[ he narrows his eye a bit, scowling. ]

Figures. [ a beat. ] Sonata-chan was tellin' me a few things.

[featherduster]

What'd she say?

[doggonemad]

Said we're the ones that end up firin' the guns on ya, in a manner of speakin'. Said somethin' about a guy who hurt her little sister? Then took her and some've the others hostage.

An' arson, but what the fuck ever.

[featherduster]

[ Who among us has not committed a little arson ]

In some cases that's been true. I don't think waking up with a black collar is the reason for it, though.

[doggonemad]

Far as I could tell, only orders we got were "stir shit."

[featherduster]

Should you choose to follow them, anyway.

Your boss isn't very intimidating.

[doggonemad]

[ a slight flinch, but he recovers quickly. ]

Yeah, I get creative an' sneaky with my insubordination.

[featherduster]

If you grab him in your fist he makes a "GRHK--!" noise!

[doggonemad]

He's just a lil' guy, ain't worth bein' all aggressive like that. 'Sides, he ain't the one that can pull the strings from what I've heard.

[featherduster]

Nope. I'm curious who you've been told does pull the strings, though.

[doggonemad]

People've said that Ceo jackhole can control Weeds.

[featherduster]

So I hear.

--Oh. Has anyone warned you about the thing with shepherds?

[doggonemad]

[ He crosses his arms, eying him critically, guard up in an instant. ]

What about it?

[featherduster]

Every Weed's got this word -- if a shepherd says that word, you'll be compelled to obey them.

Avoid sharing it if you can.

[doggonemad]

. . . Yeah. I ain't big on any of you fucks knowin' that.

Heard about what happens when a Weed goes to a flock, too. Bein' compelled to obey the shepherd once a day an' all. You treatin' Duo alright?

[featherduster]

[ MAKES A FACE ]

I don't use that shit.

We have an agreement that I'll tell him to sit up or sit down every morning to get that bullet outta the chamber.

[doggonemad]

He said somethin' about that. Good.

[featherduster]

I'd hope any shepherd would be doing the same.

[ ,


Well ]

Most of 'em, anyway.

[doggonemad]

Would be nice! Polite, even. But ya never know who's gonna say "sic" when they're given a dog like that.
