Dizzy Dog

Dizzy Dog: ... Which animals should I start looking for first?

Eliot: Hmmm... Let's start with the fruit bats! And I know JUST how to get them! There's a bucket of fruit in the aviary. Get it, and the bats will come flying back!

*Dizzy Dog walks until he finds the aviary. He finds the fruit bucket and grabs it.*

*step back with a sly grin* prove it then *walk to the door* tonight, my place. we'll discuss your... *pause, looking him up and down* qualifications

*My smirk widens, my gaze holding yours. I don't move from my spot.* I'll be there. *My voice drops, full of dark promise.* And you'll get your proof.

Dizzy Dog: Did you... Love Tolie? Because it sounds like you miss her.

Eliot: I... I did. I love ALL the children who visit. Tolie was no different. *Tears drip down his face.* I should've saved her... I WOULD'VE saved her if I'd been able to reach her. *Eliot sobs quietly.* Ella: Eliot...

*Dizzy Dog watches her for a moment, his expression unreadable. Then, he gives a sharp, decisive nod.* Dizzy Dog: Good. Now, on my signal. *He suddenly breaks from the cover of the tunnel, sprinting across the open ground, his movements quick and silent.*
