"Jackie is there literally everyday after school. She hasn't mentioned you, but then again she's kinda shy so you probably haven't talked to her much." She moved her hand under the dogs chin, scratching her lightly. "Sounds like it. I don't think I could handle some of the dogs that come in. I can't believe I've never noticed before. Maybe I should pay more attention to my surroundings."

"She did seem like the shy type when I met her." he said, shrugging it off. "I'm sure I'll get to know her more anyway, though. He watched as Luna's head rotated upward once her chin was being scratched, with her back foot lightly beating against the ground happily. "It does help to pay attention." Caleb chuckled, laughing a little louder when he saw Luna's foot pounding against her side and on the ground. "Oh, you got her other ticklish spot." he grinned, pointing to her leg shaking happily.

Justice giggled at Luna's reaction to being scratched, adding in both hands. "You like that girl?" She giggled again, turning her attention back up at Caleb. "So, Caleb," She started, squinting her eyes a bit, "how old are you?" He didn't look much older than her, but she hoped he wasn't too older. Older usually meant more mature, and she tended to be a bit on the childish side. She just hoped she wouldn't drive him away. Wait, how do I even know he'll want to be friends with me in the first place? Aren't I jumpin' ahead of myself?

"I'm twenty-one. And yourself?" Caleb answered simply, continuing a small massage on Luna's neck, narrowing it down to simple scratches behind the ear now. She looked younger, but she couldn't have been that much younger, right? And even if she was, so what? It's not like Caleb hasn't had total conversations with kids. Hell, with the way he was with dogs, sometimes he considered himself on the childish, if not, teenager side.

21? So much for not being way older. Justice bit her lip, focusing her gaze on the dog. "I'll be 17 next month." She finally answered, hoping he wouldn't stop talking to her because of her age. It was only 4 years, right?

"Really? Well, happy early birthday to you then." he chuckled. "I'll actually be twenty-two this coming October." he told her, dropping his hand to the ground, letting Justice give the rest of her attention to Luna for a bit. Caleb thought then, if he was almost twenty-two, and she was turning seventeen next month...then that would make them like four or five years apart. That wasn't weird was it? Talking to a girl much younger than himself....it wasn't that big of an age difference was it? Caleb shook the thoughts out of his head. It wasn't like they were flirting or anything. He didn't worry too much about it. He just cared that she loved dogs as much as he did.

Ahh, so it's five years. Still not that much...right? Justice winced lightly before quickly placing a smile back on her lips. "Thanks." She continued scratching Luna lightly but sat back on the ball of her feet. "So, how long have you been in town?" She asked, trying to think of something to talk about. She enjoyed talking to him and she didn't want the conversation to die.

Caleb nodded, as if saying You're welcome to the younger girl. "Actually, Luna and I just moved her a couple of weeks ago. We've only gone around town once or twice before on account of I had work to deal with." he explained to her. "Luckily though, with the job I have, I can take Luna to work with me." he smiled wider, especially when Luna looked up at him in a smile as well as if understanding what he was saying.

"Ooooh, cool. Where did you live before here?" She tilted her head to the side, a tiny smile on her face. "So you haven't seen much of the town yet? Maybe I could show you around? I haven't been here very long either, since I was just adopted, but maybe we could explore together. If you want, that is..."

"Just a few hours away from here actually. I'm a Californian." he explained with a grin, returning his hand to Luna's head, scratching behind her ear. "I wouldn't mind at all if you showed me around. And I'm sure Luna wouldn't mind either, would ya, girl?" he cooed at the dog, who simply barked as a response, and gave Caleb a couple wet kisses. Caleb laughed, returning his eyes to Justice again. "See? Luna likes traveling, just like me." he chuckled.

"Ohhh cool. Is it this nice where you're from? I've never been outside Riverside." Justice would love to travel one day, be able to see what's out there. "Awesome. Do you have time now or would you rather do another day?" Justice added on the last part as an afterthought, not wanting to seem too excited. She giggled at Luna, smiling. "Traveling seems fun."

"Oh, its awesome where I'm from. The weather is kind of like here, always mostly nice, but at the same time you never know if the sun decides to hide behind a cloud or not." he explained with a chuckle. "We'd love to go on a tour with you right now, if that's alright. We weren't planning on doing anything else today, anyway."

"Sounds nice. So what made you move?" She smiled when he agreed to go now, glad she hadn't scared him away yet. "Awesome." Justice stood, sticking her hands in her pockets. "Err...where should we start? I'm not entirely sure what's near here. Maybe we could just walk around?"

"Well, after I finished my two years of college, I just figured it was time for me to move out, and get my own place. I'm still thinking about finishing college off elsewhere, perhaps the University near this town. But for now, I'm just taking a little break, earning up some money to live my own life." he explained to her, getting up when she did. Luna followed suit, getting up and nudged Caleb's guitar to him as a reminder not to forget it. "Oh, thanks girl." he ruffled her head, swinging the guitar over his shoulder so it rested on his back. "Sure. We can just walk around. That's all we've been doing lately, anyway." he grinned, glancing down at Luna who was walking beside him like the loyal friend she was.

"Oh." Justice brushed her hair back, tucking her hands in her pockets again. "I dunno where I wanna go for college. I don't even know what I want to do." She smiled at Luna when she nudged Caleb. "Wow, Luna is such a good girl." She knew she'd already said that, and she'd probably say it again later but that didn't stop it from being any less true. "Awesome. I don't think this town is very big. She started down the sidewalk, glancing around from side to side. 'I think there's a lake over there." She said, nodding towards the woods. "Just beyond there."
