Ellis held the puppy carefully, laughing softly as it licked at him, petting it gently. "Hi, sweetie." He cooed to the fuzzy little creature.

Lloyd smiled as he watched the interaction. The puppy squirmed to try and get closer to Ellis, yipping in excitement.

Ellis laughed softly, smiling as he cradled the puppy close. He looked down at the little fuzzy thing, with its soft fur and downy wings.

"I don't think they're old enough to fly yet." Lloyd said, examining the puppy. "Their wings aren't quite big enough to support them."

He nodded a little, still petting the squirming, licking little puppy. "So cute." He cooed.

"What do you think we should name him?" Lloyd asked, gently scratching behind the puppy's ears.

Ellis blinked, looking up. "I…I don't know." He replied, biting his lip as he snuggled the puppy close.

"Usually I keep a theme with litters, or at least try to… I'll have to bring you to see his siblings."

He nodded. "Once I'm a bit more healed, yes." He replied, cooing softly at the adorable little puppy.

Lloyd nodded in reply. "Just let me know whenever you want to go."

Ellis nodded slightly, still petting the puppy, smiling down at him.

Lloyd sat back down and sighed. "Do you like him?" He asked.

He blinked, and nodded. "Mhm. He's adorable." he replied, still petting and holding the adorable little thing.

The puppy yawned and lay down, cuddling up against Ellis's chest. "Yeah… he's a sweetheart. I wish I could just keep him as a pet instead of having him be a guard dog, you know?"

He nodded, still stroking the sweet little puppy. "Couldn't you ask to keep one just as a pet?" he asked, looking up at Lloyd.

"Maybe… I'm not sure. A strong pup like him, I don't really like my chances. A runt would be a different story." Lloyd sighed.

He shrugged slightly. "As long as you have plenty of energy to train him with, he would be fine." he replied, still petting the adorable little thing.

"I just mean that… they'll want to keep him as a guard dog. He's strong, and eager. They'd be more willing to let me keep a runt since it wouldn't make as good of a guard."

"Oh, right." he replied, looking down at the puppy for a moment. "Still." he shrugged again.

Lloyd shrugged. "Who knows? They might let me. I'd love to personally train this little guy."

He nodded. "Can I help? Maybe?" He asked, looking up at Lloyd curiously.

"If they let me, sure. I can show you the ropes of dog training." Lloyd smiled gently.

Ellis grinned happily. "Thank you!!" he said, looking up at Lloyd.

"No problem, Ellis. Really you just need to know how to discipline a dog and reward them properly… all the dogs here are highly trained by professionals, of course."

(Gtg soon sorry)

He nodded slightly. "Right. I helped my mama train my dog, but I was pretty little, so she did most of the work. I just fed him treats."
