Snippets from "The Sergeant" universe. Random stuff that doesn't really fit into the main story. Bits of everyday life, and the challenges that come with owning a dog. Er, balverine.
I Missed You
Reaver sighed in contentment, the warmth from the concrete at his back seeping through his shirt. The statue in the center of the mansion courtyard, he had found, made a marvelous perch. There was just the right combination of shade and sunlight, the flowers were sweet and the wind was far cleaner then in the town proper. Oh yes, it was one of the many reasons Reaver loved his little coastal paradise.
"SMILES NO!"
The pirate had just enough time to register he was no longer alone before the wind was knocked out of his lungs and the world went fuzzy.
"Damn it Smiley."
Reaver blinked, his mind taking a moment to register what was in front of his face. Fur, white as the snow. Frowning, he trailed his eyes upwards, catching sight of a snout inches from his forehead. "Do you mind?"
The massive head shifted, yellow eyes appearing in front of his face. The balverine cocked his head and whined.
"Whatever it is, the answer is no. Do you understand? No. Now get off."
The balverine ignored him, continuing to give the pirate puppy eyes. Reaver scowled back.
"Oh Sparrow, dear."
The hero's head appeared, the flush in his cheeks signaling he'd probably sprinted through the entire town.
"Uh, yea?"
"What exactly, is it your beastie wants?"
Sparrow glanced over at his pet before grinning sheepishly at Reaver. "I think he missed you while we were gone. Soon as the town came into view he took off, didn't stop till, well, now."
"Ah."
Reaver waited, watching the two of them. Sparrow was smirking down at him, finding far more amusement in the situation then he should have.
"Well?" He paused, waiting for some sort or reaction. All he got was a blank look and a raised brow. The pirate gritted his teeth. ""Get. Him. Off of me. NOW."
Smiley's ears snapped back, head moving away at the sudden outburst. A look of comprehension clicked onto Sparrow's face. "Ah, right. Sorry, mate."
The hero grabbed onto the balverine's collar and yanked. "Up boy, time to let the big bad Pirate King go, we've won. Yea."
Reaver rolled his eyes as the massive beast was pulled away, sitting back on his haunches so he could continue to stare eerily at his quarry. Sparrow offered his hand, and after eyeing it for a moment, Reaver took it. The hero pulled him easily to his feet, swiping at the dirt that had attached itself to his back.
"You're alright yea? He didn't crush anything?"
Reaver huffed. "Hardly. It'll take more than an oversized dog to do anything more then get me dirty."
Sparrow rolled his eyes and patted Reaver lightly on the shoulder. "Right." Spinning lightly on his heel, the hero leapt easily up the stairs, calling to his pet monster over his shoulder.
Unfortunately, the Sergeant decided he wasn't ready to coop himself up.
"DAMN IT SPARROW,GET THIS BLOODY IMBECILE OFF OF ME!"
The Hero of Bowerstone sighed in exasperation, eyes skyward. "Smiles, damn it, how many times do we have to bloody go through this?"
a/n: I have plenty of ideas for this, but if anyone has any suggestions, anything really random they'd love to see done, hit me up and I'll see what I can do. Anything goes for the most part. D
