- Phoebe Beacon has posed:
The public persona presented pleasantly to the masses was as much an armor and mask as the triple-weave kevlar and tech-laden dominos were. To the public it was the proof that there was no way someone like the Waynes could be anything but a bunch of rich kids and their kind-hearted (but kind of a himbo) adopted (mostly) father.
So today, one of the latest 'adopted acquisitions' was walking with her red-and-white 'Ibizan Hound', though Idu's tail curled up far more like a Basenji's. He was wearing his normal gold-and-desert-sky-blue two inch collar (matching one that Phoebe's wearing herself), wearing a dog jacket, booties (to protect his footies) and even a pair of doggles that match Phoebe's sunglasses.
Phoebe? Just wearing designer jeans, nice boots and a sweater under a vest.
She purses her lips a moment, pushing her sunglasses up a little as she looks to the prancing sight-hound.
"I think Idu's enjoying being fancy." she states in a soft voice.
- Talia al Ghul has posed:
And there is one Ms. Al-Ghul that is coincidentially in the area as well (actually, it is a coincidence for once). She's wearing a set of jeans and a sweater that looks far more Wal-Mart than anything from the chic designers she normally goes to. A purse is slung over her shoulder, and a thick sweater goes over her body of a cheap, black color. She has a jacket on apprporiate for the weather, of all things a cheap ski mask hat turned up and over like a set of earmuffs and a nylon blue scarf. Someone definitely looks like they're ready for the Gotham weather as she goes indoors to rub her hands together to give an impression of getting them to have circulation back again.
Much as she loathes it, now she has to live like some provincial would until things are sorted out. Damian has made an offer.. But she hasn't the foggiest how to bring it up and over to the proper Lord of the Dominion without invitation.
... How is she going to get Alfred's permission?
- Bruce Wayne has posed:
Bruce Wayne was decked out in casual albiet designer clothes as he usually was when out and about. Well polished Italian leather shoes of some artesian quality. Brown slacks and a matching jacket. Instead of the usual button up and tie however he'd opted for a more leisurely white turtle neck beneath the suit. Far more 'business casual' since he was on an outing with one of his adoptees and her dog.
A dog for whom his hand occasionally dips into the pocket of his jacket to palm a few mini snausage type treats to offer over when ever Phoebe wasn't looking. No harm in spoiling the well dressed hound.
"Likely he's enjoying being warm as well. I imagine having warm feet is a good thing for a dog as lean as he is." Snausage treat delivered. "The 'doggles' seem a bit much though. Should we get him some skis, too?"
A half-quirked grin comes at his own suggestion that Idu become so sporty. His attention draws toward the store they were heading to which Talia had entered before. Surely that wasn't her? He steps forward to elbow open the door allowing Phoebe and Idu to go before him which only informs him that yes, that was Talia.
"Lovely day for shopping, isn't it?" Comes the friendly, cheery, good natured voice of Bruce Wayne offered out to all within hearing range.
- Phoebe Beacon has posed:
Idu is a very handsome dog, very friendly, and due to the pair of Waynes being at the end of his leash he's been allowed pretty much everywhere and been on his best behavior. You might even think that he understands the language with how he's looking about, prancing in his fancy booties and definitely not letting on that he's being fed snausages.
Bruce Wayne is now one of his favorite people; his loyalty was secure.
"Considering Desher-iwiw were meant for the deserts, probably not far off at all. And they're tinted. You never know when you might need a pair of dog-shades." Phoebe remarks with a slight grin, but recognizes the expression as his attention drags forward, and she tenses before she turns into the store, drawing the leash of the canine a little tighter.
"Don't mind us -- I have service animal paperwork for him if needed."
- Talia al Ghul has posed:
And there goes Talia over into the same store as the two are going. And there's the sound of Bruce's voice, hitting her hard. She would pause and take a couple of steps back in surprise. Oh, this is going to be difficult. She would move to act like she was normal, being surprised by a 'real celebrity' over and going to adjust her poise and posture to approach him over and Phoebe. She would go to maneuver towards them, and eyes would travel from Bruce to Phoebe.. But mostly settling over on the dog.
"Isn't he the loveliest thing ever?" She would coo over as anyone would seeing something so adorable. "Can I pet him?" She would ask, moving to take off one of the mittens she had been wearing to if told she 'could' go to pet the dog. Might as well just go for it the natural way. Completely identifiable.
- Bruce Wayne has posed:
Bruce Wayne beams brightly in a way that was rarely if ever seen on his night time persona. Certainly it was an expression that would seem out of place to those who knew him otherwise. For this particular persona however it was just how things were. "Oh I'm sure it'd be fine to pet him. Though it's really her decision." A gesture is given toward Phoebe. "He's quite a well behaved dog. Very friendly." Then Brucey goes so far as to extend his hand toward Talia to deftly drop a snausage in her palm to help lure Idu closer. Once Phoebe gives the OK, at least.
- Phoebe Beacon has posed:
"He is the loveliest thing ever. A very good and smart boy, yes he is." Phoebe coos.
Idu might have actually rolled his eyes, but the well-dressed hound steps up with his booties, his ears quirking up as his red nose sniffs at the hand that holds the snausage. For all his smarts... still a stomach with legs. His curled-over tail gives a wag.
"And yeah, you can pet him." she states, though Phoebe's pushed her sunglasses up over her braids now so she can keep an eye on Talia.
"He generally doesn't like strangers, seems to like you though! Must be someone special." she gives a pleasant smile. It's not as off as Bruce's smile is, but she's definitely different pitched than when in armor.
- Talia al Ghul has posed:
Talia al Ghul goes to lean over towards over Idu to rub him over behind the ears, pulling off her mittens over to give him some gentle scritches. "Well he is the most amazing thing ever. I only ever had a cat." Actually more of a huge tiger. Moving to lightly stroke her hands over, and then looking at Bruce. "HE certainly seems that way. Definitely uwell trained, Mister Wayne." She would speak over to him and the 'spare heir'.
"So, by that ever so dashing butler you have?"
- Bruce Wayne has posed:
"Oh Alfred is a man of many talents. I can't claim this is his work though." Bruce smiles again with an almost proud demeanor as he reaches out to give Phoebe's shoulder a fond little clap that doesn't actually touch. To those watching it might seem just a breif touch, but he'd stopped it just shy before he withdraws again knowing her preference for not being touched overly much. "Phoebe here's his owner and trainer. She's done a wonderful job."
"Though I'll be certain to pass on to Alfred the compliment. I'm sure he'd be glad to hear he's still catching the eyes of lovely ladies such as yourself."
- Phoebe Beacon has posed:
Phoebe feels her shoulders tense as Bruce's hand nears her snoulder, though she's trying her best to keep her smile.
"It's easy ty. o do when you start off with a smart animal. I don't think if he wasn't so bright we'd gone near half as far." Phoebe gives a smile to Talia.
And then Idu decides he's done with the booties, and launches all forty-two pounds of himself into Phoebe's arms, making her stumble a moment backwards as she's suddenly Dog Carrier.
"... thanks, Idu." she states to the dog.
Idu's tail wags. Don't mention it!
"Hey, we should *probably* stop and get a coffee soon. I don't wanna drop my caffeine high." which is a bloody lie, "Wanna join us for some coffee?" she asks of Talia.
Because that'll give them a chance to talk and not be in the middle of the walkwa
- Talia al Ghul has posed:
Talia al Ghul would go to stand up and over and smile, "Why thank you. It's a pleasure then, to meet such a lovely boy." SHe would give a nod over at Idu. "And, it's a privilege Mister Wayne. And you." She would offer to Phoebe as she would glance about then. Ever, ever so subtly in the way that likely came automatic to all of them with the motion. Rising up, using the shifting of her hat on her face to cover her quickly checking every angle for anyone watching them or signs of anything out of place. Shifting over to play wiht the hood..
Using it to cover the act of turning in place to be able to get a full 360 degree sweep of the area just in case someone or something might be paying more attention to the group than it should be. Just using casual motions to cover. The way they all knew how.
