Tea and Dogs (For laws_of_dawes)

[call_me_snake]

Snake mixed up a batch of the tea herb Xena had given him when he was shot that helped ease him and get him to sleep. It was the least he could do. The offer of taking the gang out for a walk sealed the deal. He was stressed lately and just getting out for a walk with the dogs would be nice.

Snake loaded up Zena, Rusty, Daisy and Sarge in the Humvee and headed out. It was a short drive over to her place. Once outside he called up to tell Rachel he was outside. He let the four dogs out to explore the sidewalk while he waited. They all had collars but no leashes.

Sure thing. My shop is kid and dog safe.

Snake smiled and patted her shoulder. You don''t call the cops when I show up. We're even.

"Not even, but if you say so."

Rachel smiled back, closed her eyes briefly. There was silence, a good kind of quiet. Just them and the dogs. Away from the courthouse and the madness and the danger of her thoughts. She could stay there for a while longer - she could stay there and not be made to go back - but she remembered she had promises to keep, and Harvey was waiting for her.

Her eyes open up again, and she tilted her head toward him. "We should probably be heading back."

Snake stood up and offered her his hand.</i. Lets get going. I've got stories to read when I get home or trouble with someone far worse than an angry wife.
