Lounging (Open for All)

[Suka]

Sampson sighed, his side heaving up as he did. He lay there sprawled across the bail of hay, getting little attention from Odyssey who was laying in his stall asleep. The old dog perked up though as the door to the barn creaked open and a brown figure approached. She seemed upset. "What's buggin' you, Britt?" He asked sitting himself up more as she sat down roughly on the hay near him. He stood and curled around the female comforting her. "The new dog, Johnny. He's running off to the strays and saying this isn't his home. He called me a soc too." Sampson shook his head making a slight clucking noise as if in disapproval. "You ain't no soc baby you know that. I can talk to him if you'd like." He offered giving Brittany a soft lick on her forehead. Brittany nodded, letting her head fall onto Sampson's paws as she rested. At first glance you may think these two were mates, but Sampson was much to old for Brittany in his mind and this is how he comforted the team. He had his own way for each member and this was the way that worked for Brittany. The large dog smiled and rested his own head on her back watching the door.

ooc.. So everyone knows Sampson is no longer a Saint B. He's an Irish Wolfhound. They are big and strong enough to kill a wolf. Here a picture of them, it may or may not be his, i don't know yet.

[Spitz]

Spitz slowly began to walk in though the barn door, as it crept open so slowly. He held his tail high, and ears erect in case there was a challenger inside, for he could smell the scent of two dogs, and something else, but those to him matter not, for it was the welcoming scent of food, and a warm place to stay for the night that drew him near. Spitz growled slightly as his head poked though the opening, and then slid on in silently. He had been watching the female human who lived here for awhile now, and all the time gonna unnoticed, but that could all change now. Spitz looked around, and quickly spotted what looked at be a horse, and a pair of dogs which looked harmless, accept for the large gray one, which he knew had been bred to kill his kind, for Spitz himself had been trailed by the large breed many times before, but never had he been so close to one, although he was not the least bit scared Spitz knew when to be wary of something especially a wolfhound such as this one.

Sampson, of course, was the first to spot the newcomer since he had been watching the door in case of such an instance. His instincts told him very much what to do but by now he knew how to keep them in so as not to cloud his better judgement. He blinked in acknowladgement and moved a paw so Brittany would look up as well. Her deep chocolate eyes watched the new male with curiosity as Sampson spoke. "Who are you?" He asked, his tone not threatening at all but easy, calm even.

[Spitz]

Spitz looked up at the gray male, and said in a slight cold, yet calm tone "I am simply a wanderer looking for a place to stay, but if your asking for a calling, mine is Spitz good sir.". He then slowly began to descend his tail, and relax his body more, but still being cautious of what this dog might try, after all it seemed slightly strange that he would accept a newcomer that quickly, and with the type of blood he carried almost impossible to understand he would do such a thing, but Spitz had never been one to spend his time thinking over something so little as a question, and he wasn't going to start now.

[Suka]

Sampson nodded slightly, "You are welcome here if you stay in peace." His tone was slightly threatening but he blinked a few times his eyes rolling slightly as he hadn't been able to control that edge in his tone as he should have. "I am Sampson, and this is..." He was cut off, "Brittany, I'm Brittany." Britt said smiling still ever curious of the white male as he relaxed. She stood up moving closer and away from Sampson who watched with close eyes the pair. "Where are you from?" She asked in a curious and happy tone, oh how she loved meeting new dogs and people. She wasused to it after all having to comfort the scared and angry dogs that came into the vet's office as well as the scared people waiting for their dog.

[Spitz]

Spitz growled slightly at the female's question, for she had hit his tender spot. His past, where he was from, it was all very painful to remember, but even so more in the sense that someone was asking. Spitz then quickly shook the thoughts of his past out of his head, and said "Where I come from does not matter, and if you truly wish to know then you can forget it, my past is mine, as yours is yours, and I ask that you keep your nose in your own affairs as so I shall keep mine.". Spitz didn't mean to sound so harsh, but the words he spoke we're true, and he could only hope that the female or what was her name Brittany would understand that, for even he couldn't truly ask her to mind her own business without getting angry, or slightly upset at the matter of source.

[Suka]

Brittany drew back slightly, nodding understanding. "Fine by me." She said, she had been offended slightly, but she had heard things like this many times and learned to expect it. She shrugged and pondered the thought of something else to say. "Have you been in town for long?" She paused realizing this was a question of the same sorts and she spoke again, "I meant that do you like it here." She restated and Sampson sighed still watching but laying back and relaxing, Brittany was a big girl, she could handle herself just fine.

[Spitz]

Spitz looked at the female once more getting irritated at her prying into his affairs, but he grinned slightly at her re-statement. He then said "Answer to your first question, yes I've been here for awhile now hiding in silence, and watching how you guys live here, but in tell now I haven't felt comfortable enough to show my face, when finally the welcoming smell of food took me over, and I came. Now answer to your second question, even though I have been here for awhile I no not of your ways, or if all subject to liking them, but as for now I'm satisfied with this place run by humans.". Spitz looked over at the large male named Sampson, and then back to the female named Brittany, or Britt for short, and awaited her response.

[Suka]

Brittany smiled, her tail moving behind her, "Oh it's terribly nice here!" She said a little louder then she had expected which in turn startled the sleeping Odyssey who stood up giving a distressed whinny. He gave a snort in the direction of Brittany who shot an apologetic glance as she turned back to Spitz. "If you like to run, you'll fit in just fine here." She said in a matter-of-fact way nodding her head to give her words that extra meaning. It was rather amusing. She smiled back up at Spitz and her deep chocolate eyes twinkled in happiness.

[Spitz]

Spitz laughed slightly in return to the females words, and then curled his tail over his back in a happy, pup like manner instead of his usual warning. He then said, "Well you know it's been a good while sense I've had a nice run, and I myself need to get the exercise.". Spitz then got down into a playful position sticking his rear end in the air, and stared at Britt waiting for her to do the next move. He chuckled slightly inside his head, but then the thought popped into his mind, what was he doing getting ready to play? He had hardly ever played in his life, for he never seemed it fit to, and her he was all of a sudden acting like a pup with someone he hardly knew, while a wolf killer was in the same barn as he. What the heck was he thinking, he didn't even know?!

[Suka]

Brittany laughed and pounced on Spitz's back, using her paws to try and push the half-breed over with a playful snarl and grin stuck on her face as her tail continued to be a flag behind her. Sampson gave a soft chuckle at Brittany and Spitz before closing his own eyes for a small rest. He wasn't asleep though, his ears were perked and every now and then his eyes would open again.

[Ponyboy]

Johnny returned shortly enough spending a good night at Pony's plae. The lot grew awefull old and newspaper just wouldn't do the job. He watched the two dogs play and wrinkled up his nose slightly. Brittany was being preppy...Hell she was flurting. His ears twitched slightly but he showed nothing. Eyes always held the same expression, usually. He was just a bit confused about how gals acted 'round boys.

"Oh yeah, It's real great here."

His eyes shifted sarcastically and the black greased haired dog sat back.

[Suka]

Brittany's ears went back in frustration as Johnny entered, she had been hurt more than it seemed by his comment and wasn't about to let it go. She shot a look to Sampson but he just nodded to her and she rolled her eyes sitting back and forgetting about the fun. Sampson stretched and sat up on the haybail, his eyes wandering back and forth between the group particularly watching for the new comer's reaction more than anything else. No one said anything as these events layed out in those few seconds, but Brittany felt an uncomfortable silence.

[Spitz]

Spitz then all of a sudden bared his fangs, and somehow ended up pinning the female down. He growled slightly as the hackles on his neck soon rose, and then oh so carefully he laid his fangs against the female soft, tender neck in warning, but he soon realized that she meant no harm, and was not his enemy he quickly withdrew, and allowed the female on her feet. He turned his head away quickly trying to hide the shame, and said "I'm sorry, forgive me.". Spitz then began to walk slowly over to the hay, and laid down. He had done it again. He had once more let his past get to him, and resorted to his old ways, of fighting, and for what? This female had done nothing to deserve that, let alone what he had planned to do to her at that moment, but why! Why was he troubled with the painful memories of his past!

[Ponyboy]

Johnny released a sharp threatening snarl when Spitz jumped apon Brittany with harm in his eyes and bloodlust. Then he got off and laid down in the corner. Johnny looked away. Heh. He didn't care. He shouldn't care. No way. Do it again I dare ya. I'll rip yer insides ya jumper. He pushed the thought away and tried to act like he didn't care.

"This is?"
