Ionesco is a Poodle, all curls and clever ideas held in place by an almost convincing schedule. On slow afternoons Ionesco repairs old toys for the smallest pups and refuses to be paid in soup and lets the breeze make most of the decisions. The Yard has a small unspoken rule about teasing Ionesco near the satellite flowers field, mostly because nobody wants to lose. Every so often Ionesco stumbles on a relic too odd to explain and wisely decides to explain it anyway.
