Kadin took another break to let his houluh rest and the runner, too. He'd been doing a lot of work with all of the different creatures here in the garden and he wanted to make sure they all had a good rest before he got to it again. He took the runner and one of the houluh home so that he could just concentrate on having one of them with him instead of all of them like he had had before. This time he wanted it to be more focus on Acorn, specfically, as he wanted to be able to get her to reach her full potential sooner rather than later. He wasn't too worried about being able to achieve this, but he wanted to take his time wiht her and make sure they were properly bonded before moving her forward too quickly and potentially messing everything up instead of doing what he wanted.

So he came back to the gardens with only himself and Acorn, no one else around to bother them and disturb the peace so that he could properly concentrate on her and get here where he felt that she needed to be before all was said and done. He watched the houluh play around by herself. Sghe didn't seem to mind not having companions too much, which was good. He didn't want to feel guilty about having her out here by herself whent he whole point was that he could bond with her without any really big distractions like they had been dealing with before when they had the other creatures out here with him. Instead he could just concentrate on her and nothing else, which was easier as a whole and was more focused so he didn't have to worry about anyting else happening or messing up what he was trying to do.

Not that he was trying to do anything particularly special, just playing with Acorn while there weren't any other distractions around. he took out some toys and tried to tempt her with them. She had been sniffing around, off in her own little doggy world, so she hadn't really noticed that he was trying to get her attention until there was a toy practically right in her face. She had liked playing with the other creatures before, but she was also fine to play by herself or with something else. She wouldn't mind if she was to play with something completely different from Kadin or any of the stuff he had with him. When he took out the toy, she had been exploring on her own, completely unconcerned with what was going on around her. when he had the toy in front of her, she suddenly noticed it because it was RIGHT there.

Now that she finally noticed it of COURSE she wanted to play with him! Acorn yipped in delight and bounced towards Kadin and the toy, tail wagging madly. It was a good toy! It was a rope inside a stuffed animal so there were so many places where she could bit andf she could play tug with it all she wanted to because it was built for it and looked like ti wasn't going to break! Kadin had chosen a good toy, she was ALL over it once she realized that it actually existed. Kadin had to hold back a laugh as she went after it. she was growling playfully, snapping at the toy or at least the air around it while Kadin played a bit of keep away with her. She didn't loose her determination! She wanted to get that toy! So she chased after it, growling and barking about it.

She really wanted to get that toy! Kadin was loving her enthusiasm for it. he didn't want to discourage her, either, so after a little bit of keep away he finally let her catch it, teeth sinking in to the plush part of the toy with a playful growl as she grabbed onto it and didn't let go. She was having a ton of fun playing this game! Now it was time for tug! she LOVED tug! She ramped up the growls, tugging fiercely to try and get the toy away from the human. Kadin was a bit surprised by how strongly she was able to pull on it, but at the end of the day, she was only a puppy. she couldn't get it away from him unless he let her. So he played tug with her, building up her excitement as he tugged back and teased her, not really trying to break her grip.

She continued growling playfully and acting like she was havin a great time. Pleased with this, Kadin eventuially "lost" his grip on the toy, making a big deal about dropping it while she viciously tugged it away. She immediately started shaking her head like crazy, trying to kill the toy that she had just won to the best of her ability. Look at her go! Kadin stayed where he was, sitting on the grass, shaking his head at her antics. She went around pracing around where he sat, shaking her head and holding up the oty in trumph at her victory, beyond pleased with herself. It was very amusing to see, especially since he knew that he had let her win, bvut he was going to let her have the victory as it built up her confidence and he liked to see that from her. He let her have this for a while.

He wanted her to be happy and confident while they worked on other things, too, adn this was a good way tot build that up for her. After he felt like she had celebrated enough and she started to act like she wanted to play keep away from him, Kadin rbought out another toy and showed it to her. It was basically the same toy, just a slightly different color, and she was immediately intereste din it. event hough she had the same toy in her mouth already, this was ANOTHER toy and HE had it so clearly SHE wanted to have it since someone else had it already. That was how this worked! She wanted it really bad! She came over to Kadin, tail wagging madly and toy still in her mouth, to try and get the new toy from him, but she was already holding a toy in her mouth!

She quickly dropped the toy that she was holding so that she could snatch up the one that he had, grabbing it and tugging on it fiercely to try and get it away from him. Kadin had to hold back another laugh at this, she clearly had a one track mind and anything that he had she would want. This was definitely a good thing if he wanted to keep up this game for a while. While she wasn't looking, he grabbed the toy thayt she had dropped and hid it from her, while still playin tug with the new one that she had grabbed so that she wouldn't get distracted from that and drop it befotre he wass ready for her to. She growled playfully and tried to get the toy away from him, tugging all over the place and trying to shake her head so that she could get it.

She wanted it out of his hands and she was going to try her best to get it! But Kadin wasn't going to let her having it that easily, of course. He held onto it, shaking it himself and trying to tug it away from her just hard enought o giver her a challenge. HE wanted her to feel like she had really won it one he actually let her have it, not like he was just letting her win when he finally did let go. He played with her fro a little while before, tugging her around him and all over, watching as she held on for dear life, before finally losing his grip again and letting her have it. Once again she immediately shook her head to kill it and pranced around with her new prize, beyond happy with herself for winning the toy like she just had against him.

It really was cute. Kadin wasn't quite sure what to do with himself in the face of it, so he only shook his head and laughed about it. Plus, he still had tyhe other toy hidden awya, so he could gety her attention back on him the moment he wanted to, so he let her have this. she continued to prance around with her prize, occasionally stopping to shake her head and kill it some more. After she seeme dto be getting tired of showing off and started actually tearing at the toy a little bit like she wanted to shred it up, Kadin pulled the other one out from its hiding place and wagged it in her direction, waiting to see if she would go for it. She stared at the toy in his hand for a long moment and almost seemed to be thinking it over. He waited to see.

He wanted her to choose what she was going to do on her own. Fianlly, she leapt to her feet and jumped at the toy, trying to grab it with boy her paws and her teeth more like a cat than a houluh. Kadin snorted, a bit amused that she'd left the other toy behind this tume, but he wsn't going to complain about it when she was still choosing to come over and play with him. She started up her little motor boat growling again, tugging on the toy and trying to get it away from him wiht all of her little might. She was beyond adorable when she was trying to do this, he was having a hard time not just giving in and letting her have to toy right away. But he still wanted to make her work for it, so he pulled back, trying to keep it away.

She was determined that she would get it! He pulled back but she stuck with the toy, growling fiercely and trying to tug back even though he was dragging her across the grass. She braced her little feet and tried to get as much traction as possible so that she could get it away from him, but it was proving to be very diffcult. Kadin pulled her around and then let her tugs pull him forward a litle bit so she felt like she was winning for a bit. Then he pulled her forward some more, repeating this back and forth a couple of times to keep her interest going. She held on as tight as she could the whole itme, trying to keep on the oty and not let him take it away from her! She wanted it and this human was not going to be able to take it away!

Of course, he did, eventually, have to let her win. She was just too cute not to. He "lost" his grip on the toy again and she quickly took it away from him, turning around and running off with it, shaking her head the whole time to try and kill it dead. While she was off in her own world, Kadin scooped up the toy that had been left behind before when she ran back to him the next time, hiding it away so that she wouldn't get distracted too quickly and let her savor her victory for a short while. He didn't want to take that away from her just yet. He let her stay on top of the world, showing off her toy to all the trees and grass that surrounded him and her wonderful victory over the human. She was so proud of herself, it was adorable to see.

she was so busy showing off, but even so she did eventually come back to Kadin to show him, specifically, her prize. "Yes, very good." He said, while she pranced in front of him with the toy, clearly trying to get him to take it from her. But he didn't bite, he just watched her a bit before producing the second toy for her to see. She stopped, dead, staring at the toy he'd just revealed from where he had been hiding it. After long moments of delebration, she seemed to come to the decision once more to drop the toy in her mouth and run over to Kadin, eager to take the toy that he had instead of the one that she had been carrying around until now. Kadin let her grab it and quickly turned it into another game of tug, happy to drag her around the gardens again.
