GOYLE, Gianna Violet

Jace didn't like the rain. He didn't hate it, but he wasn't all that fond of it. The only time he thought the rain wasn't so bad was when he was in the warmth of his home, staring out at it from behind his window. Right now, he was in the middle of Aryn park, sat beneath an old Oak tree, a shelter he'd been forced to take when a light drizzle had suddenly become a heavy downpour. He glared up at the skies, the corners of his mouth twisting down into a mild frown. He wouldn't be sat here now, held prisoner by the rain, if he hadn't decided to make a detour across the park for Talia. He'd be at home, nice and dry, eating dinner and watching crap day time TV. This is your fault. he grumbled, turning his gaze from the sky and to his companion. She looked up from where she was laying at his side, her head rested on her large paws, and whined in response, thumping her tail against the ground.

Talia, his German Shepherd, hated the rain just as much as he did, if not more. The only reason he was putting up with being sat beneath a tree instead of attempting the twenty minute walk home, was because of her. He knew that there would be no moving her whilst the rain was falling so heavily. When it came down to rain, Talia was nothing if not stubborn. It was hard enough getting her to go outside when it was only drizzling out, never mind a full blown downpour. Which meant that for now, they were stuck. It was a pain in the ass, but there wasn't much he could do about it unless he planned on dragging her home, and that wasn't an option. Jace was many things but cruel to animals. He could have carried her. She was a big girl but he was strong enough that he could lift her with ease. Except he had his bags of groceries and, well, he didn't really to have to lug around a wet dog. Talia would only struggle and whine until he found some shelter anyhow.

With a defeated sigh, he dropped his head back against the trunk of the tree and stared out at the falling rain. In all honesty, he didn't mind being stuck here. Of course he would rather have been at home, but he couldn't complain. The tree was large enough that it provided them with more than enough shelter, so they weren't getting wet and it wasn't like he had anything better to do with his day anyway. Leaning over, he reached into one of the three grocery bags and pulled out a cereal bar. He was starving and since he didn't know how long he was going to be sat here, (not for long he hoped) he needed to eat. Unwrapping it, he broke off the end and held it out for Talia, who ate it up with a wag of her tail. Grinning, he lightly scratched behind her ear, taking a bite of his own from the bar.
