Alexis glanced back at him with a smile, “Then don’t run. We’ll be back around in a few.” She turned back to look where she was going and Frigga was several more feet ahead, “Frigga, heel.” and she returned and fell into pace with Alexis. “Or” she tossed over her shoulder “you can throw your shoulder out.” She teasing slightly but she looked at Frigga and grinned. “We like him too, don’t we?” Alexis had the ball in her pocket and after about half the track she took it out and chucked it (a ball player she was not) off into the trees and bushes. Frigga would have to get the ball and come find her. Make Frigga work a little harder, and Alexis could slow her pace a bit.
Bonner“Do I have to choose now?” he replied acerbically. He caught up and slowed to match Alexis. “Honestly… did we not get enough exercise earlier?” and he nudged her with his elbow. Frigga came out of the bushes behind them and looked around, saw them, and came running. She cut in front of Kane and made him stop short, then dropped the ball and lowered herself on her front paws and wiggled her butt and got ready.
Usually she ran on a treadmill in the gym and she’d read medical or research journals while she ran. So without that option I the arboretum her mind had turned itself back to work and formulating different hypotheses and research methods for different projects. As close as she would get to meditation. Alexis blinked, “Huh?” and then turned bright red, but smiled at him. “Umm yeah We did, but she didn’t.” When Frigga dropped the ball at his feet Alexis shook her head. Solomon had Frigga wrapped around his finger. She kept up her jog while he dealt with the ball.
Kane chuckled and grabbed the ball and threw it hard behind them and pushed Alexis. “Run you fool!” he said and laughed and took off at a sprint.
Kane
Alexis started to pick up her pace as he pushed her urging her to run. She slowed half a step as he started to laugh. Hearing Frigga crash through the bushes behind her Alexis took off after Kane just caught up with him and tugged his hand pulling him down a side trail at a tangent to the path they had been on. She slowed slightly laughing softly and listening for the sounds of the approaching explosion…
BonnerKane smiled at her and then bent forward and kissed her softly. “Shhh.. maybe she’ll lose us in the -” and a bolt of fur shot out of the bushes and straight into Kane’s side, bowling him over and knocking him onto his back. Kane cursed, but laughed as the slobber-covered ball landed next to him and a tongue-kisses showered his face. “Frigga… Fri-… stop… stop it…” he said as he tried to push the dog off him.
Kane
Alexis grinned, knowing that it wouldn’t take Frigga long before....and he was gone…”Frigga!” Whatever it was, Frigga was totally enamored with Solomon. She knelt down trying to get her attention and some how ended up on the ground, Frigga’s hand legs on Alexis and her forelegs on Kane happily going back and forth between them. Alexis flopped her head back resigned to a very crazy dog....and then her hand found the very slobbery ball. “Frigga! Look!” She tossed it up in the air and barely managed to catch before Frigga did. “Want it?” Frigga stilled watching the ball, tongue lolling. Alexis wasn’t hopeful of the ball going too far and so she threw it hard, but didn’t actually let go of it and swiftly hid the ball under her opposite arm. Frigga too excited to pay attention took off, with a solid jump start off Alexis, earning her a “oooffffmph” before she disappeared into the trees again.
Bonner“Your dog is nuts… you know that, right?” Kane said as he wiped off his face and got to his feet, holding a hand out to Alexis. As he looked down at her, he grinned wickedly and said “I seem to remember you at this angle. Something is different, though… oh yeah! You have clothes on!”
Kane
Alexis shook her head, staring after Frigga. “She’s a dog, she can’t really be ‘nuts.’ Unless she’s sick, that could alter her behavior.” She reached up taking his hand standing up and then looking out for the dog, “I’ll check her out when....” She turned and looked at him, eyes wide. She didn’t say anything else, but she flushed slightly, but she was smiling. Instead she reached down and picked up the ball. “I think her problem is, she likes you. She doesn’t know what to do with herself.” Frigga trotted slowly back towards them, looking rather dejected at not finding her ball.
