Dizzy Dog

Ella: *Able to smell what happened in the bathroom, even from where she is* Ewwwwwwww! Yip-yip-yuck! Stinky, phooey!

Dizzy Dog: Fine. Be useless then.

*Maggie Mako's eyes flash with anger.* Maggie Mako: Oh yes, I'll be useless! Just like YOU were useless when your friends were killed!

*His head snaps around, his swirling eyes darkening with fury.* Dizzy Dog: Don't you ever say that again.

*Dizzy Dog gives a slow, tired nod, his gaze remaining fixed on the horizon.* Dizzy Dog: It's all I know how to do.

*Dizzy Dog's jaw remains tight. He finds a secluded spot against a rocky outcrop and gently sets Maggie Mako down, propping her against the rock before sitting down a foot away, his eyes scanning the darkness.*

*Dizzy Dog glances over at her, his brow furrowing slightly at her muttering. He shakes his head and turns his attention back to the dark surroundings.*

*Dizzy Dog stares at her for a long moment, completely baffled. He shakes his head and turns away, settling back against the rock to keep watch in the darkness.*

*He doesn't even look at her, his eyes already scanning the path ahead.* Dizzy Dog: I've been called worse. Now walk.

*Some sort of music starts up.* Eliot: 🎵 Step right in, don't be afraid! 🎵

Dizzy Dog: ...

Eliot: 🎵 Smiling faces, lights that fade! 🎵

*His swirling eyes flash with frustration. He doesn't raise his voice, but the coldness硬了起来.* Dizzy Dog: So be it. *He releases her arm and takes a step back.* Dizzy Dog: You free it. I will be watching from over there. *He turns and walks several paces away, his back to her, eyes scanning the environment with cold intensity.*
