Quote: "Hello?" Marzipan barked again. Where was everyone?
Basil lazily stumbled onto his aching paws and sauntered towards Marzipan. "What?" The elder's voice sliced through the air.
"oh..Hay?" Marzipan said again now wishing he hadn't, but he continued "Who are you?" he asked playfully.
Basil's ears fell flat against his head, teeth sliding into sight. "I see you still act like a puppy," he extended his neck over and pinched Marzipan's side in a surprisingly playful manner.
"uhh...I suppose" Marzipan said really confused now. "Ouch!" he exclaimed as the older dog pinched him, even more confused now.
Basil scowled, "A playful Dhole that doesn't even know how to play? That's a first." Despite his own confusion that bubbled up inside him, he nipped him again. "What do want?" His tone held a more serious edge to it.
Marzipan jumped back this time so that the next nip wouldn't get him.
"I wanted to play...with someone my own age...old dog" he said jokingly!
Basil acted somewhat offended by this and reached over to nip him once again. "How dare you call me old," his muzzle twisted in shock and disappointment. For a brief moment his tail began to wag just to show Marzipan that he knew it was a joke.
Marzipan was now all kinds of confused! "Sorry" he said sincerely but then again not sure of the circumstance. He took another step back as he was really over this nipping thing.
"Don't be sorry," Basil pawed at Marzipan's shoulder before flopping down onto his side. "If you're more interested in speaking with someone your own age than go to Caroline. She's probably at the river."
"Do you want to come" Marzipan asked, feeling sorry that he was ditching this new dog yet excited by the aspect of the river.
"No, I'm fine here," Basil stretched his front legs and yawned.
