"Dawg food?" Katrina paused from her sniffing and sat up, head poking through the bushes. "Uhhh... I eat hot dawgs." It involved the word 'dog' so it had to be at least related, right?
Then an epiphany.
"Are hot dawgs made outta dogs?!" The toddler's ears perked up and her brown eyes shot open wide.

"The stuff that is eaten by dogs." The otter tried to explain while staring at a nice brown bug in one of the bushes.
He smirked at her question and then shook his head. "Dogs are bigger. Like you, you're a dog. If then it would only be the tail..." Jacosa watched her tail with caution and then shrugged. "Perhaps they make the sausage out of a dog tail ?

Katrina gaped. She'd been eating DOGS?! That was cannibabalism! Right?!
Though before she could really say much more on the subject, the back of her heel hit something and caused it to roll backwards. "Aroo?" Turning around, her head vanished in the bushes once more. A few seconds later she poped back up with a tennis ball in her padded hands.
"Found it!"

Jacosa didn't have time to recognise Katrina's shocked face as she watched her vanish into the bushes. Anxiously he waited for her to come back and his tail moved swiftly from side to side.
As the otter recognised the tennis ball in her hands he squealed with delight and rushed towards the puppy. "Awesome, awesome, you're so great !" Jacosa didn't think about hiding his joy and picked Katrina up and swirled her around.
Still she was a bit too heavy for him and so he stumbled backwards and they both landed on the meadow nearby the bushes. Jacosa couldn't help but laugh.

The canine's tail wagged back and forth as she was praised. Though when he picked her up and swung her about a couple of times, her bright brow eyes shot open in slight shock.
Though it seemed to be over as soon as it started. Both of them landed in the grass, Katrina rolling off to the side of Jacosa. She lay there dazed for a moment until the otter boy started laughing. Blinking a few times, she could do nothing more then join in with her own barking laugh.

Jacosa held his belly, but stopped after a while watching the clouds above at the bright blue sky. "That was fun. One day I can show you how tennis works and then we can play together, Kat. It's ok to call you Kat, right ?"
His big dark eyes watched her for a moment before he turned back to the clouds. "Look there's a poodle cloud. You're not a poodle, are you ? I'm an otter. Do you see an otter cloud ?"

The mutt stopped laughing shortly after Jacosa, though her tail still wagged underneath her as she lay sprawled on her back. Her eyes stared at the clouds as well. She loved taking naps in the warm grass and watching the clouds go by. It was soothing.
"Is okay." Katrina said to the new nickname, smiling. "Tennis fun?" She asked, glancing over at him. She didn't know what the sport was about.
But before she could get an answer for her question, her attention was drawn back to the clouds. "Poodle? Naw... Dunno what kinda dog." Her mother had never mentioned her spesific species, and until now she didn't think to even bother asking.
"Otter?" The pup turned and looked at him up and down. He didn't look that much different from her... save for his ears. She was still having trouble differing species by looks and only went by scent for now. "Otter..." She repeated, watching the clouds again. Maybe she could find an otter shapes cloud for Jacosa.

"Tennis is great fun. It's played with the yellow ball. When you are bigger you can hold the racket, then I'll show you." Jacosa smiled. He really wanted to show it to all of his friends and from now on Kat definitately was one.
Jacosa didn't answer at first, but then he decided to tell her a bit. "I've got an animal book at home. It says otters are great swimmers. I really like the bathtub. Do you like it too ?
He pointed at a cloud that was bathtub shaped in his opinion.

"Okie." Katrina wiggled her feet back and forth, not liking the pink converse she was wearing. Shoes were so uncomfortable.
Though at the mention of the bathtub, she made a face and shook her head rapidly. "Nah-uh. Hate the water." She frowned, though she herself didn't know the reason for that. Yet at least.

Jacosa was wearing his favourite sneakers and so hadn't any problems with his shoes.
As she mentioned her hate of water though he frowned. He knew that not everyone liked the water, because he had a brother who tended to scream when he had to take a bath, but the otter had been sure that friends always liked the same things. Strange.
"Oh....what do you like then, Kat ?"

The toddler chewed on the question as she thought. "I like sleeping... and eating." She grinned in a dog-like fashion. "Like playing ball and board games too." It seemed she was a lot less physical or active as a child her age should have been. That was probably what attributed to her... less the thin figure.

The otter watched a cloud that looked like a toilet to him pass by and wiggled with his tail. "Sleeping is boring to me. I'm often awake at night too." Although his Mommy actually didn't like that fact.
"Board games ?" Jacosa turned his head towards the puppy. He didn't know such games, Andraste hated to play them and Ranjit was often at work. "How do you play that ?"

Katrina often slept rather late in the day and went to bed kind of early. But ah well.
She blinked as Jacosa didn't seem to know what a board game was. The canine raised a brow and say up, looking over and down at him. "Board games! You fold out the board and read instructions to it and then play. Like... Fraidy Cats!" Her tail wagged. That was her favorite game.

"Fraidy...Cats ??" Curiousity awoke in Jacosa, but at the same time he was sad that it seemed like he was missing a lot of fun. He kicked an ant off his shirt and appeared to think about something.
"Could you show it to me ? Perhaps we could play it at your place some day." It was really interesting that he was able to learn from the toddler. He had thought he was the master of all things, because he was older, but actually he hadn't a clue about board games. The otter made a mental note that he had to ask one of his parents about it.

"Yah!" Katrina perked up, the thought of one of her friends coming over to her house was exciting! He could show her all the neat plants outside and they could watch the clouds from between the trees and and...
"Should come over soon! I know mommy will say it's okay. What about you mommy?" She inquired, looking down at him with her tail wagging behind her.
