She had dyed her hair once more, well, for the first time in a long time, and considering she could pull at least some of it back…Lavender figured that it was time to start dyeing again. Now instead of the black with the teal which she had worn for years…she added some streaks of purple and just a few strands of silver along for the ride, and she liked how it looked, kind of magical. Like Rapunzel…only a lot shorter and darker and…not blonde.
Running her fingers through the still short locks, Lavender continued her trek home, pleased with how things were really starting to almost seem…normal.
She was almost happy.
Almost.
Of course, a fool proof way to cheer anyone up was to introduce dogs into the picture, and when Lavender turned a corner, she saw a girl with really soft looking dusty pink hair…and a whole pack of dogs.
There had to be at least five or six of them, and for a moment, Lavender was torn. Clearly the girl was walking them…clearly she was in the middle of actually doing something…important?
…But right now, all Lavender really cared about was petting all of the dogs.
She moved a little closer, giving a sheepish grin. “Hey! Nice afternoon, isn’t it? Are they all yours?”

Walking a couple of medium-sized dogs (husky, lab), a definitely large dog (great dane), and some smaller dogs (corgi, terrier) would be taxing for most, and Di wasn't some beefy god above all that; walking a bunch of canines at once certainly did a number on her arms, but her workouts helped her keep up at the very least. The woofers loved to pull, some more than others (especially the great dane) but she knew how to keep them from overwhelming her. It wasn't unusual for Di to whistle, call, or outright order the dogs to calm down. Sometimes she felt like she might as well be on a dogsled.
She could only shake her head and finagle one free hand to drink from her canteen quick.
It also wasn't unusual for passerbys to be in awe of the collection of doggos, especially on a nice day as this. Especially-especially when Di was in the rare moment of standing still, as she was right now, so she wouldn't choke.
Of course the dogs were already lively on sight of someone coming closer.
Wiping her brow with her canteen hand after she flipped it closed, she could only laugh amiably. "Lord, how they ain't! That's too many for one person to keep up with all the time." Not an unusual question for her, though. "I just walk em, sometimes dog-sit if their owners are out of town, but give em exercise more than not. Careful, though. You pet one, you gotta pet 'em all. They're jealous little guys."

Lavender paused, nodding to herself. Of course they wouldn’t all belong to the girl, that would be too many dogs for any one person to handle, no matter how big their heart was. “…Wait, I do hope that means you’re giving me permission to pet them, because I am totally down for that, hell yes am I down for that.”
She crossed the distance between herself and the dogs and began at once offering her hand out for them to sniff, excited to let all of her troubles be washed away with dog saliva. It was the perfect way to feel better. Utterly fool proof.
“I’m Lavender. It’s nice to meet you, if you don’t mind, I’m going to let your dogs utterly trample me and most likely die happy, don’t worry about calling nine one one, I don’t need help, and I really won’t need to be resuscitated.”
Laughing, Lavender winked at the pink haired girl and prepared for her doom. She wasn’t too worried about the corgi or the terrier, and the lab didn’t bother her much either…but that great dane and the fluff lord that was the husky should have given her at least a little pause…but.
She was feeling reckless.
Bring it on.

"Of course!" Di laughed. "They love new friends...it'd be a crime if I didn't let ya. Just don't let it spook you any if they get a li'l riled up, 'kay, sug?"
She was all smiles, and was happy to let the dogs socialize with someone new. Even so, she kept a good hold on the leashes and kept an eye on them, just in case. That got a little tough, though, the more excited they got. The corgi soon was a bit of a blur for sure.
"Name's Dione! N' this is the gang. Charmed, I'm sure. I am tryin' to keep a 'days since last incident' streak, I gotta admit," she laughed again. So she loosened her grip slowly, and not completely. Enough so the dogs could surge a little more towards Lavender, but not go hog wild. Di did know that if let loose, at least one of them would make a dash for sweet, sweet freedom.
The dogs were happy to pull, and jump, bark, and wag their tails real, real hard.
"Eaaasy..." she lightly scolded the lot.

She grinned. Spook her? This pack of precious babies? Never. Besides, she hadn’t been kidding. If she had to go down, it was so much nicer to imagine being killed by kisses and wagging tails than anything else in this world.
Quickly, Lavender moved closer, watching as the dogs strained against Dione’s grip on the leashes. “They’re all just great big darlings!”
And then she was in the thick of it, petting every inch of every dog she could find, laughing almost uncontrollably. This was hands down the best thing to happen to her so far this year…not that it could solve all of the other issues but…still.
In this moment? She was honestly happy. “Days since last incident just reset, I think, Dione. Ah! I think they really are going to kiss me to death!” Honestly, Lavender didn’t mind though, and she continued to laugh, paying a little extra attention to the fat little corgi, and a lot of extra attention to the husky. Oh but did she ever love huskies. “You have…the best job in the world, Dione I swear.”
