It was one of those rare days that Evren was dressed in a track suit… and the reason being. “Marleennn! Please slow down!” Currently the seventeen year old was being dragged around by a Great Dane. As they neared a park Evren was panting with tears in her eyes. “I… I don’t think I can go on.” With that her feet fell out from under her and luckily she face planted into the grass instead of concrete but it still hurt. The large Great Dane dragged her for a bit before turning around and seeing the girl on the ground. The dog closer and licked the side of her face which made Evren turn around onto her back. “Marleen!” The dog responded by instead of letting the girl get up laid on top of her stomach area so she wasn’t able to turn over. Waving her arms around Evren tried to get the dog to move off of her. “Why Marleen whyyyy.” She didn’t understand at all why Marleen liked to play with her this way… did Marleen see her as some sort of teddy bear or some other toy that she could do whatever she felt like to her? Regardless she felt like she was going to be trapped here for awhile.

Laughter rippled from the young man on the park bench as he witnessed the whole ordeal of the young woman on the grass. He had been enjoying the sun and weather when his attention had been caught by the girl calling the name Marleen. Kit had turned to see that Marleen appeared to be a very enthusiastic, playful Great Dane who was currently giving her human a very difficult time.
"Hahaha! Are you - haha! - are you okay?" Kit managed to gasp between laughs, getting up from the bench to greet the two ladies. "Does she do this often?" he asked the girl under the dog. "Man, I can't even imagine!"Stump_Fairy ((Thank you very much~! heart ))

Evren heard the laughter and tilted her head to look up at the person. She blinked for a few seconds before giving one of her sun rivaling smiles. “Heehee According to her owner I’m Marleen’s favorite dog walker… Large dogs think that they’re lap dogs you know! So I really should think of it as a great honor Marleen wants to give me hugs… but…” Her smile then started to fade. “…It gets hard to breath.” Though even through her pained face she managed to keep a bit of the remainder of her smile. “I’m Evren Porter. It’s a pleasure to meet you!” When her face started to turn blue Marleen then decided to stop crushing her and stood up and walked over her. Evren quickly sat up and let out a few deep breaths. “Haaa haaa haaa… Marleen… You might crush me to death one day.” The dog only responded by licking her face.

"'According to her owner'? You mean you're not her owner?" Kit asked, astonished. "That's really saying something, then, for you to be her favorite walker." He snickered. "But maybe that's just because she knows she can yank you around and sit on you when she feels like. Hehe, gives a whole new meaning to the phrase, 'walk all over you'."
"Whoops. Can't have that," he chuckled, rising a bit to slap his palms against his knees. "Marleen! C'mon girl, give your walker some air, won't you? Otherwise she won't be able to walk you any more."
"Pleasure's all mine, Evren," he answered, looking back at the girl. "Name's Kit Paine. Damn, you have guts walking dogs that you don't own and that could potentially kill you."

Evren just laughed a bit before scratching the back of her head. “Guts… mmmm...” She crossed her arms and looked like she was in deep thought before returning shortly to her carefree smiling face. “It’s not really guts… I just really love animals!” She reached over and ruffled Marleen’s head. She laughed as Marleen licked her face again. “Lotti, Regi and everyone who comes to visit us at the animal clinic. I love them all a lot.” She then looked up at Kit. “You understand, right Kit! As someone named after a baby fox I’m sure you understand it’s important to give animals lots of love and care!”

"Oh, so that's it," he answered, still chuckling lightly. "But it takes guts to love, you know. Not an easy thing to do, especially when it can be painful. Or dangerous." He gestured vaguely to Marleen. "It can make you vulnerable, worrying and caring for the sake of others, because then you forget to worry and care about yourself."
"Yeah? Who're Lotti and Regi?" the male teen asked, curious. He looked a little taken aback at the mention of his name and he laughed a little, but it was half-hearted and it didn't reach his eyes when he diverted them to the grass. "Actually, that's not where my name comes from, but I think I know what you mean," he agreed. "Younger siblings need lots of love and care, too. Even when they're a pain in your a** like Marleen, here." He smirked. "But that's the problem. When you love someone, you can't help caring about them anyway, even if they're the biggest pain you've ever known."

Evren blinked and tilted her head. “Hm? I’m not sure if it makes you vulnerable but I do tend to forget to look after myself… but that’s because I’m an airhead.” Evren stated smiling like it was the simplest thing in the world. “But some of those things you say about love might be true.” Tilting her head so her red and amber locks fluttered over her shoulder. “But it’s what makes it worth it, right.” She grinned and then wrapped her arms around Marleen’s neck. “But it’s perfectly fine to love animals you know! They’ll return it one hundred fold!” “Lotti and Regi my family’s pets! Lotti is a golden Labrador and Regi is a blue British short hair I found on the streets. Evren completely not picking up him not being overly interested in what she said just seemed to blink. “Ah? Kit has siblings? I really don’t think my younger sisters are a pain really…”

"Heh, well...you probably don't have to worry so much about being vulnerable around animals since they're not likely to ever betray your trust or stab you in the back," Kit said with a bitter smile. "But yeah, if you're an airhead, it's probably because you're so busy taking care of others. Hehehe...you're probably right about it being worth it. And about it being fine to love animals." He cast her a curious look. "So...you never been in love with someone before? With a human and in a romantic way?"
Nodding as he listened to her talk about Lotti and Regi, he said, "Blue British shorthair...is that a cat? Or is that really a name of a dog breed? And I've heard of black labs, but not golden ones. They don't have any relation to Golden Retrievers, do they?"
His grin widened. "Wait, you have younger sisters, too? Jeez, you must have your hands full all the time!"

Evren hummed at his question. “In love romantically… I wonder…” She whispered more to herself and had a distant look on her face before shaking her head and turning back to Kit. “Well I can say as far as I can recall I haven’t fallen in love with anyone.” Though she wondered if from the time she couldn’t recall if there was someone she wanted to be with that way. “Ah yes Regi is a cat… And Labradors and Labrador Retrievers are the same type of dog. Though I really should be calling her a yellow Labrador retriever as to not get her mixed up with the Golden Retriever but she’s a nice golden color I forget.” She laughed standing up to properly pet the Great Dane some more. When he mentioned that she must be busy all the time she just laughed. “Nah. It’s really not all that bad.” Evren then blinked and laughed nervously. “Ah… Sorry for taking up so much of your time! Marleen and I need to be on our way so we’re not late.” Marleen barked and pulled on her leash. “Marleen won’t be satisfied if we don’t go everywhere she wants to go so taking a shortcut back is a no go.” Evren laughed as she was being dragged slightly.

Kit nodded. "That's good. I feel like too many people these days are in a rush to fall in love or at least be in some kind of relationship because society and the media keep telling them they're not 'whole' if they don't have a partner or aren't married or whatever. If it happens, it happens and there's nothing you can do about it, but it's definitely not something I would have gone looking for if I'd had a choice in the matter."
Thinking a moment, he sneered. "You know that stupid saying, 'it's better to have loved and lost than never loved at all'? That's bullshit. Love is like an addictive drug. Once you've had a taste of it, you can't get enough, even if you know it's nothing but harmful to you. That's why it ends up destroying people. It takes an extra strong person to break free once it has them in its grip, but even then it's sure to leave scars." The young man blinked. "Heh...sorry, ended up ranting there for a minute. You were saying?"
He listened and nodded at the information regarding Regi being a cat and the breeds of dogs. "Whoa, really? What's the difference between Golden Retrievers and yellow Labrador Retrievers, then?" he asked, intrigued. "Are they related? Heheheh, 'yellow Labrador Retriever' sounds like a mouthful. Maybe you can just call her a gold Lab."
Kit's brows rose when Evren apologized. "What? Oh, no, I was the one talking so much and asking you all the questions. If anything, I was the one taking up your time. Sorry; I didn't realize you were going to get late. Er, did you want some company back, or do you think you'll be able to avoid Marleen nearly killing you again?"Stump_Fairy ((Sorry for the late reply! ^_^; Got caught up with work. With Evren leaving, did you want to end it?))

Evren listened careful to Kit as he was going on about love. She just smiled gently. "Love is indeed different for everyone." She started walking. "It's not my place to say but... its not just love that can hurt you. Many things in life can... all we can do is keep moving forwards." She just chuckled. "It's not really advice... its just all any of us can do." Evren perked up when he asked what the difference between the two dogs are. "Well Golden Retrievers have longer hair and as the name suggests are only golden in color. As guessed by their names they're both in the retriever family and have many similarities." Evren giggled at mentioning Marleen trying to kill her. "I'll be fine. But I'm more than happy to have you join me on the way back. After all everything is more fun with company." Kitomyx Ah I was really leaving it up to you ovo/ if he didn't want to accompany her I was going to say we could end it.

"Oh, no, I totally agree. Plenty of things can hurt you," he answered grinning vaguely at the ground with a distant look. "I just haven't found anything anything that hurts worse. Not that I mean to sound pessimistic," Kit added quickly, laughing. "I mean after all, without pain, there would be no pleasure, so I'm a fan of both." He got to his feet and stretched his arms up toward the sky before folding them back behind his head.
"Huh...so are there any other kinds of retrievers other than Golden and Labs?" the young man asked, intrigued. "Are you planning to go into a career involving animals? You really seem to know about and love them. I know you mentioned an animal clinic, but do you work there, or are you just volunteering?"
"Well if you don't mind the company, I'd be happy to keep yours," Kit replied, cheerfully moving to keep pace alongside Evren and Marleen. "And I agree. The more the merrier."Stump_Fairy ((Oh, okay, I gotcha! Also, thanks for your patience with me. ^_^; I just started a full time job so it's been taking some time catching up on rps.))

Evren chuckled a bit. "Well with that attitude Kit... I'm sure you'll make an impact on many people's lives." She started walking in pace with Marleen who seemed to have calmed down quite a bit. "I can tell! After all we're friends now you and I." When she heard him ask about retrievers she nodded. "Well they're bred to retrieve game so there are a few different types along with many dogs bred from them who made other types." Evren puffed one cheek in thought for a minute. "A career in animals... I've never really thought about it. I mean it’s not really working there or volunteering when your parents own the clinic after all." She scratched her head and laughed nervously. "I'm not really sure if I'm cut out for the medical field like them... maybe I could make animal clothes or something though."

"Thanks, Evren," Kit said, sincerely flattered by her words. "Hahaha, I just wonder if it'll be a good impact." He turned to regard her curiously when she declared them to be friends and beamed. "Yeah? Well I'm glad to hear it."
Listening when she responded to his question about retrievers, "I see. So that explains the name," he murmured musingly to himself. "Seems like a lot of dog breeds were created to help with hunts." He bit back a laugh at seeing her puff out one cheek. It was cute, the little quirks people had while thinking.
"Oh, so your parents own the clinic? No wonder you know so much about animals. You must have grown up around them," Kit marveled. "Hehe...I see what you mean. Yeah, medical stuff takes a lot of training and school. If you can make clothes, though, whether for animals or anyone else, that would definitely be a good way to make some cash. Creative, too."
He brought out his phone. "Hey, Evren...since we're friends, did you want to exchange numbers? That way if you ever need a bodyguard or at least someone to make sure Marleen doesn't kill you, you can call me up and I can accompany you."

Evren smiled brightly. She then nodded about dogs being bred to help with hunting. “Pretty much all animals we keep as pets today where originally bred to help humans in some way… even today companionship is an important job we entrust to them.” When saying that she must have grown up with them Evren had a faraway look on her face. “Oh… no I didn’t grow up with them… I… was adopted a year ago.” Evren said giving a slight tug on the leash when they came to the road. She then looked both ways to see if any cars were coming. “It’s… kinda a complicated, my situation… but these are just things I’ve learned in the past year.” Evren laughed nervously. It was a little awkward talking about that you weren’t really your parent’s child. Excpecially when they weren’t even technically old enough to be your parents. At the mention of trading phone numbers Evren nodded and reached for her pocket. To which she then smiled blankly for a few seconds before she began to sweat and her eyes darken. “…It’s gone.” She slowly turned her head towards him with a face that said she was internally screaming. “W…WHAT AM I GOING TO DOOO!” She then started to look around franticly. That was until a swift kick to the back of her leg came. There was a young girl with black hair and eyes with her arm crossed behind her. She flipped one of her pigtails and huffed. “Ren you left the clinic without your phone…” While Evren recovered from the kick the small nine year old glared at Kit before turning back to Evren. “Honestly, I’ve been trying to catch up to you for a while now.” Evren laughed nervously. “I…. Is that so?”
