Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Pretty great, huh?" the inu chuckled as he gazed at the nostalgic place. "I grew up here before I - What?" He nearly choked on air when he heard her. "You want to go home? To that desert town? Seriously?"

"It's not as easy as that, princess!" Trenton snapped until she set a hand on his chest. He pursed his lips and felt his heartbeat strengthen for a second, but shrugged it off when she walked away. What a weird feeling. He looked back at her and thought about who could help. It's not like he wanted her here anyway, so they'd both be helping each other out by sending her back to that God-forsaken place. "Well.... It's been a while, but I remember a wizard in the capital here." he murmured while scratching his chin. "And there's always Glenda..."

Trying very hard to keep from blushing, Trenton placed his large hands over hers and lowered hers from his shirt. "They don't even know what credit is." he said with furrowed eyebrows. "They have a traditional market. You trade instead of using currency."

"No, see - Would you listen to - Shut up-!" Trenton's ears flattened more and more as Dorothy nagged on and on about, big surprise, clothing. He couldn't get a word in edgewise! He was just about to snap at her when she tripped on the wood and nearly came tumbling down. Acting swiftly, Trenton moved one arm around her waist and jutted a leg out, catching her in mid-dip. "Careful!" he snapped and narrowed his eyes at her as his white hair fell over his face.

Trenton hesitated then stood her back up straight, his arms falling to his side. "Just watch where you're going from now on." he said coldly before walking towards the doorway. His ears flattened and his eyes squinted when the bright sunlight struck him by surprise, having been inside the house for too long. It took a while for him to adjust, but he was more than happy to deal with the slight discomfort. Oz was still how he remember, joyful and almost fairy tale-like. The plants were brighter and in bigger numbers since technology held little rule over them, or at least in Munchkin Country, the animals and people got along, the air was cleaner.

"Calm down." Trenton snapped while walking out the door. It still took him some time to get used to walking normally, there were times that he was tempted to get back down on all fours. "Wait here." he told Dorothy before venturing out outside the house. He thought of things he could scavenge, things he was sure could be used for trade in the markets.
The sound of stepping over the dirt and grass of Oz tickled his furry ears, which twitch at each chirp of a bird he hadn't heard in a long time. He was so lost in the nostalgia that he nearly missed the two shining bits of red near the house. Its glitters caught his sight and made him stop. Was that...? Eyes growing slightly wide, Trenton got closer and felt his jaw drop when he saw what it was. Ruby slippers. And the Wicked Witch of the East was wearing them... from beneath the house. A laugh of disbelief escaped the inu. Of all places to land, he landed on one of the witches! What a great day!

"And of all people too, eh?" Trenton smiled, contradicting her own feelings. He looked back over at the protruding legs from beneath the house and poked them with his feet, his tail wagging happily. "This is, or was, the Wicked Witch of the East. Don't worry about her, she was a bit_h." he shrugged, continuing to poke her legs. "She was one of the ones who turned me into that stupid dog, anyway."

"Oh yeah, she won't be doing anything... forever." the inu commented as he gave the legs one last tap, ignoring the best friend comment. There was something about the ruby slippers... He couldn't quite put a finger on it since it had been such a long time, but something about them set him on edge.
