[He and Aubrey had only met briefly and at random after the odd things had started. Cù Sìth didn't like those odd things either. It made it very hard to work (and play tricks on the children that came in). He had to use all his focus on behaving, on not getting distracted. Was it distractions that made these things happen? He couldn't quite figure it out but not letting things get to him and behaving monotonously help.
Until, hours after he had met with Aubrey, he found himself somewhere very dark. It wasn't cramped at all, a rather spacious walk-in, but it did smell a lot like shoes from where he was sitting. Contrary to what some might thing, he didn't want to chew them up. A hound he had been but he was a human now. He had some limits. But he did kind of want to bury them. Tie them up at random if he could. Pull some of the laces out as well.
And with that in mind, he got to work, uncaring of how he got there for now or even whose closet it was.
When weird stuff happened, the best response was to hang out with someone who was just as weird- namely CuCu. Not that Aubrey knew that he was Cu Sith, but whatever. Details, small details that didn't matter for now. The fact is they had been playing when Aubrey had decided shoving Cu Sith was a good idea- the next moment the hound had vanished and she had begun shrieking bloody murder all the way back to her place.
In fact she was close to hyperventilating. Who to call? Jim? Her father? She had just made someone disappear into thin air- that was basically murder, wasn't it? Oh god it was. She took a deep breath and called 911. "Hello? I would like to report a missing person-"
While it started coherent it dissolved into hysterical rambling and shrieking... that could easily be heard from inside her closet.
In the midst of tying a boot to the inside of a jacket, he paused to listen to that noise, curious of why it was happening. It didn't sound familiar at first, him being unused to Aubrey sounding so genuinely panicked. But as he listened, it did sink in. Before doing anything else, he finished what he was doing and then moved to nudge open the closet door.
"Stop being so loud."
And it was one of those moments that should've been video recorded and sent to America's Top 10 videos. Aubrey started, too startled and then she shrieked and threw the phone at him (the phone that turned into a duck as it left her hand).
Feathers, shoes, and swearing like no-tomorrow. It was a special moment.
There had been something beautiful about her aim. He saw it coming but it was coming in too fast and it struck him right between the eyes. He yelped and clasped both hands over his face while stepping right back into the closet. Karma had been waiting for him with one of Aubrey's nicer boots right behind one foot. And backwards he went, down on a pile of heels.
This day sucked. So much.]
