No running amok in the library, pup. Tris wraps her arms around the ball of fluff, scratching between its ears.

"I'm sure they'll appreciate that time." Very dryly, because if they're not hanging by their ankles in a well, they're certainly in a similar predicament. And they ought to be! More bitingly, she adds, "I hope they have a lot of it."

Then she looks down at the dog, musing, "I suppose this means you're ours now. Chime will be delighted." As if Tris isn't.

"As do I." Rosethorn may not actively like dogs (at least that she's willing to admit to), but she has no patience for the mistreatment of any animal, no matter how obnoxiously exuberant they may be.

"It is traditional to give gifts, this time of year. Apparently. I think this time, yours found me."

"I know you'd rather rescue a bird, but I'm quite fond of dogs. Thank you, Rosethorn." For bringing it home and letting Tris raise it. She's really missed Little Bear since she left him with Glaki at Discipline.

[roseshavethorns]

"I know you are." Rosethorn, of course, adored the big goofy dog as much as anyone, even if she didn't care for Little Bear's more exuberant displays of affection. But she knows she isn't the right person to be the main caretaker for an animal like that.

"You remember the rules for when it's in Discipline, I trust?"

[stormandwind]

"Yes, all the usual dog rules. It wasn't that long ago. I certainly haven't forgotten." Plus they're just common sense. She hardly needs to be told.

"Little Bear is back at Discipline, did I tell you? I left him there with Glaki last year."

[roseshavethorns]

"You might've said." Rosethorn isn't sure. There's been a lot going on since Tris arrived. "I'd never think to replace him. But I know you're happiest when you're collecting strays."

As if Rosethorn doesn't have those same impulses.

Tris presses her lips together on what obviously wants to be a smile. Rosethorn is right, even if the statement applies just as much to herself. "I suppose I am. And I really have missed having a dog."
