Star Trek: Deep Space Nine
Odo, Quark

Prompt:

“The next time you’ll stand in front of my house at 3 AM because you need a place to hide don’t expect me to open the door.” [x]

It was 3AM – 3:12, to be precise – and his door chime wouldn’t stop ringing.

Odo was tempted to stay in bed. He had to be at the precinct in the morning and he needed the sleep. Desperately. But as the chime kept ringing without pause for another two minutes, Odo’s resolve dissipated. His anger, though, rose. He climbed out of bed with a grumble and stopped over to his front door. He practically pulled the thing off of it’s hinges jerking it open. His anger didn’t lessen with the reveal of the person on the other side.

Quark, Odo’s far too troublesome business district informant, looked at him with a mix of relief and frustration from his porch.

“Odo,” Quark said, “I need a place to stay.”

yes, mr. action hero, I am aware that running dramatically from the baddies at breakneck speed is important, but know what else is important? NOT GETTING SHOT. RUN IN A FUCKING ZIGZAG PATTERN ON THE OFF CHANCE THAT THE MOOKS WERE NOT COACHED IN MARKSMANSHIP BY THE IMPERIAL STORMTROOPERS.

We’re all entitled to lazy days sometimes. Don’t believe us? Meet Alawa (“the lazy howler”), a beautiful Canadian/Rocky Mountain gray wolf who lives at the Wolf Conservation Center in South Salem, NY. In this delightful video she’s enjoying a relaxing nap on the ground when she hears her fellow wolves begin to howl. Her instincts kick in and she joins in the howl…sort of.

But even a lazy wolf’s howl is an awesome sound:

I played this, and my cat walked up and joined in. Then she headbutted the phone and purred. She supports this sleep wolf.

Sleep wolf is my patronus

Descriptivists of the world, feel free to use this as a response to language criticism whenever you see fit!

It is amusing. *grins* Also, oh so very true. Nothing in language is absolute and universal.
