Well, yeah. Figured that was the workaround to get Shrike a dog.

[The box barks a couple times, the lid jostling as the dog realises it isn't quite so far that she can't poke her head over the edges for this odd scent of ???food???]

No way. This is my workaround to get me a dog.

But you're the next biggest dog lover, and I know for a fact you like rubbing their tummies.

[Looks a bit shifty, but it's not as though it isn't true. (By now, the dog has figured out that she can chew through the box to freedom, and starts snuffling at whatever kitten happens to get too close as she goes)]

Y'know, you can just get yourself a dog. I guess I could be convinced to help walk it and stuff.

[Does this almost standoffish act seem even a little bit convincing??? Perhaps not but she is doing her best]

[Griffin cracks a knowing smirk as kittens sniff and bat at this wee puppy. God if they had the sense to record this, they'd have so many follows on instagram]

Oh sure. But what happens when I turn into a feathery dog? The chain of command totally breaks down.

Nope, better you take care of her.

[The dog hesitates only for a moment before sniffing back, countering the kitty smacks with a few curious licks to these strange creatures]

As a feathery dog you can still be part of her pack, so it’s basically the same as you as human. She’ll teach you which guys to bite if they try anything funny.

...But I guess I can be doggo au pair, if you’re already worried about being irresponsible.

[One kitten straight up falls over from being licked, and the rest run around him in alarm and excitement!!

Griffin looks on with amusement, before putting all the plates of food down.]

Great. I knew I could count on you.

Sure, sure.

What're you gonna name your dog?

Didn't I say you could name her?

'S your dog. You wanna make sure she's got a good name, right? Not like Butts or something.

...

You would not name her Butts.

Try me. Ms. Wiggly Butts, Ph.D. I can see it on business cards.

[to be fair, she does seem to wag her tail enthusiastically at the cats and the room and the cat food, even if no one seems interested in sharing it]

Ooh, Butts is her maiden name. Well-- I guess you better start printing those cards then. She sounds very accomplished.

You're not marrying her off already, are you? There's better ways to come up with alliances, y'know.

Are you kidding me. Puppy dates sounds like the best fucking grounds for an alliance ever.

'Sides, doesn't Requiem have a dog?

Yeah. But marrying her dog ain't gonna do much to change Zrael's decision-making process. ...You might need to go be fluffy at Dia or something.

How hard could that be? She seems like a total bleeding heart.

Yeah, and she's got Stabs Guy and Man Eater in her pocket. So if you need extra insurance, that's what I'd do.

Are those names accurate?

[Alarming but also: hmm exciting.]

Fine, Man☆Eater and D☆★dleman...or something like that. The short green hair guy and the dumb tattoo guy.

[her star pronunciation is a bit wobbly but not absolutely terrible]

[H...how are you saying the star.]

Well. Maybe they like dogs too. I leave it to you t'endear them.

[tongue position is important]

...I guess I can set you up with a date...maybe. I dunno if you're their type, though, you might have to clean up some to impress.

She's a puppy, how much cleaning up does she need...

I meant you. She is perfect.

[HOW DID WE START TALKING ABOUT MARRYING ME OFF]

I've got way too many suitors already, thanks!!

[When were we NOT talking about marrying you off]

One, gross. Two, whose fault is that? Ain't my fault you got plusses to hoeing. You may as well use that power for good.
