A wrinkle in plans... - Open to all
A. Network Assistance Request?
[ Llewellyn wasn’t much for using the network, really. Tell-phones were something he tended to be more than a little clumsy with. It did help, though, that Enis had put his on a chain so he wouldn’t lose the darn thing so much. So there’s a light metallic rattle as he adjusted the phone and peered into the camera. ]
Er... Hello everyone. I hope you’re all... well?
[ That seemed polite, and he was trying to work up to asking for a favour. Somehow delivering news on a case was easier than this. Why was work always easier? ]
I’m just uh- looking to see if anyone would be interested in helping me out with a little project I’ve been working on. Some of you already know about it, since you mm... were around in the last world I was, as well. Pretzel’s particularly good at following scent trails, and we had thought he would be helpful in the event that people went missing back then. Seems as important here as it was there. Especially since this world has a lot more potentially confusing places to get lost, like the forest.
But! Anyway, I um... I’ve been spending the better part of the last year and a half training him in scent tracking. Rhy and I have mostly been working with items and making trails like that... But I think it would be beneficial for the little fellow to get experience looking for real people now.
Also... He’s very sociable, and because the last world we were in had very... few animals... [ Complicated in ways Llewellyn didn’t know how to explain, really. ] He doesn’t quite know what everything here is. He keeps trying to make friends with creatures that aren’t fond of dogs. [ A small amused huff. Pretzel really was as awkward as he could be sometimes. ] So if anyone has a particularly social pet that he might get along with, it might be nice for him to get to know them?
[ An awkward pause, then a nod. That was about it. ]
Uh- anyway, I’ll be going then. Thank you for your time!

B. Open Log
Pretzel was a very energetic, growingwrinkle hound. It was important to get him out for walks so he didn’t get too housebound, and while the move was going to give the little guy more room to run around? It was going to be an adjustment, and Llewellyn was hoping to keep his routine as close to normal in all the excitement.
Especially since Pretzel had somehow gotten very good at slipping out without their notice to explore the city in search of friends. Neither he nor Rhy could figure out how the dog kept doing it, it was a mystery.
Llewellyn had decided it was just that the dog was rather intelligent, and he wasn’t being challenged or engaged enough. So the best answer he could come up with was to increase training and give him something a little more difficult. Challenge the clever little hound’s mind while they were out and about.
Afternoons where he wasn’t at the Gullwings office, Aerith’s garden shop, or with his husband were spent on very long walks around the market... Or running around the park with fake scent trails and dog toys as he tried to keep up with Pretzel’s training and exercise.
ooc: People could either run into them at the park (especially if you want to handwave them arranging to help with training) or bump into them around the market! Both Llewellyn and Pretzel are veryawkward social!
Helping out a friend in need. - Closed to Lauri-Ell
Llewellyn adjusted his hat slightly, moving down a side street with Pretzel trotting dutifully at his heels. The detective had a somewhat concerned and definitely curious expression on his face as he took a shortcut to the forge where his friend worked.
Lauri-Ell didn’t tend to ask for assistance or favours much, in his experience. They had their weekly lessons for writing and sharing books... But this was a little different from that. She had sounded a bit frustrated and troubled, explaining that something rather important was missing...
It hadn’t taken more than a half second of thought to agree. He wasn’t fond of friends being troubled by things, especially if he could help.
So off he went with a quick note for his husband where he was going for the day in case he didn’t make it home till later in the evening, getting Pretzel’s leash on and making his way to their destination.
I know exactly what I want, and it's this life that we've created, inundated with the fated thought of you. - Closed to Rhy
This was it. This was moving day. Well... Moving week, really. They had been working for the last week or so to get their belongings moved from the red and blue building to the stonework house that was situated in a small neighborhood near the market.
But today, in particular, was special. It was moving in day. It was also, amusingly, their wedding anniversary. Which had felt rather fitting for their next step together.
There were other things, of course, that needed doing. The house was in livable conditions, but it did still need a little work here and there. Some painting needed to be done to freshen things, some small repairs here and there, and perhaps a little more cleaning where it had been vacant for so long...
But they were both rather eager lovebirds, after having been searching for the right house for a few months now. Especially since this one had been perfect, hitting most of the marks that they had agreed on for a home, which felt rather lucky.
Llewellyn had been... Well, he was up to something. Rhy would be able to tell that much as they got ready for the day. The detective had never been good at hiding things unless someone’s life depended on it (and if it was his life, then less so). So it was clear enough that he was keeping something to himself while they went over last-minute plans.
It was their wedding anniversary though, so what on earth did the man have up his sleeve today?
“So uh- we need to stop off at the shop to get the um...” He gestured at the windows lightly from where he was standing next to the closet, trying to button his shirt and get dressed for the day. “The materials you picked out for the curtains and your projects? And I have to get some paint to work in the kitchen in the next few weeks...” He tapped off the list on his finger, forgetting his task of getting dressed for a moment. “Should probably see if the carpentry shop has some of the things we commissioned finished, too. I think the note I received from the messenger said they had Pretzel’s bed and a few other things ready.” He added, piling a few more things onto the list while he tried to decide on a green waistcoat or a blue one.

At least he was helping the pup learn.
no subject
And Tommy’s help was key to that. A good first experience, and they could increase the challenge in the future, of course. At least if Tommy was up to continuing training on other days in the coming weeks. It would be good to have Pretzel a little more prepared should they find themselves in a situation where someone went missing, something he’d had on his mind for quite some time.
Pretzel was still leading him along, though. The hound’s nose to the ground and going this way and that, ears dragging along and almost tripping him a couple of times. A silly looking thing, but clever and eager to win the ‘game’ all the same. It does cut rather closer to the two-hour mark they’d agreed on, but Tommy would find his work interrupted by an excited bark and two familiar figures heading towards his stand.
no subject
The bark earns a lifted head and Tommy grins as the two approach.
"So I made the trail long enough," he said with a smile. "I was worried about that. Next time we play, I'll make it longer, if you've got time to deal with it. Lead him on a slightly older trail."
no subject
Pretzel excitedly hurried over, sitting at Tommy’s feet with a small wiggle as he eagerly awaited his reward for finding the person he was tasked with finding. Llewellyn chuckled a little at the display, pulling a treat out of his pocket to offer the hound with some well-earned pats as well. “You did! It was good for practicing with getting his attention back on track too, sometimes.” He glanced up with a smile. “And if you’re up for longer and setting up some older trails, I’d be happy for the help. Thank you, Tommy.”
no subject
"I'd be happy to talk about them with you in the future," Tommy promised. "It's gotten to the part of my day where I need to work now. If that's chill with you two. Oh, and can I have my shirt back?"
no subject
Smiling a little, he realized it was rather later now. “Right! Wouldn’t want to affect business, we can talk about future practices another time. We’ll let you get back to your day, and uh- oh!” He realized belatedly that, yes, Tommy would want the shirt back. Rising from where he was crouched next to Pretzel, he took the shirt out and offered it over. “There we are! That should be everything.”
With a small nod, he added. “We’ll be in touch. Have a good day, Tommy.” Absentmindedly, he decided to have something sent by the stall later as a thankyou. Something to eat, probably, knowing Tommy and his young employees needed to stay fueled.
no subject
But he's not going to explain why.
"Later Llewellyn!"
But yeah, he'd be happy to have the food sent over for the kids.
no subject
For now, he definitely had to go see about having some food delivered for Tommy and the kids. “Until next time, Tommy. Have a good day!” He nodded in parting before leading Pretzel off for their next stops.
