Wound cared for, with a few sneaky "make it better" kisses from the puppy, and Kane was back on his feet. Waddles was keeping a fair distance from the whole business. The puppy dog was a bit too large for Waddles' preference. Instead, the rockhopper chirped happily to himself and examined what pebbles he could find in the short, stubby grass that grew around the kennels. Kane himself, had a good sense that Waddles was happy and there was no need to intervene on that front. He lowered one knee to the grown for balance, and held out his arms for the puppy, Sasha, to jump into. The puppy was happy to oblige and Kane was showered in more, "I LOVE YOU FOREVER" kisses on the cheek. Then, he set Sasha down, fished a bright yellow polka-dotted handkerchief from his back pocket and deftly wiped puppy spit off his clean-shaven cheeks. "So you'd like to know what Lucy was up to?" and Kane gave Luke a sly smile. A, "maybe I'll tell you, and maybe I'll make you wait" sort of grin. He slid over to Luke, leaned against the same kennel and crossed his arms in the exact same way. "Well, since you asked. She asked her dad for money. It always begins that way. Gods above, Lucy's got access if you know what I mean. Anyway. She got some money, and went out to far side of town and got--" He left it hanging there and glanced over at Luke to gauge his BFF's anticipation level. Luke could play it cooler than most lads their age, but Kane knew him more than well enough to know when he'd got Luke hooked on a story. They'd been this way since they were kids. Kane, telling elaborate (mostly true stories), and long, well-spun tales of sumptuous gossip, pausing every so often to draw it out until Luke couldn't take it anymore and was practically begging to hear the rest. Well, "practically begging" was an exaggeration, but Kane exaggerated. A lot. All the time. "Okay, well anyway," Kane pushed his slim frame glasses up his nose and relaxed into a more comfortable position. Let the cool kids keep up their cool kid's pose. The scrawny kids were content to let their arms dangle, or in some case's, like Kane's, skinny arms were perfect for dramatic story re-creations. "Got herself inked." And, in case Luke didn't get it. Kane pantomimed drawing on his arm with his finger. Then he frowned a little, subconsciously watching for Luke's reaction. None of them had gotten tattoos yet. At least, Kane hadn't and he hadn't seen Luke with any. For Lucy to get ballsy and do it without them around hurt a little bit. They were a tight knit group of friends and hardly did anything without another knowing. He sighed a little, the excitement of storytelling wearing off. "Then she told me, just this morning, that's when she showed me. She said 'it was about time she got it done.' Like she's all grown up now or something that she's got a tattoo. Didn't even ask about us, or anything."
