[For about 10 seconds, Hawke is in the shot. And then suddenly there's a big black nose. The dog sniffs the lens of the camera in earnest. And then he sneezes.]

Oh, well that's just nasty.

[he shoos the dog off and leans forward to wipe it clean.]

I see, you've all met my dog, Dr. Thunder. Please don't feed him. You'll never get rid of him.

[PUPPY!!! Admittedly not the cutest dog she'd ever seen, but still]

What's he a doctor of?

[Steph thinks she's hilarious]

[imlikeabird]

Your leftovers, if you're not careful.

[withoutaworld]

Cute. Y'know, in that... so ugly he's cute way.

Did he come here with you, or...?

[video]

[thatimaysleep]

[she stares a little longer than necessary before speaking.]

That's a dog?

[video]

[imlikeabird]

[The dog whines. He heard that.]

I think you hurt his feelings.

Showed up on the mainland, actually.

[video]

[imlikeabird]

I hope so.

[video]

[thatimaysleep]

I didn't even know they had animals that big around here.

[world-turtles aside.]

[ York snorts, amused. ]

For people who like dogs, I dunno if that's incentive not to feed 'im.

[Just a dog? Not a polar bear dog? Or a dog rat? None of the above?

Well, she's stumped. Still...]

He's adorable!

[video]

[withoutaworld]

Whoops. Sorry, puppy. It's a good thing, I promise.

[ Pause. Frown. ] I didn't know living things could show up there. Just... the only things I saw alive there were all trying to kill us. Did it seem like he'd been there for a while?

[video]

[imlikeabird]

I'm not entirely sure. Someone else found him. Glad they did. The idiot would never have survived out there without me.

[A bark and a growl.]

Oh hush. You know it's true.

[video]

[imlikeabird]

He's not that big. A little pudgy, maybe.

[imlikeabird]

When they realize how much he eats, that'll change their minds.

[video]

[imlikeabird]

[Yep. Just a dog.

And he likes you, Asami. So much in fact, he barks his agreement and licks the camera.]

Don't do that. He's already impossible to live with.

[video]

[stickshift]

Can he understand us? What we're saying?

[This is not a strange concept to her in the least.]

[agentdork]

He's a dog- they eat a ton. 'sides, he looks cute.

[ DOG PERSON, hello. ]

[video]

[thatimaysleep]

He's half as big as you are.

[video]

[imlikeabird]

Well he is a warhound. Wouldn't do much good if he was the size of a cat.

[imlikeabird]

[Dr. Thunder approves and he barks, wagging his stubby tail.]

Cute doesn't work for a warhound. Try vicious.

[video]

[imlikeabird]

He's supposed to. But he still doesn't know when to stay off the bed.

[video]

[thatimaysleep]

A warhound? [vaguely thoughtful.] Don't suppose you have more than one lying around, do you.

[agentdork]

[ MELTING. Guess who's a sucker for dogs. ]

Pretty cute for a vicious war dog.

[video]

[stickshift]

Maybe he likes the bed? Have you tried asking nicely, or getting him one of his own?

[video]

[imlikeabird]

Yes. I keep them in my pocket.

[Hawke looks back at the dog who is just wagging his stubby tail excitedly.]

Don't give me that look. You're still not getting anything sweet to eat. Besides, Bodahn isn't here.

[Dr. Thunder whines and Hawke turns back to look at York.]

See what you've started?
