Thirty-Seventh Hex - [Voice/Action]
[Hi Luceti. Today if you happen to be walking anywhere in the village, you might notice an overenthusiastic malamute attached to a leash. At the other end of said-leash is a rather disgruntled British wizard, more or less glaring at the dog as he's dragged along.
Stupid Arumat. Of course he had to disappear and shoulder him with the responsibility of yet another life. It was strange knowing that the man, the last original housemate, was officially gone. Not necessarily sad, though there was a hollow feeling he hadn't been able to shake off ever since he'd realized what had happened.
He didn't get much time to reflect on it though, seeing how the malamute has been working him. On their walk today, the dog's busy barking at pretty much everything, trying to pull Draco in all directions to sniff all the things.]
Gods, you're obnoxious, aren't you?
[He wraps the leash around his wrist to make it a tighter hold, using his free hand to make a grab for his journal while Edge is still pulling him along.]
I can't believe I'm asking this...
Dog training. What do any of you know of it? Time's a factor here, I'm half-tempted to toss him into the lake at this point.
[Later in the day, in fact, he will be at the lake. His lake. The South Lake. Edge the Malamute seems to have calmed down, but Draco's sitting up and a bit on edge. His wand's in front of him, and he seems to be concentrating.]
Expecto Patronum. [Nothing.] ...Expecto Patronum! [Still nothing. A frustrated sigh later and he's back to consulting Luceti as a whole. Though the journal's in his hands, he's hesitating for a moment. It'd be much easier if Hermione were still here, but she's not. That's a fact. She won't be returning anytime soon, so he'll have to make do with the resources he has.]
...second question for the lot of you. When do you reckon it's appropriate to give up on something?

... Dogs are scary sometimes.
As soon as she can hear the dog Yotsuba stops and freezes in place. When it comes into view with its wizard owner her eyes go wide and she stares. Dead ahead. Don't come near her, bad dog.]
[Action]
Draco, meanwhile, is digging his heels in the ground to try and keep him still.] Edge, no! Er. Bad dog! [Damn why isn't this working? Edge is just going to keep pulling, heading toward the new girl because PEOPLE.]
[Action]
Woof woof woof woof woof!!
[Why yes, she is trying to bark at the dog. Maybe she can slowly edge away before it gets any closer.]
[Action]
Comically enough, Draco also tilts his head.]
...you don't think that's really going to work, do you?
[Action]
Maybe. It makes noisy dogs stop being noisy because Yotsuba tells them to shut up in dog.
[It doesn't work. It's never worked. But she can dream.]

[Riled. Words are things. Hard to say things.]

He did it again, woof! [Wait. That word. What does it mean.] Your dog isn't idolised?
