Grinning at his acknowledgement of Atlas, Ash reached down and ran her fingers behind the large dog's ears. She didn't have to reach far. After all, the dog came up to her chest. "Atlas is my big ball of floof, aren't you buddy?" She bent down to press a kiss to the dog's head as he gave a loud, deep bark in reply and she chuckled.
Of course, at his response to her introduction, she blinked. He knew her? Alenko... Alenko...
She stopped as another flash of memory played across her mind. Still foggy and unable to be grasped. He had a younger brother he said. One she went to school with. Alenko...
Yeah. His brother had been there that night. Had he? She couldn't remember.
"Oh, well, I guess this makes the introduction unneeded then, doesn't it?" Watching him, she couldn't help but notice the little things. Dark eyes. Full lips. Easy on the eyes, that was for sure. And he seemed to be nervous as he ran his palm over his arm. There was something there...
"If you want, you can jog with us. Atlas won't growl at you anymore." She'd made sure he was well trained.
