(January 18th, closed to Dixie and Cash for the first few posts then it's open!)

"Well ah think yer more lost than a rabbit in a foxhole."

Dixie had really tried to bite her tongue and cut back on her complaining during this new adventure with Cash. She realized sometimes she could be more of a handful than a newborn pup even though she was still convinced a lot of her complaints were valid. However when they rolled up on Corona and gotten out to stretch their legs and find the perfect howling spot she had to speak up. Cash had them in the prettiest, shiniest city she'd ever seen and he just wants to keep walking! Not stop and sightsee, not ask for directions to an actual stage. Just walk. And she was getting plum tired of it.

"Cash ah'm tired an' mah paw'ser sore and ah just wanna sit down an' have a sweet tea an' marvel in all'a this sight here!" Her voice had a slight whine to it.

"Ah mean," she chuckled, "We don't have t'start singin' right away, do we? We can just check into the hotel an' do a walk around the streets." Her honey eyes narrowed towards him. "You did get us a hotel, didn'tcha?"

Well it would be true to say Cash wasn’t the most experienced in this sort of places. Cities and towns he was familiar with, but a Kingdom with these twists and turns and the levels gradually moving upwards upon the island Corona was position on? Well it was a little different than what he was used to. The people though, they all seemed to be the same spirit that he was familiar with, busy and going about their days while children ran about upon the cobbled walkways. Turns out, even in a welded world, people were people.

And Dixie was Dixie.

“Aw c’mon, we ain’t even a piece down the road. The way ah see it, f’we see that castle up there we’re still in Corona.” he fired back to her clever little quip. He wasn’t nearly prickled as he could have been, gesturing with a nod the the massive glittering points of the top of Corona’s castle that they could see peeking out from behind rooftops, walls and trees. With her whining came a heavy exhale, the air rushing past his snout as he rolled his eyes before transitioning into a charming smile by the time he faced her.

“Dixie, lovebug, darlin,” he used a deliberately honeyed tone as he patronized her, “somethin’ tells me there ain’t no sweet-tea fer yer sippin ‘round here. Take ah look ‘round yeh.” he advised with a wide gesture of his maw to their surroundings. He cocked a brow at her when his gaze returned, looking a little unimpressed as she sharply looked to him for the hotel.

“An’ believe it or not, they ain’t in the habit of acceptin’ calls fer reservations, either.” Cash shot back. With a chipper inhale he suddenly dipped downwards, stretching his spine out before straightening back up and trotting along.

“They don’ call ‘em hotels here, darlin. They got Inn’s and pubs, Rubber Ducklin’ somethin’ or other.” he explained, almost dismissively as he failed to remember the name of the place he had heard word of. Beyond that his knowledge was pretty limited, but it was rare to arrive to a place as large as this that wouldn’t accommodate travellers in some way.

“F’yeh like, yeh can head on back down to the bus yerself?” he suggested with a chuckle.

Dixie's eyes narrowed and her maw pursed as if she tasted something sour.

"I will bet you a nickel ah can get sweet tea somewhere around here," she grumbled.

She took a seat in the square and decided to take Cash's advice and look around. The was beautiful. Cobblestone streets, white columns, the salty sea air. It wasn't any podunk town in the American South. It put Nashville, New Orleans and Atlanta to shame with its beauty. But if they didn't have sweet tea or even a damn hotel for superstars such as them she wasn't sure she'd like it so much. She needed civilization! Modern conveniences! And she didn't think that was too much to ask for since she'd been hoofin' it all over the town. Since she left the bus anyway.

She gave Cash another sour look and a laugh. "Well, then, sweet darlin', get us one'a them inns! S'long as it ain't nothin' like a motel, those things're creepier than an abandoned house on Friday the 13th."

She shuddered before running her tail under Cash's chin. Before hearing his comment to which she smacked his nose with the end of her tail. "I ain't goin' back t'the bus," she scoffed, "But if we're on tour we gotta get the star treatment, don't we?"

She hopped past him and up on the bottom step of a landing. "You want me all fresh and perdy when we start singin' don'tcha?"

Cash gave a drawl of agreement with his “mmhhmmm” that followed Dixie’s bet, as if he wasn’t entirely interested or listening. He knew her tone well enough by now to tell the grumbling and fussing was just that and of no real consequence. He was busy looking elsewhere, admiring the scenery sure, but also honed in on the people. That was where they’d find their worth, deep within the pockets of these average civilians. A child being tugged past them by his hand pointed to Cash and Dixie while squealing in excitement at the canine duo.

Cash saw opportunity, expression lit by satisfaction. It simmered some, glancing to Dixie with a dull frown as he observed her selective primadonna preferences. He wasn’t keen on those motels either, but they didn’t bother him as much as others. So long as there were no critters running in the sheets it was a place to stay. The soft length of Dixie’s tail whisked beneath his chin, a smitten smile taking to the hounds face as his jaw leaned outward to follow it as it departed, as if to lengthen her touch for just a moment longer. Before it came lashing back and tickled his nose with a twinge of a whip to the momentum. He snorted, rearing his head back to wrinkle his nose and rid it of the itch with a swipe of his paw, before scowling at Dixie.

“Ain’t gonna make much’ah difference f’we hang ‘roud here too much longer.” he grumbled back at her, cocking a brow.

“Thing’s ain’t like they were, Dixie. We always worked hard but we’re gonna have to put some elbow grease into it like the good ol’ days.” he encouraged, knowing fully well that was hardly good incentive for a diva like Dixie. Fact of the matter was, these were war times whether they wanted to acknowledge it or not, trotting up he stopped one step above Dixie, wagging his tail as he arched his neck down to her level.

“C’mon, Dix. You remember how it used to be. You an’ me, croonin’ for them small crowds and hopin’ for the best each show?” his voice grew a little softer as he tried to paint a picture, an attempt at glamorizing a ragtag time of their career.

“That was at least ah little fun?” he added, a somewhat pleading tone as he tried to appeal to her good graces. All the while he wagged his tail hopefully in his attempt, brandishing his best grin to see what magic he could work on her heartstrings.
