Marcus stood with her,keeping his head bent so he could see the small dog he laughed softly. "come on Rin you can't call him that, hes a guy! I think,"
Marcus chuckled, tickling the pup under his chin with one finger. "Nah, he's just tasting me" He joked, before nudging the pup back over to Rin. "she's the one with the beef jerky, check her out,"
"I never said we should,". Marcus said thoughtfully, extending a hand carefully for the pup to inspect. Tilting his head to the side he hummed to himself. He liked dogs, always had, but had never ben able to have one. Maaaaybe....
"someone's lost,". Marcus observed quietly, setting his bag down as he got a close look at the pup. Frowning he quickly scanned the area, looking for any sign of a mother or other pups. "what are ya doing on your own buddy?". He asked of the pup curiously, crouching down next to Rin when it became clear there were no other dogs around.
"Nah I don't think I will, there is no law saying I have to!". Snorted Marcus, inching further into the middle of the path and away from the ocean. " hear what?" He asked, hesitating mid step.
Marcus stayed quiet, only nodding briefly in agreement as he continued to watch the booming waves as they smashed into the beach. If anything they made him feel small, insignificant. The strength of them was just daunting. After some thought though he glanced over at Rin, an amused expression coming to his face when he saw her's. She hadn't really honestly smiled like that in a while. It was a relief to see.
