Instantly, Puck dropped to the ground, his eyes returning to normal at the sound of Janelle's voice. Turning around slowly, Puck's expression had completely changed, and was now a presumably calm one.
"Ah, you see, they've...gone to take care of some business, my dear," Puck said, scratching the back of his head with one hand as he placed the other on Janelle's shoulder. "I believe that they're in the courtyard now."

"Okay..." Janelle said warily, as she turned her head in the direction of the courtyard. Something told her not to go out there, and she shook her head. "Well, once Clopin comes back, will you be showing me that surprise?" she asked, with an innocent smile.
Bob continued his cat and mouse game, until he finally caught up to the dog, pinning him by the tail. "Now you ain't gonna be escaping anywhere, y'all!" Bob said, with a grin. Clopin reappeared in front of Garnar, holding his scythe. "The unicorn's right. You're cut off from all..."
"Sides." Taylor said, joining in with her dagger.

Puck grinned, shaking his head softly at the girl. "Most definitely, Jay. And I do hope that your father gets back soon." Pausing, Puck glanced up at the window again. It seemed that Taylor had now joined the fight.
"And it would seem that they'll be finished quicker than I thought," he muttered, a smug smile on his face. The mutt would be dead in a matter of minutes, it would seem.

"You're signing your own death contract, mutt. Choose quickly, for my hand itches." Taylor said, her dagger shaking just slightly.
Clopin shook his head. "Choose what you want, Garnar. You die here by horn, noose, and scythe, or we let you go, with certain conditions. You are not to go within 60 feet of my abode, and if you do not comply, you shall be eliminated on the spot." the gypsy king said.
Janelle turned around, looking towards the window. "How would you know? All I see is the courtyard." she stated.

"I...oh, never mind. Just hush, you silly girl!" Puck laughed, tousling the girl's hair playfully. "Anyway, how was Law Enforcement?"
Puck was trying to keep the conversation light hearted and casual, but he was afraid that a bit of nervousness was hiding in his tone. He wanted Clopin and the others to finish the dog off quickly, if only so that they might protect Janelle from things she shouldn't know.

"60 feet, dog, is far enough for you to stay. The next town over from our house." Clopin said, trying to use his best measurement. Their house was located on a country lot, so the next town wasn't too far, but it wasn't too close either.
"Do you agree to the terms?"
Janelle laughed as Puck tousled her hair. "Dad, seriously, stop that! You're messing my hair up!" she said, pulling away to fix her hair. And still, there remained that untamed strand across the bridge of her nose. She tried blowing it out of the way, but all it did was bounce back. "Law Enforcement was alright, except for when the Warden got fed up with all of us and stepped out of the room. We were all trying to figure out what was going on outside. Were you there?" she asked.

"I though 60ft was across the street from your house?" he asks cocking his head to one side 'if he could just stall for awhile longer maybe by some 5% chance Jay would come and somehow stop this.

Puck bit his lip, trying to come up with an answer. "Why, yes, Clopin and I were here. It must have sounded like quite a rucus in there, hmm? Just some little...spat between some passersby."
That wasn't truly a lie; they were technically passersby, and what they were doing had indeed been a "spat".

Taylor threw a noose around the dog's neck, tightening it instantly. "Stop stalling, you mutt!!!" she yelled, whirling him around to face her. "Jay's not going to save you, if that's what you're thinking. You're at her father's mercy, and quite frankly, you should have been dead two seconds ago." Taylor growled. Bob pressed down a little harder on the dog's tail. "I ain't letting go anytime soon!" he whinnied.
Janelle nodded. "I see. Well, it's almost lunchtime, and I have a free period. Can we get lunch?" she asked, looking up to Puck with a smile.

"That sounds wonderful, Jay," Puck smiled, nodding to what the girl had to say. Putting a hand on her shoulder, he began to walk with her down the hall.
"You know, it's going to be quite...odd to be eating here again," Puck chuckled, shaking his head slightly. "But in a good way."

"Do you agree to comply to ALL the rules, under threat of losing your life?" Clopin snarled.
Janelle shook her head and smiled. "Odd? Oh yeah, because you were a student here too. But don't worry, everyone here's pretty nice. I just met Maka's kid today. Her name is Quin, and she's really cool." Janelle said excitedly, with a bounce in her step.

"Maka? Oh yes, I remember her now! The cute little shorty with the blond pigtails," Puck smiled, thinking back to the girl that Janelle had mentioned. Yes, he remembered her quite clearly now. She had been a rather sweet girl, though she seemed to have a knack for getting into relationship drama.
"But I'm glad that you're making new friends. It seems like everybody's kid is going to school here," Puck shook his head slightly. "But hopefully, you won't have to deal with one particular teacher's kid much," Puck added bitterly, thinking of little Silvia Sutcliff.
