Training

The door closes behind them as they enter the shop. The jingle of the bell isn't as friendly as it had been when Cael had come here before; two Impup follow at his heels, small tails wagging slowly and confused. The door locked behind them with a click, Hutch flipping the sign to 'closed' with a bit more force then really needed.

Cael just traced over the other's smaller form as they stomped over to cupboards of black treats.

"She got ta' ya' that bad?" Cael wasn't the smartest bun but even he could see how frustrated and upset that Hutch was.

He had come here for a bit of help training his two Impups. Yip and Yap were cute, sure, but so far they hadn't been the best of farm dogs; more content to chase the Barn Loafki and dig in the soft ground of his garden. They were so sweet and full of energy he just knew they could be good work dogs, too. Then Quince had shown up and a whole argument had started...

Cael didn't claim to know a lot about Imps. Whichever one was in the right or wrong he didn't know. But Cael HAD reached out to Hutch first and still needed that help, so in the end he had joined up on his side.

"No." Hutch groused, lying and pouting, but Cael just snorted and walked over to join in whatever the shorter one was looking for.

Yip and Yap had taken to playing with Hutch's Chirop, giving the two time to talk before the training started.

One point had taken Cael's interest when the two had been arguing...

"Do ya' really like being called 'good boy'?"

Hutch fumbled a pack of treats, face lighting red. They looked about ready to snap at him, but Cael was already reaching for the collar and leash the other wore. A quick tug silenced them, cheeks still aflame, something like a soft groan coming out at the action. Hutch looked mortified, perhaps it was the context, so Cael decided to have mercy and leave them alone. For now.

Sadly for Hutch, Cael was fucking stupid. Well meaning, but stupid.

"I think it's cute ya' get so excited. Bun's gotta know what they wantin'." Reaching out, Cael ruffled Hutch's hair lightly. Sticking his tongue out, he chuckled a bit when Hutch pointedly looked away. "'Sides, we all got stuff like that..." Trailing off, he hummed some. Then leaned in and lowered his voice a little, as if whispering a secret to the other.

"I like when people boss me 'round." Another friendly pat and Cael moved away. Hutch was cute! But, in this regard, they were not compatible. Shame.

Cael went and found Yip and Yap curled up, tuckered out, with the Chirop and Floof laying on top of the Imp pile. Yap stirred slightly but just yawned and rolled over.

Cael would give Hutch time to collect themself before reminding them about the training.
