[The evenings still got a bit chilly, but early on the weather was nice. And there weren't any biting insects about. These apartments came with tiny balconies, just enough room for two chairs and maybe a tiny folding table. Or for one Kaede to stretch her legs out and take over the whole thing.
Initially, she hadn't paid much mind to the child and parent; they were far out of range two stories down, weren't paying attention to her, and so Kaede had shuffled them off to so much background decoration. Then something darted from the gathering shadows below--something with pointed ears and a bottlebrush tail. A dog...?
That got Kaede's attention right quick, and she stood from the creaky chair promptly to get a better look. The dog(?) wasn't easy to keep track of in the dark; she heard the child begin to shriek, but she had no sympathy for it whatsoever.
--ah, movement again. There was the dog, unhelpfully black against shadow. It'd seemed it stole the child's ice cream--that was what let her spot it. It seemed rather smug about it, almost like a cat. Kaede snorted at it. Good boy.]
