[color=8dc73f]"EXCUSE ME?!"[/color] Maxie couldn't help but get a little loud when she heard what Taka said, and saw him go for another shard. [color=8dc73f]"You need more?! MORE of this?!"[/color]
She stopped herself and took a deep breath, shaking her head. She reminded herself that Taka might not feel the way she did about all this. Like the powers from the shards had made life more difficult than it normally was. After all, his abilities were somewhat more easily concealed than hers. Probably didn't bother him as much.
While she was lost in thought, the stolen police dog next to her started moving in the direction Taka had gone. Maxie looked over, brimming with hope that maybe the dog was going home...for just a split second, that is, because a second later, she saw the dog daintily clench a shard in his teeth, and come rushing back to her.
[color=8dc73f]"GOOD GOD, NO!"[/color] Maxie recoiled with panic. She couldn't stop herself from running, but it didn't really take too long for the police dog, pretty much trained to chase after people, to catch up and tackle her. Maxie nearly landed on her face, getting flattened onto her stomach. The dog pawed at her hand until she gave up, opened it, and let the dog give her the shard. After that, he got off of her.
[color=8dc73f]"Ugggh....it's...a little...slobbery..."[/color] Maxie sat up with a groan. She looked down at the shard and breathed a sigh of defeat. The police dog sat next to her, happily panting away.
