Cat-washing, hair-braiding. Normal Rohirric activities
So life's not so lonely in the city anymore. Dred's been coming over most nights for whatever. And I've got my cat.
'Cat'. Dagnir. He's kind of sweet, but he's terrible to wake up to.
Theo: *bored and unbraiding Dred's hair*
Dred: *going through a replay of his shift* So then we went to try to figure out who the culprit was. ...We found pawprints.
Theo: ...er, how big were these pawprints?
Dred: Dog sized or so.
Theo: oh, so Dagnir didn't do it.
Dred: Nope, Dagnir would be too smart to get caught
Theo: I'd like to think so. Also, *little hair pull* You're going to help me give him a bath. Back to your story
Dred: Am I? Okay that sounds...fun...ish. But yeah, it turned out the neighbors have a large dog. Who we found carting away the remains of the stolen pantry. All in a day's work?
Theo: At least it wasn't a warg, right?
Dred: that WOULD be bad. They're kinda cute from far away but talk about destruction
Theo: You know, I'm wondering about trying to get a proper 'house' now that I've been here long enough to qualify as a real citizen. Wait, you think wargs are cute?
Dred: If they weren't destructive and deadly.
Theo: Daggy's cuter than a warg
Dred: He does grow on you. Also, house? Have any ideas where?
Theo: well, there's those cottages...
Theo: I could have a little garden patch
Dred: That sounds cute and cozy and all. And it would probably save money in the long run if you did vegetaboles and things
Theo: I thought so. *tries out a french braid on Dred* Also, the whole living in boxes with other people is kind of weird
Dred: Yeah, it's sort of...I never know when I'm being too loud and things
Theo: There's more'n one room in the cottages, if you want to join me.
Dred: *eyelash batting* Why Theoden! I thought you would never ask! *little flail* ....Actually, yeah that would be good
Theo: good. Someone to make sure Dagnir hasn't killed and eaten me
Dred: I wonder what we'd taste like to cats...*muses*
Theo: in our case? Like a herbivore
Theo: so cow or horse
Dred: Oh that makes sense then
Theo: or mice. Sometimes I wake up to find him licking my face
Dred: I hope we're not delicious to them.
Theo: I think the two of us could take him
Dred: Probably. I mean, okay, maybe it'd be close at the end but
Theo: there. Your hair's done. And my patrol was uneventful, except for a very drunk dwarf.
Theo: he said he could take on all three of me.
Dred: Aw why do I miss the fun ones?
Theo: so Nyel helped me get him to a cell to sleep it off. And dog's are fun! They're big and floppy
Dred: this one was really mellow too.
Theo: just a thief
Dred: yeah, problematic when you think about it. We decided not to press charges THIS time
Theo: hopefully this brush with the law will lead him to mending his ways *serious voice*
Dred: Yes. Scared straight and all
Theo: did you give it a treat?
Dred: Well yeah. After we had our very serious talk
Theo: you're tough but fair
Dred: I'm good cop *nods*
Theo: I would have locked it up. Taught it a lesson
Dred: *nodding* First time offender though...could go either way, you know?
Theo: what do you think of the captain?
Dred: We haven't really interacted so much as been in the same room at the same time but so far? I approve. Does that sound weird to say. Better than my marshal was at home in fact.
Theo: he's rather handsome
Dred: You know..yeah.
Dred: Going to make a move?
Theo: I have always wanted to see if I could kill an elf with laughter.
Dred: I don't know about killing with laughter. With awkward maybe if he's more into elves
Theo: I think i'll not bother him
Dred: So instead admiring from afar? As long as you don't pine too painfully.
Theo: I don't think I know how to pine
Dred: Okay good. No risking you fading away or anything
Theo: I am not nearly so fairylike as to do that.
Theo: so you do like the cottage idea?
Dred: you just never know these days. Or I've been around elves too much lately. And yeah, I really do.
Theo: oh good. So I'll get the paperwork.
Dred: you're awesome.
Theo: remember that. Always.
And I told Dred he'd have to help me bathe Dagnir to make him less generally nasty, and I meant it.
Theo: *trying to figure out how a thirty pound cat is keeping him from putting it in a tub of water*
Dred: *standing around trying tobe helpful*
Dagnir: *somehow defying gravity and physics*
Dred: We could stick it in a pillowcase and then in the water then just apply the soap?
Dagnir: *low growly at that*
Dred: Him. I mean. Totally him.
Dred: and just an idea
Dagnir: *so distracted gving Dred threatening noises that Theo manages to dunk him* O.O
Theo: there!
Dagnir: moooow! *not scratching, though*
Dred: Goood kitty.
Theo: get the shampoo and let's clean him up
Dagnir: *betrayed look*
Dred: *grabs and brings it over* Hey, you're gonna look awesome after this
Dagnir: >:|
Theo: *works on getting it into Dagnir's fur and starts combing out the knots* Where have you BEEN, cat
Dred: And what have you been eating, poor thing
Dagnir: mow. Mow mrrooowwl mow mow. *grumps as he's scrubbed*
Theo: *curses as he breaks another tooth on the comb* hand me another Dred
Dagnir: *satisfied purr*
Dred: *passes it over* Goood kitty
Dagnir: *back to complaining with the new comb*
Theo: *finally pulls him out and turns him into a cat burrito with a towel* there, was that so bad?
Dagnir: *wiggles his head enough to bite Theo's hand very decisively*
Theo: augh!
Dred: *snickers* Sorry that was just...great timing
Theo: he's too smart for his own good. *works on drying Dagnir off, it's getting cold out and he doesn't want Dagnir to get sick*
Dagnir: *doesn't mind this part so much*
Theo: *starts the final part of the cleaning, making sure the fur IS all nice*
Theo: THERE
Dred: He's so FLUFFY
Theo: no wonder it gets all messed up, it must catch on everything. Want a haircut, Daggy? *joking*
Dagnir: *gone*
Theo: how... I can't even reach that high *looking up at a shelf where Dagnir's in hiding*
Dred: We might be able to get an ELF to find him but
Dagnir: *knocks a dustbunny at them*
Theo: he's just getting dirty again!
Dred: Noooo
Theo: *fistshake*
Dagnir: *sound of him rolling in dust*
Dred: *winnnce*
Theo: damnit. I need a drink.
Dred: Keep anything around?
Theo: tea. Glorious tea. *goes to the kettle*
