The scout waited till they were out of sight before he pulled the door shut tight and turned back to face the room. [color=#808000]“Doc, you need to be deaf for the next several minutes.”[/color] He said. Athena nuzzled the ball and Jain’s hand. Her friend was still sad, and the ball brought happiness, joy and fun. It would work if the human would play with it and the canine. Athena’s tail was in a slow wag even as Raphael began to speak. [color=#808000]”You don't intend to let this stupidity last long do you?”[/color] Rafe asked arms crossed. [color=#808000]”Just cause you never wanted the job doesn't mean you can just dump it the first time it gets too hard.”[/color] The scout had known the commander for years, he’d been around when they found out Summer’s concoctions are not hypoallergenic. Rafe had a good laugh at Jain’s, and Summer’s, expense that day. And now one of the scouts oldest friends was before him in tears; As much as he’d like to comfort her as Athena tried to, Rafe had another approach. Rile the bear and provide a distraction and the well of tears goes dry. [color=#808000]”Don't even consider coming back to the scouts.”[/color] Raphael stated, doing his best to sound nonchalant. [color=#808000]”Being in command has made you noisy, you make more noise now than the Cosplayer.”[/color] [@RumikoOhara]
