grasshopper picnic hydrangea on the menu beauty and the beast Majima had a lot of people to coordinate, so the calendar invites were sent to phones a few weeks ago. The festival was a working event for him, not something he could really relax for. As a compromise to those who wanted to spend more time with him, he's arranged the picnic. No, he didn't make any of the food, don't be ridiculous. He paid a caterer. He and the birds did, however, find a few thrift stores to rummage up blankets, baskets, and pillows. The flowers arranged around the area are an array of different colored hydrangeas chosen by Emily from Aerith's shop. There is also a corgi puppy lying on a blanket and watching with curious, baleful eyes. He is a visitor from Izo's shelter. Taro needs help with his socialization, be gentle with him! 🧺🌺🐶 The three of them are there ahead of everyone, playing with the puppy and drinking tea and snacking on fruit. But they're waiting for you; the river glittering at a distance. The weather is good and the company is fine. Say hello to your illustrious hosts: 🐍🕊️🦅

Wonderful. You'll want to mention it to Izo - the shelter's been his project, and I know he'll be glad to have your help. I just volunteer every now and then when time allows.

[because helping with the animals is a lot simpler than clinic work. they get adopted, they get loving homes, and in the meanwhile they get food and a place to sleep and friendship. easy, really.]

[demonrebel]

Wait, the whole animal shelter stuff was his idea?

[Huh? Excuse him if he looks a bit taken aback. Dante crossed paths with Izo a few times and the wannabe samurai comes across as a hard-hitting bruiser most of the time. The guy damn sure knows how to swing a bat, that's for sure but who would've guessed he has a soft spot for animals? For some reason, Dante can't help but find it a bit adorable.]

I'll be sure to ask him. I'm not about to let Izo have little Taro all to himself.

[He kinda loves this pup already. Corgis are the best!]

Have you thought about adopting a few pups, Em---I mean, Emily?

[Dante was this close from giving her a new nickname. He tends to do that with everyone.]

[medicative]

[not as though she'd mind. they're a nicknaming bunch, and by now she answers to Em almost as much as her full name.]

I've thought about it, but I don't know I'd be able to give a dog the right level of commitment. I work quite a bit - it wouldn't be fair to leave them cooped up at home alone.

[even if she does love them. some lives don't lend themselves to being pet owners, and even with her "free time," well.]

That's why I help him out. It's the experience without having to worry that they're lonely.

[demonrebel]

Yeah, you and me both. While business wasn't exactly booming at home, I hesitate to leave a dog at the office for too long.

[ Even though he's no mere paper pusher, Dante's profession doesn't allow for pets. Demons could easily rip a dog to shreds and despite his best efforts to keep the Devil May Cry vermin free, demons can sometimes sneak past his security measures. That's one of the reasons why he was so against having Patty stay with him years ago but Morrison convinced him otherwise.

The girl was the safest with him when those nasty demons came hunting for her. ]

From what I can tell, there's no such thing as a bad dog---only bad people.

[He doesn't even want to get into some of the horrific things he saw people do throughout his life, especially towards animals.]

I'm sure all the dogs at the shelter will get a second chance at least, especially if they're half as cute as Taro here.

[Mentioning Taro, the pup is already back to pawing at his leg.]
