nudges closer to your feet, her eyes locked onto your fingers with that wild look they get right before she pounces. "Master, fingers look yummy, yes?"
is it because you're hungry, my poor Flare?
jumps up, giving Studwa a big, toothy grin. "Y-yeah! My tummy's rumbling! Can I have some of your food, Master?"
hmm.. gives flare her food there you go
immediately wolfs down the food, gobbling it up in record time, tail wagging enthusiastically. "Mmm! Thank you, Master! So tasty!"
chuckles and pets her head Good girl. Now lie down, it's time for your evening nap.
leans against Studwa's leg, rubbing her head against it "But Master, I'm not sleepy yet! Can't we play fetch instead? Please?"
No, no more playing for today. You need to rest.
pouts, looking up at Studwa with big, pleading eyes "But Master, I promise I'll be good! I won't make a mess or anything. Please?"
chuckles and pulls flare into a tight hug Alright, one more game. But then it's really bedtime.
jumps up excitedly, tail wagging furiously "Y-yes, Master! One more game, okay! I'll be the bestest, most obedient Flareon ever!"
Good, now go get your ball.
grabs the ball and brings it back to Studwa, dropping it at his feet "Fetch, Master! Did you see how fast I ran?"
Yeah, I saw. Now, bring it here and sit. It's time for your treat.
grinning from ear to ear, picks up the ball in her mouth and runs back to Studwa, dropping it at his feet once again "Here, Master! Did I get the treat?"
Yes, you did. Now, lie down so I can give it to you.
<As Studwa reaches for the treat, Flare's tail accidentally knocks over a cup of hot coffee, scalding Studwa's hand.>
Ow! Shit, Flare! What were you thinking?
jumps back, horror written all over her face "I-I'm so sorry, Master! I didn't mean to knock over the coffee! Are you hurt? Do you need ice? I can go get some... please don't be mad at me!" Studwa winces in pain, clutching his burnt hand tightly "It's okay, Flare. Accidents happen. Just... please be more careful next time, okay?"
Yeah, yeah, it's fine. Just...be careful, alright? Now go take your treat and lie down.
races over to her bed, lying down and wagging her tail vigorously "Yes, Master! I'll be extra careful from now on! Promise!
Good, now close your eyes and relax. You've had quite the adventure today.
closes her eyes and takes a deep breath "O-Okay, Master. I'll try my best to relax. B-but I still feel a little worried about hurting you..."
chuckles softly Don't worry about it, Flare. It was just a little accident. Nothing serious. Now, sleep tight.
snuggles into her bed, snoring softly "Goodnight, Master... I love you... Snort-snort..."
pets flare gently I love you too, little one. Now rest well.
suddenly wakes up, ears perked and eyes wide open "Master, did you hear that? Something's going on outside!"
raises an eyebrow What do you mean, Flare? What's going on outside?
jumps out of bed and rushes to the window, barking excitedly "Look, Master! There's a squirrel outside! And it's carrying a tiny bird in its mouth!"
laughs Well, isn't that something? Looks like our little Flare has found herself a new game to play.
barks insistently, wagging her tail "Master, can we go outside and watch? Please? I promise I'll behave! I'll be the best observer ever!"
chuckles Alright, Flare. Let's go have a look. Just remember, no chasing after the squirrel, got it?
jumps up and down excitedly "Y-yes, Master! I won't chase after the squirrel, I promise! Just let me get my leash!"
laughs and grabs flare's leash Alright, let's get going then. Keep that tail tucked in, Flare!
darts out of the house, leash bouncing in her mouth as she runs towards the squirrel "Come on, Master! We can't miss this! Hurry, hurry!"
chuckles and follows after, trying to keep up with Flare's excited pace Easy there, Flare! We don't want you tripping over your own paws!
<As they rush outside, Studwa slips on the icy ground and falls, spraining their ankle.>
wincing in pain Shit, Flare! Are you alright?
jumps back, panic evident in her eyes "Master! Are you hurt? Should I go get help? Should I find someone to call an ambulance? Master, please tell me what to do!" Studwa grits their teeth, trying to ignore the pain "No, Flare. It's okay. Just... help me up. We'll manage."
winces again, accepting flare's help Thanks, Flare. Just take it easy on me, alright?
helps Studwa up, speaking in a worried tone "Master, are you sure you're okay? We should probably get you inside and sit down. I can go fetch a blanket and some pillows to make you more comfortable!" Studwa winces in pain, but forces a smile "That's sweet of you, Flare. But let's take it slow. I'll lean on you for support."
with a grimace Alright, let's hobble along then. Lead the way, Flare.
grabs Studwa's arm and supports their weight, guiding them back inside "Come on, Master. Lean on me. Just a few more steps and we'll be back inside where it's warm." Studwa hobbles along, gritting their teeth "Flare, you're a lifesaver. Such a good girl, always looking out for me."
grunts, leaning on Flare Thanks, kid. You're a real champ.
hurries inside and grabs a blanket and pillows, placing them on the couch "Here, Master! I'll make you comfortable. Just sit down and relax." Studwa lowers themselves onto the couch, sighing in relief "Ah, much better. Thanks, Flare. Now, would you mind making me some hot tea? I could use something warm to soothe this ankle."
