Verdier was absolutely loving this, she loved to be the center of attraction, she was even getting scratched behind her ears just the way she liked it by the nice-smelling young lady, and the strange boy dressed like a fuzzy bear. She was a bit confused as to why total strangers were treating her so nicely, but she could smell they weren't bad people at all. She glanced back to her master to try and get some attention out of him too, nuzzling her wet nose against his thigh with yipping contentedly. Toridus scratched her ears and that one special spot behind her neck that made her leg try to scratch the air rapidly, though a defeated expression rested on his face as he saw that nobody paid his warning any real head, not even the well-mannered young lady or her apparently adult friend. He wondered if anybody other than the child could even see him, that or they were too busy paying attention to Verdier to acknowledge him at all. When they all agreed to leave the bar to go and look for a ship for their shenanigans, Verdier yipped happily as she wagged her tail after them, literally picking up Toridus by the collar of his shirt by her teeth and dragging him off to the harbor, Toridus struggled but she wasn't going to let him go until they were on a ship. FOr some reason, Toridus seemed to understand exactly what she was doing, and shouted out: [b]"V-VERDIER, COME ON, I CAN WALK ON MY OWN! NO.NONONONONONONO, WE ARE NOT BECOMING PIRATES! VERDIER, I DON'T CARE IF SHE SMELLS LIKE FRUITS AND KNOWS JUST WHERE TO SCRATCH YOU, THAT ISN'T AN EXCUSE TO BECOME A CRIMINAL!"[/b] He shouted as he struggled to free himself from Verdier's mighty jaw strength, but it was no use. [i]"Captain Aldreine is gonna kill us if he finds out about this..."[/i]
