Having a puppy means having to keep it entertained seemingly at all hours of the day and night. Fortunately, she knows others of her cohort that acquired the pup's littermates, so arranging playdates is actually rather easy. The puppies meet, play a lot, get tired out, and actually sleep through the night! Well... That's how it's supposed to work, at least. It happens about every third time in Odessa's experience. (Maybe that's the charm?)

When she arrives at the park at the agreed time, she's already fairly exasperated. She just hasn't quite gotten the young animal used to teleportation just yet; it tends to spook her. Odessa isn't entirely sure she can blame the creature, but it does mean she walked from Mafaton in heels. The things she'll do to feel comfortable in her own skin. And for the love of her dog.
