Lacie pushes open the door and stands aside to let Kevin in. Beastie, on the other hand, promptly romps out, barking a greeting and jumping up at the both of them for pets... Until he realizes it's another boy-human. He peers up at Kevin, tilting his head and goes to sniff his feet. Then he promptly remembers this is the Growly One and scampers back inside.

Lacie snorts, and leans to call into the house for her Kevin to hear.

"I've brought home another live one! This one stays, at least for dinner."
