Once more with cleaning

Angel was working on cleaning the absolutely filthy assistants lounge. This was arguably due to the fact that as a vampire with a soul he was a nice guy who enjoyed doing good deeds for others.

Or possibly he had some extra energy that he needed to work off.

~~Said energy had absolutely nothing to do with someone whose name began with C and ended in allisto. For the record. Ahem.~~

As Angel didn't think he'd be using any fire this time he had Sean with him. Sean busied himself by playing with a squeaky ball.

The ball rolled off into a corner by the cabinets, and Sean chased after it.

It was entirely possible for either the vampire or the puppy to be interrupted.

Sean lifted his ears when he heard the noise. He looked back at Dad but Dad seemed to be busy or unbothered by it.

Still, noises he'd never heard before might lead to things he'd never seen before. There really was only one way to get these kinds of experiences.

Sean sniffed around the area where the noise had come from.

As Sean sniffed around the cabinet, one of the doors popped open a crack just briefly and then shut again.

More rustling came from inside.

Sean cocked his head to the side with a "Rr?" Granted he was still learning so it was entirely possible that doors opened and closed for no apparent reason. On the other hand he could hear noises on the other side.

Maybe he was supposed to make noise too?

He raised a paw and scratched on the door.

Something on the other side scratched back.

Sean's ears lifted higher. The door was talking. This was by far the most interesting thing he could remember happening that day.

He bounced on his front paws, his tail wagging like a metronome. He gave a friendly and inviting "Rrf!"

The left hand door popped open and shut again. Then the right one did the same thing.

Sean was startled enough by this development that he sat back on his hind legs with a small thud. He looked from one door to the other. Were the doors talking to themselves?

Deciding he wanted to join in on the conversation, Sean said, "Aroo?"

Both doors opened at once and shut again quickly.

Sean may have caught sight of a vague shape holding onto the insides of the doors. It may have been a purplish color.

There was a thing! Sean had absolutely no idea what it was, but then again he tended not to since he was still very new to the world in general.

Still, it was a thing and he'd never seen a thing like it before. It was a new thing!

This was very exciting.

Sean was momentarily lost in a severe case of happy tail. Then he tried to stick his nose under one of the doors so he could greet the new thing properly.

The left door opened slowly just a little and stayed open.

Sean immediately tried to lick whatever his tongue could reach.

A small purple paw may have pet Sean on the nose when it could avoid being licked.

He was being petted! Sean tried to lick the tiny paw in return, since that was about the best he could do for an introduction since he hadn't been taught how to shake hands yet. His tail wagged hard enough that it thumped against the cabinet.

The paw drew back into the cabinet and thumped on it from the inside.

Sean, who occasionally had moments of forgetting that his tail was attached to him, marveled at how the New Thing had just made a thumping noise exactly like something else in the room.

Sean woofed his approval.

Both doors opened again, wider this time. They also stayed open just a little bit longer before closing again.

Sean bounced on his front paws in great approval of this new game. He scratched at the doors to get them to open again.

The left hand door opened and shut. Then the right one did. Then the left again.

Sean was practically dancing with glee. His tail wagged itself into a blur. He barked.

"Find something, boy?" Dad asked.

Sean barked again.

"Okay. But don't eat it."

The right hand door opened wide enough that anything inside might have been able to peak out at Angel.

Sean barked, trying to let New Thing know that that was Dad, and Dad was great and friendly and wonderful and very comfortable to sleep against, even if he didn't have a temperature and a heartbeat like most Dads did.

If there was something inside the cabinet, it might have looked at the puppy and grinned. It also may have giggled just a tiny bit.

The door shut again.

Sean decided to demonstrate to New Thing what he meant. He trotted over to Dad and nuzzled his pocket.

"Hey," Dad scritched him behind the ears. "Hungry?"

"Rrf!"

Dad produced a treat. He held it up above Sean's nose. "Okay, Sean. Sit."

The treat moved. Sean followed it with his eyes and felt his bottom hit the ground.

"Good boy! Very good sit. Okay, here you go."

Dad gave Sean the treat. Sean mouthed it very carefully. He trotted back to the cabinet and put the treat down on the ground.

He barked.

The right hand cabinet door opened just a tiny crack so that anything that might have been inside could see if Angel was looking. When it was verified that he wasn't, a small paw snuck out and picked up the treat. It was replaced with a gingerbread man.

The door shut again.

Sean danced with happiness at this development. He munched down on the gingerbread man, then proceeded to lick the floor well past the point where any gingerbread molecules could've possibly been sticking to it.

While the Sean tried to lick through the floor, one of the doors opened wide enough for a small paw to sneak out and pick up the squeaky ball.

The door shut again. Now there was squeaking coming from inside the cabinet.

Sean's ears perked with surprise. He snuffled at the door, hoping to follow the sound of the squeaking.

The squeaking stopped for a moment. Then it started again, very fast. Then it stopped. And started again slowly. And finally stopped.
