...Okay, I don't get it. Labs hate getting bathed, but they'll splash around in puddles and make a huge mess of themselves without a second thought. Dogs are weird.

I... could not resist...

... [Wait, Duo had asked if he was named after a dog and now here's a girl who appears to have the breed he's apparently shares a name with. He's feeling rather curious.]

You have a Labrador dog?

Fffff

[ghostinthealley]

Yep, sure do!

[floralprophecy]

What are they like? This is the first time I've heard of such a breed.

[ghostinthealley]

Really? Take it you're not from my world, then. They're big, really sweet, usually really smart, and come in three different colours. Arnold's a yellow lab.

[floralprophecy]

I see. They sound like very good pets.

[ghostinthealley]

They are, even if they track in mud everywhere and soak their owners.

[floralprophecy]

I see.

So he was taken here with you?

[ghostinthealley]

Yep!

[floralprophecy]

That's good. I'm glad you have him with you. He sounds rather important to you.

[ghostinthealley]

He is...He's my guard dog. Or is supposed to be, but he's not very good at it.

[floralprophecy]

Not good at it? Why do you say that?

[ghostinthealley]

He's too friendly.

[floralprophecy]

I see. That would a be problem for a guarddog. Are all Labrador dogs friendly or just him?

[ghostinthealley]

They're all pretty friendly. He gets scary if I'm in danger, though...

[floralprophecy]

So he does do his job well then?

[ghostinthealley]

*there's a bit of hesitation...bad memories and all that*

When it comes down to it...He tries, at least.
