ninth hit; action

[inadvertently]

Does anyone have any hair dye? [ a certain someone's roots are showing like crazy. ] I think I could use a haircut too. [ somewhere off screen and further back, JD the dog gives a wheezy bark. Shizuo turns away for a second. ] You probably could too, huh?

Anyway. The name's Heiwajima Shizuo. If you've got any let me know.

[ and throughout the day, the fortissimo of ikebukuro can be seen running a few quick errands. laundry, grocery shopping, even the occasional pause at the fountain to shoot it a dirty look.

that evening, he can be found in the bar with his sad, sorry looking mutt trotting at his heels. don't be surprised if the animal sits at your table and watches you in hopes that you've got some scraps to give him. ]

... Zack was taking care of him when all of us were off on the draft, right? He was still there at our house when I got back.

[ And thus comes the indication that she's that girl (or one of them) that lives with the dude she came in looking for. If Shizuo didn't already know that at least in part; if Zack's managed to keep his mouth completely shut about his girlfriend, she'll be ... shocked. ]

Oh.

Yeah, I guess that explains it. [ he just gives a small nod. ]

[ What do you get when you throw together two people not really prone to idle talk? This, apparently. Lightning's silent for a second or two, staring, then just steps back, making a beckoning gesture at her dog. ]

Well, if you see him, make sure to tell him I'm looking for him. C'mon Baldr.

[ YEP. BYE, SHIZUO. ]
