A/N: I APOLOGIZE FOR THE FILLER, I WANT TO TAKE THIS STORY SLOELY AND NOT RUSHED. Hope you can tolerate 3 chapters in a row, just filled with dialogue. Next chapter, I PROMISE, will be interesting.

"That's a lot, right? We should go!" His green eyes lit up.

Mandi hesitated. "You might want to put on the collar Calatino has waiting for you."

"O-Oh, right, of course! I do remember getting funny looks while drinking at the pond before you came."

They walked back inside, and found Calatino holding a yellow collar in his jaws. He placed it back on the ground in front of his paws.

"Here's your collar. It only has 3 teeth, quite a let down, if I say so myself." Calatino admired the leather collar, despite it's lack of teeth.

THANKS. I HAVE 3 TEETH IN MY COLLAR TOO, YOU KNOW.

"Why do you even have teeth? Some sort of fashion statement?" Denovia prodded the collar with his paw. He seemed to do that often, from what Mandi had observed.

Calatino shuddered. "Y-Yeah, sure."

YOU IDIOT, DON'T STUTTER. YOU LOOK SUSPICIOUS, WE CAN'T LET DENOVIA KNOW WE'RE WANTED CRIMINALS.

Mandi shook her head as to clear it, and say on the chilly stone ground.

"Hold it up with your paw so I can fit my neck in it." Denovia stepped closer to Caaltino until he was standing directly in front of him. He towered over Calatino; it was very evident that Denovia stuck out like a sore thumb.

Without a need for words, he lifted his arm, collar hanging from his paw, and let Denovia stick his head where it needed to go. It was a snug fit, but it looked rather constricted. As if Denovia's neck was too wide.

"Whenever you feel like you're going to leave us and live on your own again, return the collar to me."

Mandi inspected the leather around Denovia's neck. The leather was faded and the teeth were yellowing with age. The collar must have been older than Calatino, considering most of the teeth on his collar were ivory. 

"Well, it looks good on you. Now come on, let's go to town." Mandi dashed for the mouth of the cave, feeling the sunshine on her back. 

It was sometime mid-summer, and the heat was usually unbearable. But since it was sometime late afternoon, the sun was slowly beginning to set. Today had been very long for Mandi, and she was silently hoping she'd be able to go to bed early.

"Wait up, I'm coming." Denovia called out, his voice echoing on the walls.
