WHO: Travis and Deb Lily (NPC)
WHERE: RV Camp
WHEN: February 17, 2015
WHAT: Lily turns 8. Trav and Deb think she deserves a doge.
Travis slept in one of the empty neighboring RVs the night before. Not because he was in trouble or on the outs with Deb, but because he didn’t want to leave Lily’s birthday present on his own the whole night. Under pretense of having to spend all night working in the infirmary, Travis felt reasonably confident the girl had no idea what she was in for. It was raining when he made his way across the campsite to his own RV with the dog. Pouring rain, which wasn’t ideal birthday weather by his standards, but that was what happened when a kid had a birthday during the wet season. The dog tugged lightly on his lead, obviously sensing the excitement in the air. Travis noted with amusement that the dog seemed to be trying to restrain himself at the same time. It was a nod to the training given by the previous owner. Not flawless by any means; the dog was essentially a teenager and still prone to rebellious moments, but it was a start. Travis wasn’t as worried as he would’ve been had this dog been a young pup. With Deb off on a mission to hastily bake a birthday cake or something similar, it was left to Travis to keep the girl distracted for a few hours. With a new dog as a present, Travis doubted he’d have any trouble there. He had the dog sit between the driver’s and passenger’s seat beneath Lily’s bed, shushing him before straightening up to peer into the girl’s little nook. He put a hand on her side and tickled her. “Wake up,” he said softly. “Waaaake up. Can’t have you sleeping through your birthday.” |
