in the dark of the night

The boy was bigger than her but that wasn't saying much, considering how teeny tiny she was. He stood tall but not quiet as big as her looming brothers and Ruin found herself suppressing a smile as he roared into the night, only to quieten down a moment later. She didn't have much, if any, experience with puppies who weren't her siblings. As far as she was concerned they were all one of the same, potential victims and allies, it all very much depended on Ruin's mood. And oh boy was she feeling mischievous tonight. He asked where her parents were, as if that was enough to send her skittering home. As if. Perhaps she ought to be more wary of her Ma's ire since she'd been real mad the list time Ruin had snuck out, but the little Cavaliere-Klein had learned a lot since then. She wasn't so clumsy in her escape attempts, she was already long gone before anyone would notice her absence.

The same maybe couldn't be said for him though, funny.

"Dead." She said with an alarming aloofness, so matter of fact it surely had to be true. Right? His story was interesting though, more than enough to grab a hold of her attention and squeeze tight. She stepped forward, her eyes gleaming in the darkness. She was more than willing to except any excuse to run off on an adventure and finding a corpse did sound like a lot of fun now that she thought about it.... "Let's go!" She hollered, surely the two of them would find the body in no time at all, not realising that a decade was in fact a very very long time.
