Nah, it's okay. What were you in your past life anyway? A show dog? A racing dog?
Delillah just opened her mouth to respond his question when he suddenly said something that made her blush dark red. Her fur probably seemed darker than usually. Whatever you are, you are the prettiest dog I've had the pleasure of knowing, aye caramba!
She frowned, not knowing what to say. Delillah often heard such kind of words in kennels but those didn't sound as nice as Vincent's. Probably because they were said by bunch of horny and rude dogs. She had always stayed frigid back then but now...
I mean...I don't....uuuuuuh. I-I didn't mean to say that out loud.
I-It's okay... Umm, don't need to be sorry..... I-uh," this place became unusually hot. "Well, to answer your question... she tried to stay calm, "I-I was a racing dog. But never a champion like y-you. So I had two choices. No, not me, my humans actually. They were thinking about killing me or breed me with champions. I didn't like that so I escaped."

" Aha, t-that's interesting, " Vincent could feel himself blushing deeply, infact, he was pretty sure that the lighter parts of his fur was turning pink.
" I r-really don't understand why some humans treat us like this. I wish there were more nice humans in te world, that welcome you into their home, groom you, feed you, nurse you back to health. N-not the abusive kind we dogs mee-eet every few days. "
" But I'm sorry, really. It's that type of season, you know? Females goin' through their...you-know-what, and most male hormones goin' up. "
Gah, stupid, stupid! Vincent thought to himself, Vincent, you're an idiot!

Right now Delillah didn't know what to answer. She was looking down to her paws and counting little rocks in her mind.
"I think I'll go now," she mummbled. "I need to find some food and another shelter if my masters search me."
She didn't want to go and be alone again but she felt that finding another shelter was necessary.
"I-I hope I'll see you again some time," she was still looking at the paws. "Um, g-goodbye."
When she slowly walked away part of her hoped that Vincent will stop her or said something.

Vincent frowned. " Lila, wait up! Why don't you join up with the Legion? We've got top quality protection, honorable and charitable members, and-and...come on, it'll be fun! "
He ran up to her and gave her the best puppy eyes he could muster up. " I'm sorry if I made you feel uncomfortable but...pleeeeease? "

"A Legion? What is that?" she asked, happy that he stopped her.
((Oh, gosh. My brain just died :S......))

" A legion? It's like a pack, except much bigger, and much better, " Vincent said with a smile, " More protected. Kind of like Rome was, I don't know if it still is. If you don't know what Rome is, trust me, it's an awesome place! "
Vincent looked at Delillah in hope. Am I even convincing her? He thought to himself.

"Really? It's not like kennels that humans made?" That's probably the reason he has two names, she tought.
"You think masters wouldn't find me there? I realy don't want to go back, you know."

"Really? It's not like kennels that humans made?"
" It's only run by birds, dogs, cats, squirrels, and any surburban animal that wishes to stay here, " Vincent said, " Not humans. "
"You think masters wouldn't find me there? I realy don't want to go back, you know."
" PLEASE, this pack is run by a pitbull that used to be a fighting dog, it has a racoon, other dogs that used to be fighting dogs, and a bunch of other animals that used to be wild at least one point of their lives! The humans wouldn't even want to find you here. "

Delillah was surprised. A society ruled by animals in the human city? That was something new.
"Well, I need food and shelter, so... why not?" She wagged her white and red tail. "Do I have to do somehing for joining? And do I need another name too?"

" Well first, I need to recite the code to you: As Legionnaires, we strive to better ourselves and be seen as shining examples to all around us. Therefore, we accept this Code of Conduct as a way to live our lives, and vow that we will not violate The Code, under penalty of our higher conscience. " Vincent paused to think, then continued on.
" Should we break this code, whether purposely or not, we know that we are forgiven. However, all Legionnaires stand forever in The Shadow of Truth. The only ones who are fooled are those who live in denial. If you break any part of this Code of Honor, learn from your weaknesses and break the Code no more. Remember, the most powerful weapons a Legionnaire possesses are The Seven Virtues. " Vincent paused dramatically to add to the effect.
" Benevolence: We are charitable and wish to do good for others. Faithfulness: Trust in your fellow Legionnaire's and support them in their endevours. Never turn your back or leave a comrade behind. Humility: We are modest in regards to our own importance and submit to the greater good. We are proud but not arrogant and keep an open heart and mind to the opinion of others. We challenge unenlightened authority. Integrity: We adhere to the moral and ethical principles of The Legionnaires by acting honorably and ensuring a soundness of character. We are honest in our dealings with others and serve as role models and mentors." He paused again, trying hard to remember every single detail.
" Loyalty: We must be loyal to our families, friends and fellow Legionnaires. We must stand together in strength knowing that if we are weak, we weaken the armor of the whole and the innocent will suffer. Mercy: We are compassionate towards others even in their defeat. If we must judge, we must also forgive. Patience: Don't rush, persevere. If something stands in your way, go around it. We must try not to complain, just maintain the tenacity not to quit. "
He gasped for breath, looking as if he was about to faint. " And now, you need a codename. So, what'll it be? "

While he was recitating the Code of Honor, delilah sat down, listening to him. She liked the Legion more and more because if all her members were acting like the Code was saying then they were really fine dogs.
"And now, you need a codename. So, what'll it be?"
"A-a codename? Um, that's hard one," she looked down to the concrete again, thinking deeply.
What should be the codename? She once heard someone saying that she reminds him on Bloody Mary but she didn't know what that means. Well, she only knew what bloody means and she didn't like it.
"Uh, do you have any suggestion?" she asked him, little ashamed because she couldn't think of any.

"Uh, do you have any suggestion?"
" Whoa, that is a tough one, " He said, biting his lip in thought, " Swift Scarlet? Swift Alizarin? Swift Sangria? Swift Red? I don't know! "
(( Short. XP ))

"I like Scarlet," Delillah lifted her head again. "Thanks for help," she then smiled at Vincent.
((XD''))

" Yeah, no prob, " Vincent said, "...Absolutely no problem. Oh and by the way. " He paused dramatically, then burst into song.
" If you're lonely and need a friend And troubles seem like they never end Just remember to keep the faith And love will be there to light the waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay, " He sang.
"Anytime you need a friend I will be here You'll never be alone again So don't you fear Even if you're miles away I'm by your side So don't you ever be lonely Love will make it all riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight, " He then began dancing wildly.
" When the shadows are closing in And your spirirt diminishing Just remember you're not alone And love will be there to guide you home If you just believe in me I will love you endlessly Take my hand Take me into your heart I'll be there forever, baby I won't let go, I'll neverrrrrrrrrr let gooooooooooooooooooooo! " He jumped up onto a trashcan, then began to sing louder.
" Anytime you need a friend I will be here You'll never be alone again So don't you fear Even if you're miles away I'm by your side So don't you ever be lonely It's all right, it's... all.... riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight! " He jumped down, sliding down next to Lila.

She followed him with her sight as he danced and then jumped on a trash can. This time she didn't step back when he finally slidd next to her.
"You really enjoy your life, don't you?" she asked him, giggling. "Will you show me where is the Legion?"
