[ Thank you, Cynbel... she'll make it inside and bring him into the apartment proper, where three other people live and where there are corgi pillows everywhere. ]

Want a seat?

[changeably]

[CORGI PILLOWS, goodness gracious. They look super soft, and he halfway to jumping into a pile of them before he thinks to answer her.]

Certainly! Thank you very much.

[Manners, manners. Gotta put them back on, now that he's calmed down enough to remember.]

[flaredo]

It's the least I could do for someone who hauled himself all the way here.

[changeably]

[That counts as permission to him, so he stops resisting and flops right into the pile.]

Well, your hospitality is appreciated, nonetheless!

[flaredo]

You just wanted to test out the corgis, didn't you?

[ She's onto you. ]

[changeably]

[Shhh, just let him roll around in cute, comfy pillows.]

I haven't the faintest idea of what you mean.

[flaredo]

It's a shame we didn't get the real deal... Zwei would've loved you.

[changeably]

[He sits up on his elbows, blinking at her in surprise.]

You have a dog, then?

[flaredo]

Yeah-- he's a corgi, but he's black and gray. Super smart, too!

[ she's very proud of her dog. ]

[changeably]

[He doesn't know what a corgi is, exactly, except that it's cute as heck (like the pillows) and apparently a breed of dog.]

A smart dog... Your family must have quite the farm, to have one that's so useful!

[Because dogs are for herding farm animals, right??]

[flaredo]

Not so much of a farm... but he's great against monsters.

[ trufax. ]

[changeably]

[He brightens up more at that. Monster fighting pets? Hell yes.]

A guard dog! Now, that truly does sound like something we could use around here.

[flaredo]

Right? I keep hoping I'll see him here again one day.

[changeably]

Perhaps you will! They can bring almost anyone out of that code, after all, so a dog shouldn't be too difficult.

[He still puts a lot of faith into that idea, even if he doesn't trust anything else CERES says.]
