meiko let the warm fire awake her cold bones. it was always rather old in kirigakure and her outfit didn't help matters, but she was glad she would have a warm fire to sit next to before she had to go out again. she sat before the fire for about five minutes before getting up to leash another five dogs, these ones a bit younger than the dog's before, but she would be able to deal with it, especially if she didn't run into any other animals again, which was highly unlikely. so, opening the door, she walked out onto the streets with the dogs.
the bad part about this time is by now everyone had stirred from the deep slumber the night had brung and were out and about. kids headed toward the academy, but meiko knew that would not stop them from coming around and petting the dogs on their way to school, a bright start to their early morning. so, almost as soon as she rounded the corner she was bombarded by a group of acdemy children who began to pet and coo at the dogs, one even feeding one of the dogs a piece of stale bread they found in their pocket. meiko smile as she saw the dogs friendly licking at the children's hands and fingers, trying to also lick at their faces.
a few moments later the children waved their goodbyes and meiko could now take back off on her journey around the block. several people waved at her as she walked the dogs and, being polite, she waved back with a warm smile covering her face. as she rounded the corner back to mrs. bunya's house, apparently one of the dogs caught sight or smell of a cat in a nearby alley and began to tug hard and wild on the leash, causing the other dogs to do the same. these ones were a bit stronger and managed to make meiko fall on her knees, skinning them a bit before she pushed herself up to her feet and began dragging them. could this get any worse? probably, but for her sake it didn't and she managed to get the dogs inside. mrs. bunya was in the kitchen, baking cookies and had the girl sit down and cleaned out her wound and bandaged it as she sat before the fire, even colder than previous.
