A lone, dark figure stalked aimlessly along the many alleyways of the enormous city, halting every once and a while to tilt his black head to the heavens and sniff the air. The large dog sighed heavily, almost boredly as he continued his journey through the complicated web of mazes that he had grown to know, almost by heart. As the brute came to a large, 10 foot fence in the path, he snorted in an agitated fashion before turning, and trudging off in a completely new direction, his large claws letting off a small echo of a thud as the black figure ambled along.
It had been two years. Two years since Daku had made this city his home. Of course, he had been taught not to dwell on the past, he knew all too well that it would never change…No matter how much he wanted it too.
Daku had been walking, for what seemed like hours. His full, black coat reeked with the pungent scent of a rotten chicken carcass, which he halfheartedly, wolfed down for breakfast that morning. But then again, it was better than getting nothing at all.
So long. The warm, loving feeling that he had felt so long ago. Some dogs would say he was cold; others would refer to him as a good-for-nothing mutt. This is one of the two main reasons he despised humans with a passion; Not only did they through him, and his mother out onto the street all those years ago, they decided that they needed to tie him to a streetlight near the center of the road during rush hour, causing him to loose most of his sight in his left eye in a bus accident. Again, he had been taught to ignore them, forget them, block out all of the insults that erupted from their foreign mouths… If you were ANY dog living out on the street, you knew that this was too much to ask of you…
The large brute frowned slightly as he thingyed his broad head to the side, all the while narrowing his brown orbs into small, slit like openings. Here it is again. Daku just stood there; still, watching coolly as a small dog’s cries could be heard echoing throughout the street, whimpering pitifully at times as it limped down the deserted sidewalk. Without so much as a second thought, the black dog turned on his heel and sauntered away, his cold expression never falling from it’s frowning state.
It has been too long.
((Uhg...I hope you forgive for the horrible intro... Not feeling to good right about now... XP ))

ooc || Beautiful intro, if I may say.. but I'm afraid wont be as nice.
bic || Sniffing intently at a turned over dumpster, the white femme eagerly scuffled through the garbage for food. Underneath all that fluffy, white hair was a somewhat underweight frame. Weighing in at a total 97 pounds, she was light for a pyrenees. Jerking her head out of the darkness abruptly as a sound of company reached her ears, which were perked intently. Turning herself, she jogged toward the main sidewalk, and turned her head, looking to the black brute coming toward her. Lifting her front paws breifly from the hot cement, she eyed the approaching male. thingying her head to one side, Harlequin started to sit down, but caught herself. She didn't know much about this brute, and was in no condition to defend herself if need be... Let alone with this sweltering heat.

As the large brute continued aimlessly on his long walk through town, he halted in his tracks as his dull orbs caught a bit of movement up ahead. The large dog lifted his head slightly, curiosity clearly getting the best of him. There, standing dirctly in front of him was a female dog. Now, Daku didn't really know much about feas', he couldn't really tell a girl dog if she looked good apon being asked...Because frankly, he didn't know. But something about this female made him think diferently, because aside from he obvious malnutrition, she looked like a dog strait from heaven.
Yeah, It sounded cheesy to him too.
But in his mind, that was the truth, and Daku had stuck to the truth throughout most of his life. "Hello miss..." The young dog spoke gruffly to the female, trying his hardest not to sound intimidating.
((I think your is just fine! XD ))

Harlequin smiled softly, and her tail curled at the end at the kind --non-threatening if anything-- word from the brujo before her, who (if you shaved off her hair) easily matched her height. "Hello." Her words were soft, and rather friendly for a dog so unsure of herself. She lifted her head, and gave a good hard shake, a few loose, white hairs flying in the wind. She re-coiled her tail over her back, and thingyed her head a bit in his direction. "What brings you here, if I may ask?" She asked, quietly and politley. Rather shy, if anything. Yes, that was Harlequin's desposistion. But she managed to survive the hot Florida sunshine despite her behaivior to not want to interact with dogs much.

The brute, who had been currently engaged with watching a nearby bird flutter around the females head, looked back to her sharply, "Huh?" Yep, that was Daku alright. He had a /slight/ distraction issue, that he could just not control. Yes, many dog could get agitated with this angering behavere...But hey, that was life with the Dessert dog. "Oh! Well, I was just taking a little walk around town..." The male stopped abruptly, realizing that he hadn't even told the female him name. "Oh, by the way, you can call me Daku." The young dog introduced himself lazily, his eyelids lowering until they were half open as he raised his eyebrown at the Great Pyrenees, resutling in a highly entertaining facial exspression to look at.

She smiled softly, hardley seeming to mind his 'distraction' issue. Being a rather patient dog for her kind... I dunno, I guess it was her breeding. "Daku, then." She said, nodding. "Pleased to meet you. I am Harlequin." She said politley, sitting back on her haunches. Tail still held over her back contently. Smiling a bit wider at his espression, before she yawned, and stretched here front paws, flexing her toes one at a time, and withdrew. Laying each foot delacaitley on the hot pavment. "Have you seen much of the city, already?" She asked. Snapping at a fly that buzzed around her head, but was more likley going for the fallen dumpster behind her. Oh well, snapping at flies was fun anyways. Her eyes held contact to the tiny insect momentarily, before returning her gaze politley to him. Her brown eyes focused on the figure before her.

The large brute shifted slightly in his sitting position, getting into a more comfortable pose. "Well, I've been walking for quite some time now..." The dog trailed off as he looked down at his large paws, now coated in dirt and random particles of debris. "I was actually just on my way to the ocean," Daku paused a moment, examining the female's frame carefully, "Are you new around here? I don't think I've ever seen you before..." The male shook his head indeferantly as he snapped out of his thoughts, looking back to the fea's face. "So, what do you say?" he continued with a flick of his full tail, indicating his question about the ocean he had asked earlier.

She smiled slightly, sniffling the air curiously. Eyeing him politley, following his gaze down to his paws and back. "I've lived in Florida all my life, but I suppose I can be considered new to these parts." She said, nodding softly. And smiled a bit by his question. Flattered, if anything. "And, that is very sweet of you to offer, Daku." She said with a small smile, and rose. A dried leaf falling from the hairs of her tail. She shook herself to rid herself of other street debris. They skittered down from her tail and skirt as she did so. Harlequin's eyes sparkled happily as she jogged down the cement towards him, her paws making the quietest of noise. She slowed. Smiling softly. "I would love to."

The dark male stiffended as he braced himself for her answer, almost as if he was sure it would be a direct turn-down...
It came out as the exact opposite if what he was expecting.
The young male blinked as he studied the females features, looking for the slightlest sign that she might be joking. Now, just because Daku had offered for the fea to join him, didn't exactly mean he thought she would actually say yes....
Quickly regaining his composure, the brute blinked before looking back towards the female. "Ok then, Harlequin, lets get going..." The young male smiled a crooked grin at the she-dog before heaving himself into a standing position with little effort. As he started forward, he swiveled his large head in the direction of the young fea, motioning for her to follow.

Questions flowed one by one through her mind, never had she been anywhere with a male(let alone any other dog, for that matter.) in her life. And was rather curious about the kind brute called Daku. Tail swishing, she moved in synch behing him, following obediently. "How far is it?" She asked him, tilting her head, looking straight ahed. A beetle who crawled over a nearby peice of gravel momentarily snagged her attention, before looking back to him for an answer. She'd never been to the beach before, but she assumed that the water would feel nice to her on this warm day. Probably for him, too. She smiled a bit at the thought. And turned her attention back to him.

The young male looked back over his sholder as the female came up behind him, her question resulting in a small grin that spread across the brute's face. "Well, we should be real colse..." The young dog paused as he continued down the nearly deserted streets of town. Daku smirked as they reached the end of the avenue that they were traveling on, satisfied with the result of their current location. "It's just strait ahead if you turn left after that grove of palms....We should be there in no time." The male turned to the female and smiled at her slighly, encurging her to walk just alittle further. Evey dog that Daku had known, long or short haired, had loved the calm feeling of stepping into the curulian water currents for the first time... And Harlequin, looked as if she was actually looking forward to the experience.
With one final dip of his massive carania, the brute started off at a slow run in the direction of the beach, hoping the fea would follow him for just a few more minutes... Or, atleast until they got to the beach.

Harlequin nodded in return to his words. She'd been to the beaches a few times in her life. Always seemed to forget where they were. But it was true, she was looking forward to the water- which she already knew would be cool and relieving from the summer heat. She watched as he picked up speed, his gait quickening. Flawlessly and easily she followed suit. Her big white paws thudding rhythmically along the sidewalk, the thick tufts of hair between the pads of her toes protecting her for the most part from the heat of the pavement. Following quickly and easily, her shoulders even with his hind legs as she carried herself swiftly alongside him. Her eyes darting about curiously, and contently. Tail carried high over her back, Harlequin Spotting the grove of palms he'd spoke of earlier.

As the young brute dashed grcefully through the deserted dtreets of town, he realized something that hadn't occered to him before...Since when hed he been so nice to someone? The question lingered momentarily in his mind as he neared the thick grove of palms that guarded the secrat entrance to the beach. Well, he for one didn't know where this sudden burst of plasentness had sprouted from...
With a final nod of his large carania, the young male slowed his pace to a trot before turning once more to the female, "Well, here we are...." The dog paused slightly before pushing his way through the thick tassles of the interwined vines that layered the beach. As he steped forward, Daku looked up, content with the familiar sight that lay before him.
Directly in front of the canine was a large plot of sand, opproximately 100 feet long in diamiter. The many tropical foilige gave this cirtain spot a feeling of secludedness, along with tranquility. The gentle waves of the cerulian hued water danced lazily as the tide drifted in and out of the beach's border....
