He explained he didn't get stepped on, he just wasn't used to so many people crowded together. Sophie blinked, then smiled and tilted her head, giving a little nod; yes, she supposed that would be...what was the word? Disconcerting. She wasn't really used to so many people gathered together, herself, but the young pup managed to distract herself by finding reasons they should be gathered together. The painting tent, for example; it was a great way to bring people together, and have them all create something. She and this stranger would probably make something really pretty, all because she'd happened to bring it up in casual conversation! She wondered what else she could make people do, just by talking about it.
She would have to test that out. Later.
At the older boy's bright suggestion, Sophie perked up, her tail waving about and dragging her entire lower half with it. "I'd sure like that!" She agreed readily, and bounced around to face the other direction, glancing over her shoulder with a happy grin. " 'S this way! C'mon!" And she bounded off, darting through the crowds and scrambling between people's legs as easily as if she'd done it for the whole of her admittedly short life. It helped, somewhat, that more people than she was aware of noticed her in time to get out of her way, so that she wasn't stuck trying to climb over their paws--being too small to simply step or jump over them without anyone noticing or possibly hurting herself. Up ahead, she could see the brightly colored tent that had very quickly become her favorite festival activity. At the sight of it, she began letting out a short series of barks, which quickly turned into the sort of braying a hound-dog would make after sighting its prey.
That was essentially what she was, after all. The site was much more comical than it first appeared, however, as her voice came out like the high-pitched bark of a Chihuahua, and she was also about the same size as a large one; a miniature version of herself. Or, in that particular family, of Boothe.
