One of Romeo's jobs in the temple was to collect the prayer slips each day from the shrines so Elfnein knew who she needed to help! Most of the prayers were about learning and knowledge because Gegute was a god all about learning things! Sometimes Romeo read the prayers with Elfnein, though most of them were still too complicated for him.

This morning though one caught his eye, because it had a drawing on it. A drawing of a dog and a little girl with a crying face. He opened it up and saw that the writing looked like it had been written by a child and he could read all the words!

The words were worrying! A dog had ran away from home! His owner was worried because he had been gone a whole week and no one had seen him in all that time. The prayer explained how the dog was her best friend and she missed him so much! She thought he had gotten lost because he loved snuggles and his favourite toy, he normally wouldn't stay outside for long! She was worried that bigger dogs might have attacked him, that he could be hurt.

He used the shrine to travel back to Elfnein's temple and burst in through the doors. "Elfnein? Elfnein! We got a prayer and a little girls dog has gone missing and she's really worried! We've got to help her!"

After ten or so minutes Kaito can be seen down the road carefully looking at the two of them.

"Romeo try calling him over now"

[myblueskies]

Ten minutes is a really long time but Romeo tried his best to be patient, waving the bone and looking around for any dog sightings.

Finally Kaito appeared. At Elfnein's instructions Romeo crouched down and waved the bone again gently. "Come on Kaito! You're owners are worried about you! Don't you want to go home?"

[alchemists]

Kaito lets out a small bark as a reply and happily walks over to Romeo. His eyes are on the bone but he clearly is willing to follow the two of them.

"Kaito, let's get you home now"

Elfnein also crouched down and gave the dog a pat on the head.

"Hello Kaito!" Romeo reached out very cautiously, in case the dog decided to bite. But it seemed friendly and just licked his fingers. Romeo gave him the bone which he played with, gnawing it for a moment. Romeo stood up straight and then reached down to hold Kaito's collar.

"It's not far!"

[alchemists]

"You'll be home in no time."

Elfnein gave a nod to Romeo that they were all ready to start heading back. Now that Kaito was calmed down and friendly there shouldn't be any issues getting him home now.

Romeo grinned at Elfnein and held onto Kaito tightly as they walked back towards his house. As they got close Kaito began to bark excitedly and there was the sounds of foodsteps before the door opened and a head peaked out.

"Kaito?" The little girl gasped. Romeo let go of Kaito's collar and the dog ran towards the girl, barking happily. "Kaito! Kaito you came home! Mum! Mum! Kaito's back!"

Romeo watched the little girl usher her friend into the house and turned to smile at Elfnein.

"We did it!" He held out his hand for a high five! That had been some great teamwork!

[alchemists]

Elfnein high five'd Romeo, it was good teamwork between the two of them. If it was just Elfnein there would be no way that she'd be able to complete this task.

"I couldn't have done this without you Romeo"

[myblueskies]

"And I couldn't have done it without you! You had really great ideas!"

A great team and now Kaito was safely back with his family!
