[@Letmehaveone2] [@ViolentViolet] Joey granted Angela permission to pet the dog, which Angela eagerly turned her attention to. She reached out her right hand to let the dog sniff it, then scratched gently under its neck and ran her hand down the side of its body. She listened for the owner's approval or disapproval, but heard none and figured Joey had his attention back on the other girl. Distracted by the dog's wagging tail, she hardly wondered if this could be a werecreature, assuming it was just a pet. [color=8882be]"Hi, dog! What's your name?

Joanna still wasn't home. He looked at the wall clock and saw that it wasn't even evening yet. He could go to his room to work on some projects, but he was pretty inspired from the encounter with the boy. Maybe he would head over to the stifled sunlight of the forest and write some music. He put his guitar back in its case and went back out the door. On the way to the forest, he saw a redheaded girl and a blonde boy approaching. The girl was eyeing him as if she wanted to tell him something.
