The other two men of the group probably would have noticed how Griffen reacted around them. It wasn't so much in awe as he was more than a little intimidated by them. He would retreat carefully when he thought he could get away with it and often he did since he was a crafty man. But his dog had been begging for attention all day.

The beagle Zelbar had wiggled and squirmed all morning so Griffen had gotten a base ball bat and a bucket of tennis balls. He would toss one up into the air and hit it with as much force as he could. The ball would go flying and Zelbar would chase after it and sometimes he would bring it back sometimes he wouldn't.

The point was this was the most relaxed he had been since the fourth. Sydney somehow had been a soothing presence for him that day and he had been unguarded that day. He liked how professional she could be as well as how she was with Zoey. It was nice. Now he was very relaxed through with his dog around so it was unlikely there would be any carefully planned retreats from the two godling men if they happened to seek him out.

A ball flies by, bouncing off the ground a few feet away, and bouncing further along, attracting Zelbar's attention.

Ohu approaches, a basket in his hand filled with tennis balls.

"I found some of the missing balls," he offers as he approaches. "Unfortunately, one fell into the realm of the Lava Men, and they have already begun worshiping it, so it didn't feel right to take it from them. I hope you don't mind."

He grins at Griffen as he steps up to his teammate.

Zelbar had shot off after them. The classic white tip of his tail was up in the air altering Griffen and Ohu to where he was.

Griffen blinked and realized that now there was no excuse to retreat. He did though find himself grinning back.

"Lava men? Well, we can't deny them a new thing to keep them entertained. It would be bad, right?" He watches as Zelbar comes running back wiggling away as he drops off a ball. "No I don't mind at all."

He reaches down to pet his dog who just looks pleased with himself. See? He has a ball. Now to destroy it with his teeth! Nom nom nom.

"I thought it would be a bad idea to inspire them to invade the surface world to retrieve every tennis ball of the surface. But I could understand if they chose to worship the Williams sisters." He takes a seat beside Griffen and produces an apple, seemingly from nowhere, and takes a juicy bite, shaking his head a little at the thought of the two tennis players.

He glances at the happy dog, and points at the ball he's chewing on. The ball lets out a sudden squeak as the dog's teeth squeeze in on it.

"I trust you don't mind giving friend Zelbar a little extra treat of the senses."

The dog looks thrilled with that. Griffen looks surprised but entertained by the sight. Somehow he forgot to be nerved up. Zelbar was the best way to ease his tension, the dog followed him all over the cabin and tried to follow him into the labs.

"I wouldn't blame them either. They're pretty and well respected as athletes. Why not worship them for that?" He decided to take Ohu's tales in stride. He never knew what was real anyways. "I don't mind. I think it's neat for him. He likes things that make noise but rubber balls don't have the bounce tennis balls do."

	"If you like, we can quest for the perfect toy for your brave warrior dog," he smiles, then takes another bite of his apple. "I'm sure we would inspire many tales..." he suggests around bits of apple, "or perhaps tails?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Quest? That has Zelbar's ears perked right up. Griffen can't help but laugh.

"Sure. We can go to one of the bigger pet stores around here. I need to see if they can set up an account with us to deliver good feed for all of the other animal companions we have here," Griffen says with a calm but friendly nod. "The places I like goig to let you bring your dogs in with you. What better way to find a good toy for him?"

Zelbar agrees with a bark and a full body wiggle.

	"Do we want to see if Halbjorn wants to come with us?" He'll have to get them to wear the 'mortal' clothing he had acquired for them. Then call a taxi that allowed pets. He did not fancy the idea of explaining that he was afraid of driving like ever, maybe they would understand. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Friend Halbjorn is always welcome!" Ohu replies. At least Ohu wears modern clothing... even if his fashion sense is a bit... flashy. "Shall I retrieve the Asgardian while you prepare yourself for this adventure?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	At least Griffen's sometimes poor taste in fashion is covered up by that. "Yes, thank you." He'd call a taxi service for them and get Zelbar's leash. (Reply to this)(Parent)
