Room 423, Saturday afternoon

"Stay off of the bed, Porthos," Hoshi warned as she took the dog off his leash. She'd taken him with her when she went for her morning jog and Porthos had a little too much fun playing in the mud. She watched as Porthos sat on the floor, then turned. "Let me get a towel and we'll go give you a bath. You like baths, right, Porthos?" said Hoshi, looking over her shoulder. While her back was turned, Porthos had jumped up on her bed, muddy paws and all. She sighed. "Alright, bath first, and then laundry. You're very lucky you're cute."

Porthos wagged his tail at her, but then his ears perked up and he looked at the door with a growl. He jumped off the bed and went running to the closed door.

Hoshi frowned. "What is it, buddy? Is someone there?"

[Door closed, but post is open for a weetiny, a daddy, and anyone else who doesn't mind some SP!]

Hoshi picked up Porthos and opened the door. She looked at the little boy in confusion, then looked up and down the hallway. "Someone lose a kid?" she called out, not seeing anyone around.

Kaji looked up at Hoshi. "Mommy!" he squealed.

"Oh no, not again!" groaned Hoshi, looking at the little boy and struggling to hold onto a squirming dog. "Okay, come in. You look different from last year, Toru. And where's your sister?"

He shook his head. "No, not Toru. Kaji!" he said. "Kaji Sato-Nolan."

Porthos managed to escape Hoshi's grasp and jumped back to the floor, running up to the little boy and licking his face.

Hoshi just looked stunned. "Oh my... But how... I mean, I know... Oh my gosh," she jabbered.
