Ah. [ a frown. her eyes wander to the door frame of another room before she settles them onto sophie. ] Maybe you can take Dog on a walk before you leave. He'd love you for it.

[ she had yet to warm up to him, and going outside wasn't something she wanted to do just yet. at all. ] I'm not kicking you out yet though, dear. The company is nice. [ even if she doesn't seem too appreciative. ] I thought I'd just have an empty house these next few days, so I am... glad [ as one can be under the circumstances ] to have you here.
