Seriously?

_{[Hold up, he and Dorothy have co-custody of yet another dog in Reims? That seems like it's deserving of more questions, but before any of that, he knows one thing for sure--]}

Yeah! _{[Translation: hell yEAH!!!!!]} Can I?

[scarecrowed]

i am serious.

i wouldn't be mentioning him if you couldn't. where are you now? i'll bring him to you.

[waystation]

_{[He smiles at Lucas' answer to his rhetorical expression. If he's serious, Jake's serious. Seriously stoked.]}

I'm at home. I'll open the door for you.

This must be Toto, right? Any friend of Dorothy's is welcome to come over.

[scarecrowed]

you know toto?

[ How does everyone know Toto?

Oh, right, that legend Tetora mentioned. ]

which house is yours?

[waystation]

Dorothy told me about him.

_{[And also, yeah, the story...]}

I think we're beside each other. I'm in 11.

[scarecrowed]

she's fond of him.

i was beside you before but not now. i accepted one of the permanent apartments.

[ Perhaps they can talk about that later though. ]

I'll wait outside. [ Since he can't exactly knock on the front door. Soon enough, he'll be stood outside on the porch of Jake's house, a german shepherd sat obediently by his feet - not that Lucas had anything to do with how well he's been trained. He's a former police dog, so he knows how to behave. He's also friendly enough that Dorothy would rest her head on Toto's stomach when sleeping on the ground, like a pillow. ]

[waystation]

You, too. You say he won't leave you alone, but I think you want to show him off a little. Am I close?

I didn't know you moved, though.

<sub>[That's news to him. Lucas moving into the apartments explains why he hasn't seen him walking Toto around the area so far--and it definitely raises questions worth talking about. Like... does Lucas actually want to be a part of the community here?

Jake stows that for now. It'll be easier to talk inside.]</sub>

Sweet, I'll grab the door. See you soon.

<sub>[And sure enough, as soon as he puts the phone down Jake camps by the front door and peers out the window like an excited dog himself, awaiting the arrival of man and four-legged friend. Glad as he is Lucas thought to visit him, Jake can't help but reserve an extra big smile for the German Shepherd that comes trotting up the walk. Wow, Lucas wasn't kidding. That's sure a dog.

Jake pulls the door open for them, waving to both. Once the door's securely closed, he turns on them.]</sub>

Hey. Come in. He's big. I don't know why, I was expecting something... smaller.

_{[No tiny Toto like in the movie, that's for sure.]}
