Jack and Merle were there, waiting for a representative to arrive. They hadn't been there long, but Jack stood there while Merle sat at her side, perked up and at attention. He wanted to prove to them how good he was, and she put a hand on his head with a smile, he was the best Ohou she could have asked for at the moment, and she wanted to get him all of his papers. This was for the best, she figured, and she smiled a little broader when she thought of the birds he had already caught. It was almost sheer, dumb luck that had gotten him the birds, but that was alright, at least it seemed to count. Holding their heads high, they waited for awhile longer to see if someone would come, they were ready to prove their worth, and though Jack figured she would be here with more Ohou in the future, Merle was the first who was near and dear to her heart.

The small wrist-watch being constantly glanced as she walked, ticked on, as Uno stepped quickly along the pathway towards the Park. A simple brown leather handbag slung over her shoulder and a clipboard clutched to her chest, she was as prepared for her job as she could be, and it was a perfect day for it! She felt a bubbling excitement as she approached the fenced area. There was nothing more thrilling to her than to see the growth of a pup, and to see someone express their efforts through training exercising was always exciting! By the time she made it to the woman and her companion, she was nearly skipping, waving as she came up to the patiently waiting pair.
"Hi there!! My name is Uno, and I'll be TBB's representative today for overseeing your certification training!" Un-clipping her pen and standing just off to the side, so as not to get in the way; she beamed at the pair and gave a gentle hand-wave towards them, a gesture that said 'go ahead!' to start showcasing their moves and teamwork.

"Stay here, Merle, okay?" she said with a little smile as she patted him on the head. She moved over to where Uno was and offered to shake her hand, though she wasn't sure if this would be accepted or not. "I'm Jack, and his name is Merle," the woman told Uno with a little smile, proudly watching as he stayed put where she had left him. That was the good training, she suspected, he certainly seemed to have remembered it all, which was good for her. Breathing a sigh of relief, she glanced over at Uno again and gave a chuckle, "Sorry, so new to this I figured we'd start simple first, at least he's staying put, right?" She had trained him pretty well, he was pretty well committed to her as well, and so she knew this was going to be a cakewalk for them both at this point.

Jack scratched her head for a moment and kept an eye on Merle, who seemed to be getting a little impatient. He shook his head, his floppy ears going from side to side, and she finally chuckled and then called him over to her, "Come here buddy." Standing up, he trotted over to her and nuzzled into her hand when she offered it to him. He was a good boy, they both knew it, but she hoped that Uno would see it as well. Well... things would be good either way, she would get his certificate and then she could keep an extra pup, she thought, from his breedings after Cerulean had her first litter of pups. Everything was starting to work out for her when it came to Ohou, at least this first one she had really focused on, and she hoped that the rest of the ones she would get would do the same.
[Come]

"Sit down, Merle," she told him then while they were both next to Uno, and she smiled as he plopped down and looked at her expectantly. She eyed the woman for a moment and then smiled broadly, she had an idea, though she didn't know how interactive the woman was hoping to be with these shows. If she got told off, she would apologize and do what she needed to in order to make it right, but for now... that was going to be fine in the long run. Tilting her head, she patted Merle on his head, ruffling his soft ears a little as he sat there, a little edgy and ready to go for the moment. This was killing him, he was still very much a puppy it would seem, no matter how big he was, and he was itching to get moving again. In good time buddy, in good time.

Merle itched to move a little bit, but he was sitting down and staying in place due to the command she had used for him, and he knew much better than to go against one of her commands. This was going to be fine she knew, and she hoped that it was all going to be alright for this test she was putting him through. So far she was more than pleased, and she hoped that Uno was pleased with him as well. Already he had shown off quite a bit it would seem, and the woman finally flicked her fingers a little, "Speak up!" Merle barked and wagged his tail, making Jack chuckle a little and feed him a treat. This was good, she knew, he was doing just fine with what they needed to show off. Narrowing her eyes a little, she tapped her cheek, however, and wondered what all they could do for this.
[Speak Up]

"Miss Uno... I don't suppose you'd like to be a part of this? If not, that's perfectly fine, I just figured Merle might give you a kiss?" she offered, moving her hand toward Merle with a smile. She nodded to him and leaned down as well, "Give us a kiss, boyo." Merle hopped up and licked the woman on the cheek as readily as he could before turning to the new woman and whining a little, wagging his tail as he hesitantly reached out to lick at her hand a little bit. He wasn't sure about this, but if that's what she wanted, then that's what he would do. Hopefully he wouldn't be in trouble, and the woman patted him on his back for doing so well so far, "Good boy, Merle." If this kept up, at this rate he would have his certificate in no time, which was a great thing to have.

"Okay pal, back up and give Miss Uno some room," she told him, and the Ohou backed away from the two of them before pausing finally and woofing lightly. He didn't know what to do at the moment, had he done something wrong? "You're good, buddy, just need a little room," she guessed what was going on as he looked confused to her, and he softened his stance a little at that. They didn't understand each other perfectly, but they could read each other's movements and body language as well as they could for each other. Scratching the back of her head, she went over the mental list of what they needed to go through and wondered if they should have added a few things to his repertoire as well, but she doubted that would be the case. Oh well, it was a nice thought she figured with a low chuckle, and she shook her head.

Nodding to Uno, she gave her a smile and then walked off, past where Merle was standing, and patted her leg a couple of times, "Follow me, boyo." He woofed and loped after her, walking behind and to the side of her so they could cover more ground if they needed to search and track something down. This was good, he was doing so well so far and she knew what to do as the last thing for all of this. It would take a moment, she thought as she wandered around the area, her hands in her pockets. Finally she stopped and Merle stopped behind her as well, nuzzling into her hand as she held it out to him again. This was good, she knew, and she hoped that it was going to work out so far when she ended it with a flourish. At least she hoped it was a flourish, maybe it wasn't going to make much sense though.

Jack smiled and patted him on the head, "Okay pal, time to give a bow." She bowed while Merle put a paw forward and dipped his head as well, and she wondered if she should end all of her shows like this so far. It would at least be interesting, and maybe Uno would enjoy it. It would get old after awhile though, and she figured that Uno would get tired of seeing the same things over and over again. Patting Merle on the head when they both popped up, she patted her leg again and they both walked toward the other woman with smiles on their faces. "I hope this works for you at least! I don't suppose you'll get tired of seeing the same things over and over again, will you?" she asked, concerned. Hopefully Uno would love the job at least, she seemed pretty perky so far, she thought!

Uno gladly shook Jack's hand, and looked on at her Ohou Merle with a cooing delight, "Nice to meet you both!" She smiled, waving off the apology "No, no, apologies aren't needed! Any trick you want to demonstrate in any order is just fine!" As the pair showcased, she clicked her pen ready and began jotting notes, filling out the form that was clipped to her board for the canine and marking off the tricks as they were demonstrated. She perked at the offer of a kiss; Inwardly she was ecstatic! Dogs, canines, all manners of them were her favorite beast, and being a worker within the Hive, wasn't allowed her own. Even small interactions with them made her beam with job- she gave a giggle with a bell-like tinkle, happily stating "Not at all!" The kiss was gentle and careful, and she cooed at the boy. She felt a sigh but repressed it- no time for fantasies about owning her own dogs, she was here to work! As Merle listened & acted out the last command, she signed the paper she was filling out from the start. She clapped happily at the bow, laughing. "Very well done! I'd like to say, congratulations! You've both demonstrated the tricks perfectly and have earned this certificate." Pulling her handbag forward, she reached in and gently pulled out a pink-tinged paper, already prepared with a ribbon. Uno temporarily clipped it to the clipboard, taking a moment to fill out the name of 'Merle' on the certificate, and her signature along the bottom. "Oh no, I hope not! I've always loved dogs; It'll be a thousands years before I get tired of watching a talented pair such as yourselves demonstrate their companionship!" Carefully, Uno rolled up the certificate, wrapping it in a ribbon- something easy enough to slide off to read the paper if wanted, but yet strong enough to keep the paper from coming un-done, unraveling, and otherwise potentially wrinkling if tucked away in someone's backpack, coat pocket or purse. She smiled, feeling exquisite joy at being lucky enough to have the freedom to be the one of the Hive to be in attendance for the occasion, presenting Jack her new, Merle-Certified Treasured certificate. "I hope to see you again soon; you seem like someone who could handle a variety of Ohou!" [img]https://theblackbones.neocities.org/Greyfall_Woods/CERTIFICATE_TREASURED_JackMerle.png[/img]
