For the most obvious of reasons ever, Lex had left Felix back in the dorm before taking on this venture. Walking a crup probably wasn't the easiest thing in the world--though how hard could it be if Dax did it?--and she didn't fancy him and Felix getting into anything while they tried helping the good ole Professor with his aging bones. She'd learned from experience how horrible old bones could be so yes, Lex was a whole lot more understanding.

"D'you think this will be good enough?" She asked. Whether it was directed at the crup or Dima was still to be determined but they were standing by what looked like a very wide track, It wasn't the lake like Botros wanted but it would do just as well.

"I say we start in that direction." Up ahead there was a fountain but it was on the other side and would do the crup more good later on in the walk when he was tired, not closer to the start, so this direction worked. Dima was still hanging on tight to the leash, right?
