ANIMAL ADOPTION DAY
ALL ADOPTIONS FREE FROM 10AM-4PM. FIRST VET VISIT FREE WITH SHEA COOPER, DVM.
BOOTHS, FOOD, PRIZES, AND MORE! SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 2014 AT SIREN COVE BEACH PARK.



Coop's satisfied with the turnout today. He's been working on this event with Dylan for weeks and now that he's had the chance to talk to Les about what's going on with Joel, he feels a little more at ease. Not by a lot, friend-devouring demon on the loose and what not, but still, knowing they have some extra help has proven to be better for his sleeping patterns.

Besides, it's kind of hard to let his mind wander to darker things like that when he's watching kids points out their favorite puppies and kitties and bunnies and begging their parents for the chance to take them home. He's seen familiar faces and met brand new ones, a majority of them eager to get his advice on what's best to feed their new family addition, what the best heartworm medication is, what the best grooming tips are, all sorts of shit that he answers with ease with a giant grin on his face because this is what he loves doing. Watching little fluffballs bring joy to people's faces, it never gets old.

He can see Dylan assisting a couple with one of their older gals, a four-year-old Basset called Hettie who's the sweetest thing but hasn't had much luck in finding a forever home. Coop watches with a faint smile, pleased at the attention the dog's so deservedly getting, and doesn't really register that someone's tapping on his shoulder until it starts to feel more like they're jabbing him. He turns with a raised eyebrow, smile still intact because he's nice like that.

"Hi, yeah, what can I do ya for?"

"I think adoption days kind of work with the idea of there being pets that don't belong to anyone just yet."

Luke tries to have a look at the pup. "He's going to be gorgeous though. Are you sure about your cat? Were you even talking about a real 'cat'?"

[satore]

"Yes, Macchia is a real cat. Macchia is my familiar so as cute as this pup is, he has to stay unless Macchia likes him. Familiar's are more important than pets after all," Tonio replied before grinning wickedly at Luke. "And speaking of gorgeous, bello when are you going to let me take you home?"

[techwitch]

"You have a familiar? That's amazing, how did you find her? I mean - I know it's different for every witch, but I just never met a witch with a familiar before. I always expected not to find one because my magic is so electrics-focused b-"

He heard the next comment. "Ha. Haha. Yes, sure, of course. Like I need a bigger hole to dig myself into. I -" Maybe it kind of was a really good idea, although it might break his parents' hearts. Maybe it was time for them to realize they didn't know him a 100%.

"Are you going to do the cooking?"

[satore]

"Him. Macchia is a tomcat. He's a Satore cat, he's from one of the litters. Our family has always had cats," Tonio replied with a small smile. He knows there magics are different, Tonio could always tell and even if he couldn't his zio could and would mutter it under his breath. It didn't matter now of course, Tonio couldn't do anything with it. "If you want me to but I can think of more pleasurable ways to put my hands to good use."

[techwitch]

"Oh. Apologies to Macchia-" Luke was sure he mangled that name. "and his masculinity. If cats mind such things. We never had pets. Python is my first, and he's probably not a very regular pet. My mother's allergic to cat and dog hair, so I had to work my way around it."

No, it was not a good idea. "You don't like to cook?"

[satore]

"I'm never sure if you are talking about your pet or your... when you say your python. I'd love to meet your python," Tonio said, implication in the look he gave poor Luke as he hoped to fluster him. "I can cook, I prefer to do other things."

[techwitch]

"I prefer to not discuss my eh-" He lowered his voice. "Penis in public, if that's what you're implying. I always very much am talking about my python when I'm discussing my python."

"Even when you invited someone offer for dinner?"

[satore]

"I was talking about your... snake of course," Tonio replied with a grin before taking a step closer to Luke to fluster him. "Though I'm always eager to meet your 'snake' as well. Ah bello, when I said dinner... I meant dinner. But we can do both, can't we?"

[techwitch]

Really, Luke tries hard not to be uncomfortable. Tonio's blatant use of bad jokes reminds him of Nancy, of Iris, the few other women that after Shelly's okay circled him like he was some prime specimen.
But he doesn't quite manage yet.

"I can really only do one thing at the time", he admits.

[satore]

"You wouldn't need to do anything, you could simply sit back and relax and enjoy your meal while I do all the hard work." Tonio replied, grinning at him as he reached out to touch Luke's hip. Chastely of course but Tonio was standing very closely to him like he was a wolf about to pounce.

[techwitch]

"Tonio."

He tenses up. "You know that here in the USA people don't touch each other so freely. And I'd be an awful guest if I wouldn't at least help you out with the dishes or something. We'll see, okay? Is that okay with you?"

[satore]

"You know if you wish me to stop then all you have to do is say so," Tonio replied, rubbing Luke's side before dropping his hands away. "And bello, I wasn't talking about cooking when I was talking about doing all the hard work. But if you want to help me clean up after then I wouldn't object."

[techwitch]

".. right."

"So why are you here if you can't adopt any animal?" Luke scratches his collarbone. "Or will you support the pound in other ways?"

[satore]

"Relax bello, I'm not going to jump you here." Tonio said as Luke looked ready to freak out at him. "Ah, here with some of my family. Just because I can't adopt, doesn't mean they can't."

[techwitch]

"I - " Luke tries to remember how to breathe. "I don't expect you to do any such thing. And that's a nice gesture of you."

[satore]

"Don't you? Well, you should if you come.... for dinner." Tonio drawled with a grin as he noticed Luke's hesitation. "What keeping my family company? No gesture needed, they're family."

[techwitch]

"Not all people think about it like that."

He's going to ignore the subject completely, it's best for his sanity. "Some would work hard to ignore them and avoid them in any way possible. But maybe that's ..I'm sure an Italian cliché is about family."
