Out for a walk

[angelinbloom]

So far, the recent LOL hasn't worn off. And as much as Colonel would be tempted to hide in their apartment until it does, duty must still be seen to, and that means trying to keep a watch on the Nexus.

So Iris is taking her brother for a walk. Thankfully, the Nexus does not have leash laws. The flea collar is enough of an indignity.

Jaime's mouth twitches, and then she turns her attention back to Colonel. "May I hae a word wit' ye, laddie?"

There's a headtilt and a perked ear at that. "You may."

Iris blushes slightly, feeling as if she's intruding. "I'll wait over there," she says, gesturing towards a nearby spot where she'd seen some interesting flowers.

Colonel gives her hand a nuzzle before she can go to look at the flowers. "Don't wander too far."

"I won't, brother." Iris gives him scritches and a quick hug in return before going over to the area she'd indicated. It's far enough away so that she won't overhear, but she's still well in sight of her overprotective sibling.

Jaime gives the other girl a smile of thanks, then looks down at the dog and quirks a brow at him.

It's hard to look dignified when you're fluffy, but Colonel is trying. "Well? What is it you have to say?"

[random_xtras]

She tilts her head, those wild/gentle eyes studying him warily and measuringly. "Y'ken a lad by t' name 'o Zero?"

Colonel tenses slightly at the name, and nods. "Yes, I do."

There's no real hostility in his tone. He's more concerned that things could lead to his sister being hurt than anything else.
