And then Richard hits the ground again. But at least this time it's a shorter fall, going from a crouch to sitting, trying to avoid having his hair set on fire. Victoria gives a defensive bark, but it doesn't seem to be necessary. Richard wavers briefly between being hurt or being angry, but then the women is apologising and explaining.

"You nearly set my head on fire," he answers, voice high-pitched and a bit miffed. He gets to his feet again, brushing off his rear this time. Still, he won't hold a grudge about it, accepting the apology and explanation.

"So, why?" he asks curiously, looking between the woman and the dog. Victoria however doesn't seem to take the warning seriously, so she curiously pads over to nose the woman's leg. Richard shudders, and oh yeah, that is weird.

"Stop that!" he snaps at the winged dog.

"Well, I'm sorry, but I wanted to see what would happen," she answers petulantly.
