.Elias' favorite time of the week, point blank, was the time he was able to spend at Wakalanoe Humane Society. Sure, he enjoyed his phlebotomy job well enough, but the dogs, man.They were so perfect he wanted to cry sometimes. There was a little beagle here and his name was Donut Hole and if that wasn't the cutest thing he ever heard he didn't know what was. He would kill and die for Donut Hole. Or any dog to be honest, he was not discriminatory. He was currently elbow-deep in a kennel, cleaning it and refilling the water while its inhabitant was out getting exercise. There were several long rows of kennels in this building, and his boss had promised to send the next free person she found to help him with this mildly daunting task. He could only hope that they showed up soon.

(Okay sorry I got caught up with some stuff after work) Kenzie has always been a dog person. She wasn't very into cats and would much rather spend her time with dogs. They were cute and sweet and fun. Plus they were better than people. That's why Kenzie found herself complaining to Lady the border collie about her lack of plans for Christmas as she brought the dog out to do her business. Lady looked up at Kenzie but then finished what she was doing and Kenzie brought her back into the kennel. As she moved on to see what she had to do next, she was intercepted by the boss and told to go help Elias with the kennel he was cleaning. "Of course," Kenzie said. She knew her coworker a little. They weren't best friends and didn't talk a ton, but she definitely found him more tolerable than some of the other volunteers. She made her way over to the assigned kennel and smiled when she saw him. "Your reinforcements have arrived," she announced, looking back as if she had an army behind her even though it was clearly just her. "So, where do you need me?" OrangeAxolotl

"Aw sweet, it's the calvary!" Elias crawled out from his current kennel, straightening up and then cracking his back. "I'm just making my way down the row, you wanna help?"
He stretched once more before refilling the water bowl and moving onto the next one.
He worked quietly for a few moments, humming aimlessly, before deciding to try and fill the silence with conversation. "So how's life treating you, Kenzie?"
OOC: It's all chill!

Kenzie grinned when she saw that Elias was excited for her help. She watched him crawl out from the kennel and nodded. "Sure," she said. When he moved on, she went to the kennel beside that one to start cleaning. She worked quietly, her mind wandering as she refolded the dog's blanket and refilled the water bowl before getting down to really scrubbing it. "Muffin is such a pig," she said, scrubbing at the floor of the kennel.
At his question, she shrugged. "Not bad, I guess. I've been pretty busy lately, but that's life. What about you? Any plans for Christmas?" she asked, knowing the holiday would be coming soon. Due to some money issues, she would not be flying out to visit her family this year and would instead probably raid the grocery store for some of her own Christmas treats.
(So speaking of dogs. I saw pictures of my friends new dog today and he is so cute I love him)

"Not really," Elias shrugged. "Gonna spend it at home." He didn't really wanna get into the multitude of issues that he had with his family. Namely the fact that they wouldn't get off his back about a girlfriend holy beans.
He wrinkled his nose. This dog evidently hadn't been put out when he needed to. He crumpled up the blanket and shoved it into a trash bag to take to the laundry later.
"Still, that means an awful Christmas movie marathon!" Try to look on the bright side. And some of those movies he could quote line for line.
OOC: !!!!! What's he like?

Kenzie smiled a bit at his answer. "Same," she said with a shrug. "I usually visit my family, but I don't have the money to this year. Plus my mom is having some health issues so they don't exactly have the time, money, or ability to come out here," she said.
"The cheesy Christmas romance types? My dad loves those," she said with a bit of a chuckle. "I'll definitely have to watch some this year. Then it'll be just like I'm home with him," she commented. She finished up her current kennel and moved to the next.
The work seemed to go a lot faster with the two of them and the conversation was making it go by even quicker.
(Well I've never met him but I saw a picture and he's adorable. He's a very good boy)

OOC: I love him, hhhh.
Also jeezy breezy I just hecking realized that Elias is actually muse A and he's the one that instigates the plot, I completely forgot that. I'll have to change a couple things and edit my posts real quick rifp.
It won't be anything major, just introspection so I can make Elias broaching the subject a little less out of the blue, but it also means that my response will be delayed even more because it's late rn.
