What, her? [She shakes her head.] Akitas are an independent breed. Unless she wants to go for a walk or needs feeding, she prefers keeping to herself.

[It was, in fact, one of the reasons she picked them out. She isn't around as much as she'd need to be for more sociable dogs...but a loner dog with a mean streak is perfect for her.]

Mmm...that's no good, though. You really need to get to know the city.

Are you free next weekend? I can take you around each part of Recolle and we can work our way outwards...it'll probably take a few trips, but it's really important.
