"C'mere, Darty." She wiggled her fingers at the crup excitedly, "We have to go get your daddy's other surprise!" She bounced up and down and started bouncing down the street and the crup took off with her. Cat and Dart ran down to the other end of the street and back, but this time, when they returned, Dart was carrying a basket in his mouth. He took it over to Mo and Cat grinned. "Since we can't exactly take Dart into any shops with us, I got some take out from the Three Broomsticks."
Also, he was getting a shoulder rub later because she knew he needed one.
Mo watched Cat and Dart race off down the street, and the longing and jealousy was absolutely obvious on his face. He wanted to run with his crup. He wanted to be able to do the things that his body had been able to do only a few months ago, but he was now too fragile and frail. It was so frustrating, doubly so that he had only managed to shove back to his feet by the time Cat returned.
And Dart. Mo took the basket from the crup, roughing up Dart's ears fondly. "Let's have a picnic. Did you have a spot in mind? Dart would be good in a shop, though, don't you think?"
