“I wouldn’t mind teaching you,” she said with a smile, glancing up from where she’d been focused on her clothing. Giving up on the fruitless task, she dropped the towel in a nearby pin and quickly picked up the mess she had made at the station. “You’ll need them, to be honest, Blue can get…” Jules paused, scrunching up her face as if she were searching for the right word. She settled for, “nosy. Especially if she thinks she can get away with misbehaving. If you know her commands she will be less rambunctious.”
Jules watched the apologetic way Owen handled the dog after the news of the small infection. She looked away before she was caught, continuing to shove things back into their proper spots but a small smile pulled at her mouth regardless. She was a sucker for dogs, as if that weren’t already obvious, but she was also a sucker for people who were nice to dogs. “Anytime,” she said in response to his gratitude.
With a nod of her head she indicated that they should follow her back to the storefront so she could get them squared away with payment. When she entered the building, Blue lifted her head, but didn’t move from her dog bed in the corner of the store. Jules waved at the dog but for the most part her attention was on Sai who was situated behind the counter.
“You just missed Dite,” he explained and Jules briefly pouted. “She said she’ll be back tomorrow with more of the peanut butter treats,” he continued and his boss instantly perked. “She only brought the pumpkin ones today and I told her the others were more popular.”
Julianna hummed her appreciate and Sai moved out of the way so she could get behind the counter and finish her task. They moved around each other easily, clearly used to trying to work in the same space, not that it was terrible difficult given Jules’ small stature. Sai placed Odin’s paperwork back on the counter, before offering another silent nod to Owen and disappearing out the back door.
“He gets...friendlier,” Jules offered as if she needed to explain Sai’s lack of greeting. Which she only felt necessary since she was entirely too verbose. “With time.” All in all she doubted it mattered to Owen, who himself was not very talkative, but if the trio were going to work together it was nicer to circumvent the possibility that Owen had already done something to offend Sairus.
She shifted on her feet as she tapped distractedly at the keyboard. At most she appeared to be waffling over something in her head. She glanced at Owen over the computer monitor. “So, you mentioned you needed someplace to stay?” she ventured, carefully. Timid in the face of how weird her offer was going to sound. “There’s a guest house further back on the property. It’s private, the woods separate it from me and the kennels. It’s not perfect, and it needs some work, but there’s electricity and water and furniture. If you’re interested. Obviously, if you have something else lined up don’t worry about it.” Her words trailed one another too close together as she reached the end of her sentence and her gaze darted back to the computer screen. It had sounded weird, very weird and now he was probably very put-off by her.
“It just might be easier than staying at a inn in town.” She finished suddenly.
