"[color=0054a6]I guess that makes all three of us idiots then, huh?[/color]" Dimitri said with a tired sigh. The sudden loudness of the announcement outside caused Dimitri to jolt, which in turn sent Brutus to his paws with startling speed for such a large dog. At first Brutus began to bare his teeth and growl at Melissa and Cliff again under the assumption that they were responsible for Dimitri's actions, however another rough pat in the ribs cut the dog off before more could be done. Dimitri's face paled as he listened to what the district manager had to say. He already knew for a fact that this would mean the end of Brutus, as people were often quick to expel animals to save their food, or worse, resort to killing pets for their meat. Another issue was the fact that Dimitri himself needed nourishment to keep up in his highly physical job. By Dimitri's count this morning he had approximately three ration packs a box of crackers, and two cans of soup left, but they wouldn't last long even if he did carefully ration them and Brutus continued hunting vermin.

"[color=0054a6]What do you mean, "does it for you"?[/color]" Dimitri asked as he eyed Melissa. He felt as though he already knew what she might have been implying, however he couldn't be sure until he actually heard her say it.
