*Rusty starts to lick Emma's face and the other children look a bit scared*
"He's just trying to rattle you." says Ray.
*Emma giggles from being licked*
"Let me show the results of our training." Pigs says to Femme.
*Pigs stands up, produces a small ball, and walks to the group*
"Do you want to play fetch?"
The children cheer and Rusty yips excitedly. Emma gently places him down.
"Sit." Rusty sits. "Wait. Now throw the ball gently, like this." Pigs tosses the ball gently and doesn't go far. Already he's pointing to a spot ahead of him. Rusty chases the ball, grabs it with his mouth once it stopped rolling, and returns to the spot where Pigs is pointing, then drops it from his mouth. "Good boy!" Pigs pets Rusty, and hands the ball to another child for her to try. She does the same, with the same results.
Shini is watching from the sidelines, plotting, scheming.
