Zero waits on the front steps of the school for Parker. They really need to get a move on if they're going to beat traffic on the mainland and pick up the puppy on time.
(ooc: I'll be offline in a bit, so Parker is free to god-mode Zero as necessary.)
Parker follows him inside, and notes that several more Papillons are nestling on the couch, around the corner of the TV, and under the chairs. They perk up, ridiculous ears waving like flags, when new people come in, and four of them swarm the newcomers. She ruthlessly suppresses her first omg, pupppies! instinct, and crosses her arms.
"Yes. She's turning seventeeen next week." Parker studies the one trying to pet her shoe, and can't help but grin. "They're certainly very cute. The one we're buying-- he's healthy though? And do we have to take him to a vet to get fixed later, or get any shots, or is he ready to go, so to speak?"
Parker makes a kissy-face at The Puppy before she can stop herself. Then she gingerly takes him and can't help but stroke his head and scratch behind his ears, holding him carefully. "Hey fella," she whispers. "Want a new home?"
She blinks after a second, and regains her composure. "He's certainly friendly enough."
"They're very social." *affectionate grin at Zero and her swarm* "As you can see. Wee Skanky?"
*Zero straightens up* Oh, right. *digs around in her bag until she comes up with a roll of bills* Here you go. Are there papers? *goes back to praising a puppy's ickle nose before he answers*
'Fraid not. Fish'd peck me to death if I brought a puppy home for keeps. *skritches The Puppy's chin, then looks up at Parker* We'd better head back, yeah?
