What clothing thing?

[ ..............................sinking feeling that she's not sure how to check up on

someone does not know how to find messages sent

that someone is annie ]

He's stealing my things and hiding them in the couch.

Maybe he wants you to be on the couch with him.

So he's storing my undergarments in the couch because he wants quality couch time.

Quality couch time or, perhaps, attention in general. And since you're not giving it to him, he's doing everything he can to find a way to get it. It's a negative tactic, but effective. Would you like to break him of it?

[ so smug mr will graham ]

Yes, I would. I'm not ignoring him... he's only been here since last night.

[He knows his dogs, all right?]

Put the dog outside, if you can. Otherwise, lock him in a bathroom or something similar. Fetch your clothes from the couch and put them back exactly where he found them. Same drawer. You may want to put them in plastic bags, too. Use a protective sheet, like wax paper, and cover the clothes with it. Get a citrus, like an orange or a lemon, and cut it up into thin slices. Scatter them on top of the sheet, because dogs do not cope well with too much citrus scent. If you used 3 lemons, there would be a better of chance of it getting through his skull. You could also add a mixture of ground and cayenne pepper underneath the citrus slices. Cayenne pepper is actually good for them in some regards, but they don't appreciate it like this. Let him back in and act like nothing is out of the norm. Do not do anything off that you haven't done. Wait for the barking and look of betrayal.

Is this an elaborate way of pranking a dog with lemons and pepper?

[ just asking, because she'd be willing to do all of that (what the fuck is wax paper other than the name on the tin) but she wants to be sure this achieves more than barking and looks of betrayal

particularly as she is really unfond of looks of betrayal, even from puppies over being thwarted from stealing her underthings ]

You could call it that, even though it works for what your goals are. Finding lemons and pepper in a spot that used to be, in his mind, completely fair game, is a deterrent. He'll realize that you don't want him in your clothes. If you have them in two or three drawers, it might be a good idea to do it in all of them. And then he'll avoid them and thus the idea of stealing clothes and stuffing them in couches seems less fun.

Okay. I'll head to the store in that case.

[ training like this is a very strange thing, but she can get an idea of the logic within it, when he's explaining this way. ]

You may also want to pick up some vinegar and biodegradable coffee filters. Those will come in handy if he continues to terrorize other features in the house. Let me know if you have any other questions.

Where should I have him sleeping?

[Will's room tbh]

Where does he usually sleep?

I'm not sure. He lives with Thundercracker. Probably on a dog bed in a warehouse. I let him sleep on the bed last night, he was tired.

Yep.

[He's right there, at least; what a soldier is, what a warrior is, has changed a lot over the years but Kara still tends to be drawn towards them, can still pick them out in a crowd if she needs to.]

And I've just got used to 'em, spent most of my life around soldiers.

[Before she started working for the Council.]

Will? Would you be able to watch Rex while I'm in classes?

[ Not even bothering to mind the fact she comes at the beckoning of Will and his dog; she was there because she wants to give Will a gift that's not very gift-like, to most people. Bringing home spoils of ... what, exactly?

She reached over the counter, patting Gunther's head, enduring the wild happiness of his tongue. ]

I'm fine, thank you.

[ A half assed answer. Annie's attention flicks over to Will, her free hand dropping down to her kangaroo pocket. They're mostly new. Pockets weren't part of her at-home wear, not on her hoodies. She doesn't mind the addition. ]

I have something for you.

If you weren't given specific instructions and are comfortable with him on the bed, let him sleep on the bed. And sure thing. I'll take care of him whenever you need.

The bed it is.

Thank you. I'll bring him by before school - when are you at the shop?

I'm usually here around 6 in the morning, even if I don't open til later. That should work for dropping off before school, shouldn't it?

[doge

he'd be there at 3 for doge]

Yes, it does. Shinjiro might come with me, depending on how much time we have. Thank you again.

I'll see you tomorrow.

[ yes, yes you will. Will. ]

[If Annie says she's fine, he'll take it. Not because he's lazy, doesn't want to move from place, but because Will knows that when someone says I'm fine, doing anything to suggest otherwise or hint at how they could be more than fine isn't exactly welcome. If some sort of game was afoot, he might have insisted on a drink, on a seat, but Will was tired of games and couldn't be bothered to start new ones when they weren't necessary. Cat versus cat with the Leonhart in the room wasn't the same as cat versus cat with the lion he didn't know in the room.

He looks at Gunther, tail hitting Will's leg as he greets her in his dumb, doggy way, shifting on his back legs and generally being noisy for it. It's not until he starts getting his claws on the magazine that Will picks it up and tosses it to the other side, finally narrowing his eyes at the pocket she reaches into. For his part, his so frequently plaid-covered part? Will quite likes the hoodie.]

Not gonna pull a sleeping puppy outta there, are you?

[It's a joke. He has no idea what it is where his finger's pointing, but as long as it's not a location of a mutilated, displayed body he needs to go back to work for or a body part from one, well...he's pretty much fine with just about anything.]

Hello! It's Sasha.

Can I ask you something about jobs when you're available?

[ She takes it as a joke, given how ridiculous the mental image is. Annie shakes her head. ]

Something that small still needs regular care. I've seen them that little... with their mothers.

[ Though he's not wrong to believe that should Annie find a too young pup on its own, she'd bring it to Will, hoping Will would be able to handle it better than the shelters, even. What is faith, but not in dogs and baiting?

Her hand is closed around something she keeps hidden in her palm, showing him the top of her hand as she reaches out, hovering her hand over the surface of the counter. Gunther is a consideration she makes, moving her hand after a split second. Her fingers uncurl against the countertop, making for a muffled transfer of object from hand to counter. When she pulls her hand away, there's a motley collection of shark teeth resting on the countertop.

White teeth, but that doesn't mean fresh. Not on its own. ]

[He's available pretty quickly. Sasha's asking, it can't be anything for him to work towards avoiding, can it?]

What do you need to know?

[She can ask him all the things, from the sound of that question.]
