Four-legged creatures of D----ewwww, it got in my mouth!

[117 || 117]

With a soft grunt Albafica made his way down the street, not even bothering to look for the puppies he was supposed to find. Reason? The puppies were too busy finding him. Somehow one of the small fluffers he'd picked up had taken a liking to the young boy, and was now happily trotting on behind him. And while he'd been keeping an eye on it, the moment he'd looked away the little canine had suddenly doubled. And by the time he'd recovered from the rather easy-going solution life was giving him, another had appeared. It soon dawned upon the young Rune Knight that his four-legged friends were naturally flocking to him and the first puppy he'd found, so figured he could try finding the rest by taking a walk around the block before going into town with his newfound friends in tow. He wasn’t even trying at this point as six of the puppies were now happily waggling behind him, trying their best to catch his hair and nip at his ankles. Yet every time Albafica tried to stop them they only got more excited, eagerly resuming their rather endearing assault at his lack of physical length. And if that weren’t enough, the fact people did not see a Rune Knight official -or even a mage for that matter- but rather a young boy out playing with his pets, bothered him more.

Even though he had been grumbling most of the time, he couldn’t help but smile as the puppies tried to get his attention, even though at some point he found himself darting after the little critters when they started dashing after a way too smugly-meowing feline, resulting in several pit stops to retrieve the puppies that had gotten themselves stuck between crates. Just to be sure he wasn’t harming the canines he’d gone and eaten several of his poison-suppressant pills, and had picked them up, waddling onward with six wiggling furry babies tucked between his arms. He could already imagine how badly Aerowynn would be making fun of him if he knew, showing that was probably the biggest reason he wasn’t summoning his familiar to help him out. Instead he bumped the gate open of the residence that had hired him to find and retrieve their litter and let them all run free in the front yard, doing a double check of the fences or any other convenient getaway holes before leading his furry pack towards the door, finally reuniting them with their lost puppies.
