"Really? What's it like there? I've only been there a few times," he admitted. "Even though I was at the Guild for a while, I really spent most of my time here. Didn't do much in the way of going out. I was pretty much always busy helping out. My friends all thought I was crazy because I always offered to do their paperwork and did it, and well."

"It can be heaven or hell," she grinned, thinking inwardly, depending which side of the street you live on. And the paperwork...? That sounded like Amaranth. "Yes, there's a girl who's like that here. She obsesses over doing paperwork....just got married, too...."

"Heaven or hell? What do you mean?" Demitri didn't quite understand. "And really? I thought I was the only one in the world who wanted to take away other people's paperwork. I just didn't want other people to have to go to the trouble."

She wasn't quite sure how to explain this seeing as it was more of a gang point of view. Or a Sasha view. Even then she had kept away from gangs, until recently.... "Well, I didn't really grow up in the nicest part of town. So depending where you went, you could either have the time of your life or your ribs broken. And fortunately, I've never had any paperwork to do as a job."

"Almost everyone has to do paperwork quite a bit, though. And no one likes it. Not even me. But I do it. And really?" He winced. "Sounds absolutely awful... Well," he went on, overly-cheerfully, "The next time you get a rib broken you can come and talk to me!" He smiled. "I'm just kidding, of course- I hope you don't break your rib."

"Well, I've had mild paperwork, but since it comes so infrequently and there's usually not very much, I don't consider it as paperwork...." Sasha stopped petting Kinny to look at Demitri. "I will," she promised. "And I'll try to make sure even harder that I don't break anything...."

He smiled at her. "That's good. On all counts. I think Kinny wants you to keep petting him," he said, gesturing at the dog. Norai had curled up and gone to sleep, deciding that humans were boring. She did open one eye and make an amused sound, though. Flirt, she accused Hers, and then went back to sleep. Startled, Demitri looked over at her. "...? What...?" He didn't get it.

She laughed. "I suppose he does. Don't you, my widdle Kinsta baby?" Sasha scratched him enthusiastically, ignoring Norai's solitary word and preoccupying herself with rubbing th dog's belly, whom had rolled over, bone forggotten. The only thing that indicated she had heard the Winged Wolf was a very pale shade of pink that tinged her cheeks.

After a moment of staring at Norai, trying to make sense of what she'd said (he'd misheard- he thought she had said 'fur'), he shook his head and looked at Sasha. At what she called her dog, he laughed. "Kinsta? That's cute. I'm sure he loves being called 'Kinsta.' Is Kinny his full name?"

"Well, I've heard no protests from him." The dog moaned in delight as she continued to massage him, legs twitching. "Just Kinny. I did, however, once meet a dog who's full name was Tipperoni Gadlucci FouFou....which is a leeeeettl bit overdone in my mind."
((XD Ha! That's exactly what the real life Kinny does....and the other name is the full name of my mom's dog, Tipi!))

Demitri looked at the dog, raised his eyebrows, and burst out laughing at his antics. Once he'd calmed down, he shook his head at Sasha. "Tipperoni Gadlucci FouFou...?" he asked incredulously. "That's a bit..."

"...much?" she suggested, moving out of Kinny's way. He had jumped up for no apparent reason, and raced off, although they both heard the distinctive word: SQUIRREL!

"Yes, that's i- squirrel...?" Demitri stared off after Kinny, his brow wrinkled in slight confusion. Okay, that was, er, weird. A bit weird. Well, he was a dog, wasn't he, and dogs liked squirrels, didn't they? It was just a bit disconcerting, because he was used to Norai and she did not chase squirrels. "Well... okay... Bye, Kinny... Kinsta..."

Kinny was too far gone to respond, happily outside of the Guild and chasing after a particularly fluffy gray squirrel. "Well, now that the mutt's gone, and Norai's asleep, should we move to somewhere else instead?"

Demitri blinked. He realized suddenly that they were sitting in the middle of the entryway of the Main Hall. Which was slightly odd. He stood up, then crouched again to pick up Norai, and then stood again. "Oh... Uh, right. That's probably a good idea. Where would you like to go? I mean, unless there's something you have to go and do..."
