Welcome to Gaia! ::

Kell padded along the sidewalk in front of Eli a small squirming lizard trapped in his jaws. While the small prey creature had been captured the hound dog seemed to have no intention of eating it anytime soon or letting it go.

Eli sighed softly but allowed this anyways, Kell had found the thing trying to scale the wall of a nearby building and had plucked the unfortunate creature off with ease. The man knew he'd get around to eating it eventually or possibly let it go if he got bored, as it was the creature seemed more generally trapped then impaled on the dog's teeth so it wasn't as if it were in pain.

Eli waved back and would have left it at that if Kell hadn't darted across the road to see the stranger, tail wagging furiously as he pranced and whined for attention , lizard still firmly clasped in his jaws. Shaking his head Eli followed and wondered what had gotten into Kell. Perhaps the man was carrying or wearing something that smelled highly attractive.. or the old dog was hitting senility or something.

Kell gave a soft wuff which caused the lizard to squirm a bit more frantically from the vibrations. For his own part Kell seemed highly amused by his prey's efforts to escape.

I"m not sure sure catch is appropriate" Eli drawled as he caught up with the pair. The green eyed man shot the other male a friendly laidback smile as he spoke.

Eli nodded swiftly" Yeah Kell's a good old boy and enjoys being pet" Not to mention the dog would have to let go of his prize first and he seemed quite happy to hold on and coat the poor thing in saliva. " Also tiny dogs don't count as dogs I'm half convinces they're all halfbreeds with rats or something" The redhead wasn't normally biased but he did hold a certain amount of disdain for froufrou pets. Kell was his best friend and sometimes his only companion but the hound was also a working dog, not some luxury pooch carted around in a tote bag they didn't know what to do with itself. " I'm Eli" he said after a moment realizing Astan has introduced himself but he hadn't.

While the men talked Kell looked up at Astan with soulful brown eyes begging for a pet. A mighty hunter he might be at times but when the hunts were over the dog was still mans best friend.. in return for affection anyways.

" Grocery store" Eli answered " Sadly man cannot live on bread alone and I actually need to buy food." The auburn haired man wasn't much a fan of shopping even for the essentials but he couldn't exactly afford to have them delivered to his door like some people.

Kell's tail wagged faster at the touch and the dog released his saliva coated prey so he could try and lick the man's face in thanks.

Eli chucked himself as he watched Kell slobber a little on Astan, it was good to see the dog interacting with someone outside himself and his family. Ok so dogs weren't kids and they didn't need friends , plus it was his fault Kell didn't see people much but still it was good to see Kell happy and not totally hunt focused. sometimes Eli worried he'd taken the normal dog out of Kell at least until he saw something like this. " I think that lizards thinks you're it's personal saviour." The poor thing was now crawling away as fast as it could. " What were you saying before , you got licked?" Being cut off the other man hadn't been able to explain why he himself was out.

Eli nodded as the other talked, so he was drummer of some sort? Vaguely the auburn haired man wondered if the skin on the drum he held was from an animal he'd killed. " We go a bit of everywhere but mostly we're out there" he pointed off towards the wastelands" Hunting"

At the magical H word Kell looked over at Eli expectantly, where they going? Was there going to be a chase?
