For once Anima found herself off the island without a thing to do, well actually she did have something to do but it wasn't an errand for Dr. Suhoiae. She was simply walking X'tir through the park, something she normally wouldn't have done considering how X'tir usually behaved. Today he seemed to be doing better than she expected, but he was still scratching at the collar she'd put on him that morning. "Stop that." She chided the little Lucross as he stopped about every fifth step to scratch at the offensive object with his hind leg. "It isn't going to hurt you, and yeah it might be annoying but it'll save me money." She told him, as his big blue eyes came up to look at her with what she thought might be annoyance.
X'tir continued to persist in demanding the collar be removed as they walked further into the park, gaining her quiet a few startled look from mothers and passers by as well as a few curious expression from children playing on the playground. Mainly they were staring at X'tir, since she for once wasn't decked out in her normally fashion. Though she imagined she was still a bit odd looking for someone walking a Lucross through the park. She could feel X'tir pulling at the leash, testing it's limits as they went. He even managed to grab hold of a park bench they passed, chewing ferociously at the wooden leg before she dislodged him with an apologetic look to the elderly couple sitting on the bench. "I...uh." that was about the furthest she made it in apologizing when X'tir seized the moment and broke the leash with a violent snap. As was it seemed customary he flung forward with surprising speed for some yet unknown destination, leaving Anima to run after him with a whole lot less grace in her boots.
The small Lucross had a target alright, that target was a metallic object with strings that made a strange sound. He crashed through the bushes and locked on to his target with a simple crunch, despite the fact that someone was holding said object and that it was still making sounds. Content with the sound and the metal in his mouth X'tir began to make a growling sound akin to a purr, his eyes closed in pleasure as he snorted and got a better grip on the metallic object. He then laid down chomping contently on this thing while listening for his master to catch up. That's what Anima was trying to do at least when she lost him in the bushes, "X'tir! X'tir, come back! Come here little X'tir!" She yelled as she wandered about in the bushes behind the swing set trying to keep the frustration from her voice as she called.
