying to take everything in all at once. Turning too quickly, he ran smack into someone, too big to be knocked to the ground but nearly knocking them to the ground, if not for a quick steadying hand.

“Fuck, ‘m sorry! I almost took your head off!”

The restaurant had been especially busy that day. As such, she had been on her feet constantly for the past few hours. In between waiting tables and cleaning up, there was no time for her to take a break or even eat for herself. She never complained about busy days though, because they always seemed to go by really quickly. When everything started to wind down though, and the usual dinner rush had passed, she noticed a lone patron sitting at the booth in the back corner. Quickly, she pulled out her notepad and pen from her apron and approached with her usual, but sincere friendly tone. “Hello there. What can I get for you?”

Although he’d much rather be inside the botanical gardens than advertising them, it was part of the job. Standing in the hot sun and handing out flyers. At least there were plenty of people to watch. Clay had always loved seeing the variety the world had to offer, especially in a place like Friday Harbour. He smiled at one of them, holding out a flyer. “Free visit to the Botanical Gardens?” he suggested. “You look like you could use a fun, relaxing afternoon enjoying nature.”

"This is fine. This is fine.” She told herself with labored breath as she bunched her cardigan up and held it against the profusely bleeding wound. Alice had almost forgotten what the sensation of bleeding and being hurt felt like, and she would have, if not for the ambitious hunter that felt like attacking her. “This...this isn’t fine...” For the first time in a long, long while, she felt like she could very well die from this.
