[Okay, so there are two parts of this post.
The first is relatively simple; needless to say, the puppy she has been taking care of is a year old by this point... and
probably shouldn't be called a puppy anymore. A bear is a better term. But as all dogs are at this age, they have this tendency of being super energetic. And big dog plus energy plus small girl walking huge dog?
Well. Noel's going to have some trouble walking him around Luceti today. Those piles of leaves look awfully fun to jump in, and Noel may as well be dragged along for the ride... despite the fact that the weather is bad for being dragged in the dirt.] Sooool-- kyah!

Well. After that wonderful morning walk experience that Sol must have enjoyed, Noel will somehow manage to lead the dog home. Thankfully, the not!puppy has tired himself out from today, so Noel is... free to get a cleaner set of clothes upstairs, or something. Which she'll do. Unfortunately, the journal is, yet again, recording itself for the village to hear her loud and clear.
...sigh.] That was exhausting... I'm going to need to wash these. [*rustlerustlerustle*...shudder.] It's been getting so cold lately. I guess it's that time of year, huh...? Back in the Academy...

...] Eh? That's... strange. --Ah! You!
[She charges over to the journal.] Again!? Seriously!?! Is this journal busted or something!? W-Why does it always have to--
[...............] Oh... oh.
[She shuts it. 8|]
