Lloyd nodded. "The training here is… different. The dogs need to be trained to not be afraid. They're guards, after all. Soldiers, sometimes."

He nodded a little at the description. "Mm. Yeah, that makes sense." he replied, looking up at Ellis and stroking the puppy.

Lloyd sighed and scratched behind the puppy's ears again. "It's rigorous training. If this one became more of a pet, though, the training wouldn't be quite as extensive."

"Right, of course." he replied with another nod.

Lloyd nodded in reply and sat back down beside the cot. "I'm usually a part of training the dogs, but sometimes I'm busy."

"Well yeah, you're the prince."

"I am indeed…" Lloyd sighed, running his fingers through his hair. "I'll have to ask about the puppy, though."

"Alright." he replied with a grin.

"I'll probably do that when I take him back to the others…"

He sighed. "Does he have to go?"

"At some point, yes. He'll get hungry." Lloyd smiled softly.

He sighed again, snuggling the little puppy gently.

"But he can stay for a few more minutes. Don't worry."

He nodded, still petting the little thing, which was cuddled up to his chest.

The puppy yawned again and stretched his tiny paws out in front of himself before curling up to be more comfortable.

He smiled softly at the pup's behavior.

Lloyd watched the two with a gentle smile. "I'll probably take him back in about ten minutes if that's okay with you."

He sighed. "I guess." he replied, still petting him.

Lloyd laughed softly. "I can try and bring him back again after he eats."

He smiled over at the prince. "Okay!"

"Shouldn't be too long… he typically scarfs it down. I can ask about having him as a pet while I'm there as well."

"Alright!" he replied happily, still petting the adorable little thing.

(Lloyd and Ellis being pet "parents" together bc of this puppy)

(Yesss)
After the ten minutes was up, Lloyd reluctantly took the puppy from Ellis so it could go eat.

Ellis pouted dramatically. "You're taking my baby." he complained.

"I'm sorry." Lloyd called back on his way out, laughing. "I'll be back soon!"
