Arthur isn't a dog person. As a rule, he's not much of a pet person, largely because his lifestyle doesn't really have any room for tiny, dependent creatures. When you're abroad as often as he is, it would just be cruel to get a pet. Of course, in Baedal, that's no longer an issue. Like it or not, he's stuck here-- at least for now-- and his main excuse for his strict "NO PETS" rules has been thrown right out the window.

If he ignores the slobbering and the way the dog's fur gets everywhere, Arthur has to admit... he kind of likes having an animal around now. At the very least, Frank makes a pretty decent running partner. Of course, he's still a puppy, so Arthur has to slow his pace down so that the little legs can keep up with him. But the dog's enthusiastic, energetic, so they cover a lot of ground each morning. Sure, they have to stop for frequent pee breaks (there's just so much territory for Frank to mark), and sure, sometimes Arthur has to carry the little guy back to the house, but it's nice to have a running companion.

And so, if you're out and about in Howl Barrow, you just might see Arthur and his-- no, Ariadne's-- dog jogging by. Or stopping for a canine territorial pissing.

Ariadne is in sweats and a t-shirt, and for once left the scarves behind to get a little exercise, mostly to get out of the apartment now that those stupid jellyfish aren't menacingly floating around anymore.

Those things were gross.

So she's got her hair pulled back in a ponytail, and she's spending as much time holding the dog as actually walking it, because who's a cutie-wutie-puppy-pie?

Arthur shoots her a sidelong glance as he slows his pace down, since it's kind of difficult to run with a puppy. "You know, the point of this exercise is to wear him out so he doesn't tear up the house." There's a pointed pause. "You should let him walk."

DAD IS HERE TO RUIN ALL THE FUN.

"He's getting worn out!" she insists, giggling as Frank excitedly licks her face because human! Holding him!

"Look at you! So cute," she murmurs to the puppy, but then takes Arthur's advice and puts him back down. "He's a good boy."
