It was your typical late summer evening. The sky was bright orange with the setting sun, the air was warm, and randomly glowing flecks of light signaled that the fireflies were beginning to come out. Duke was making a slow recovery after his encounter with the car and was on a visit to the park. One of his legs was bandaged with dark green bandages and there were matching ones around his abdomen. They were keeping his insides on the inside by making sure he didn't chew at the stitches were there. They had quickly found out that the Elizabethan collar made his squirm and struggle more then bandages did. He wasn't quite limping, but there was a skip in his step that wasn't there before the accident. The Australian Shepherd has his muzzle towards the sky as he looked from lightning bug to lightning bug. He wanted to jump and snap at them, but he didn't feel like he had the energy and he didn't trust his legs to hold him back up when he landed. Instead, he just sighed and sat down and continued watching the bugs.

Austria was also out taking a walk around the park. She didn't notice Duke there for she was lost in her own thoughts and memories from her puphood. Dutchess was chasing one of the squirrels that was out. She managed to chase up a tree and yelped when the angry critter dropped an acorn on her nose.

Duke glanced over when he heard Duchess yelp. He grinned when he saw the pup and knew that Austria couldn't be far behind her. It wasn't long before he found her and cleared his throat softly before strolling over to her. "Evenin' miss," he greeted with a small bow.

"Evenin'," Austria echoed. "I take it your leg is feeling better?"

"A bit," Duke answered. He lifted his bandaged leg off the ground for a moment before placing it back on the ground. "How are things with you?" he asked.

"Fine, just thinking about how things were when I was Dutchess' age," Austria replied, nodding over to where the pup was growling softly at the fireflies.

Duke tilted his head. "Are they good memories?" he asked.

Austria nodded. "My sister and I would come here and watch the fireflies," she explained. "The first time we came with our mother one landed on her nose and she acted like she got stung by a bee."

Duke laughed and shook his head slightly. "I just started coming here, so I don't have many memories of it yet."

"Well you weren't raised out here in the streets like I was so you probably weren't allowed to come here," Austria guessed.

Duke shrugged. "You're right," he said and smirked. "Besides, I spent most of my time learning how to sing."

"So do you have any littermates?" Austria asked. "Or do you remember?"

Duke shook his head. "Nah," he said. "I'm an only pup."

"So you had to learn to sing all on your own?" Austria asked.

"Pretty much, yeah. I had some friends, but they didn't have much of a talent for singin'," Duke said.
