time goes on [juniper]

[Morrison]

Pawsteps caused his head to lift away from his own and up towards the stranger who wandered over. Their words rang true in his head, but that was nothing he couldn't handle... or so he thought? Hell, he couldn't even breathe underwater properly the other day. Maybe it was time to take things slower. Lost in thought for a moment, he merely offered a simple nod of his head. "No, no, I think yer right," came his accented voice. "The water's my element, but perhaps an old man needs a break, mate..." Neglecting his health was no good if he wanted to retire peacefully.

Raising to his feet, the slick furred dog shook out his pelt and straightened out, cracking his back in the process. With a cocky smile, he continued on his long-winded spiel. "Mmm, I don't see any cats or dogs besides you though, hon," he joked back. "Any more of ya around here? I'd like to see more of ya." His maw pulled further back into a toothy smile, showing off yellowed teeth for the other to see. Maybe he was just being nice, maybe he was flirting. Only he could know... but it was usually the ladder. Morrison had a knack for being a man of many words and lending a few compliments out to those who needed it.
