[ She is definitely still chasing him, stopping when he stops, attempting to move slowly towards him, only for the canine to zip away.

When he stops and suddenly dips forward, Alex is unsure what to do, especially when he growled. Her hands go up defensively. Was..was he mad? Should she back away? But his tail was still wagging---was that a good sign? God, what were all these mixed signals!? She's never had a pet before and hasn't interacted with dogs much, so she wasn't familiar with their ways. ]

Do you want me to back off or chase you?!

[ Looking around, she spots a a near by stick and picks up. ]

H-here! Want to trade?

[ She throws it the other way, quite pathetically. ]

Go! Fetch!

[ven starts to hesitate when it seems like she is even more unsure than he is about what to do next.

... even more so when she tries to throw the stick, head turning to follow it with a sad whine before looking back at her. okay maybe the game is over.

he trots over towards alex, basket handle in maw, before setting it down in front of her. ven looks up at her with a remorseful expression (as remorseful as he can look like this), glancing to the tear in her dress.]

Sorry...

[ Oh, that didn't sound very excited...

Now she feels bad for ruining his fun. But she's surprised when he approaches and places the basket in front of her. The expression on his face twisted at her heart, making her feel like she had kicked the poor creature. He's even apologizing...Alex crouches down, wanting to reassure him that he is still a good boy! ]

N-no, I'm the one that's---

[ He's apologizing!?

Alex falls back on her butt in shock. Yes, she's seen dragons, werewolves, and even a human-like deer, but she hadn't seen a regular looking canine talk yet. ]

[callmeven]

I didn't mean to startle you that bad, honest!

[his tail starts to slowly wag again.]

I can pay to get it fixed! O-Or pay for the food I might have messed up...

[sing_for_me]

Oh--it's--it's okay..

[ She's gathering her bearings, realizing she's worried him more than necessary. ]

It's not a big deal. I know you were just playing.

[ Alex had no intention of getting the dog in trouble either. ]

I was just surprised is all.

[ Picking herself up, she returns to her feet, but remains lowered so she can talk to the dog properly. ]

You must really want to play.
