A/n: I got stung three times on the same damn finger by wasps and now it's difficult to type. not that you guys need to know that...Here's today's bread crumb.
"How's bonding with VR-M248 coming?" the doctor said while giving the raptor her check up. "She's growing nicely." The baby velociraptor's tail was swishing back and forth while staring at the doctor intensely, more specifically at the needle in the man's hand.
"Blue," Owen emphasized, "is doing well. She's a smart girl."
"Velociraptors are rather intelligent. Comparatively."
"Blue's really picking up training quickly. I swear she really understands me sometimes." Blue stepped back from the doctor as the needle approached and hissed. Her foot met air at the edge of the stainless steel table and she realized she couldn't back up any further unless she wanted to fall off.
Before she could decide to just take a leap of faith, Owen scooped her up and held her still with his hand muzzling her while making fail comforting noises. She struggled and shrieked before being let go.
"There. That wasn't so bad was it girl?" The raptor squawked and huffed at him, eyes promising pain in the near future. "It was either that or sedation Blue. Then you'd be all drugged up for the rest of the day." The little dinosaur snorted and then gave a deadly glare towards him and the doctor before quieting.
"That's the first time I've seen anyone grab one of the carnivores like that. I was almost too shocked to administer the shot," the doctor commented.
"Yeah, well. I can only do that because she only comes up to my knees right now. I'd imagine that move would be a little more suicidal when she's full grown." The animal trainer threw a dead mouse into a pet carrier and watched as Blue instantly ran into it to chase after her prey.
When Kagome scooped her white, furry treat up into her little jaws, she paused for a split second before whipping around to watch as the carrier's door clicked shut. 'Dammit! Why do I keep falling for that!'
