[Knives waits patiently for the rusty gears of Vash's mind to grind towards their inevitable conclusion. When nothing at all fails to come of this, including any sort of reaction beyond blank confusion, Knives makes a small negating gesture; it's not important.]

Is there a problem with having a dog?

[Much like before, if Vash wants to chat he'll have to keep up, Knives has places to go and he has only the vaguest ideas of how to get there, which means a lot of wandering around. As soon as Knives turns to do so, the dog bounces after him with an excited squeak.]

I thought about getting another pet human, but I didn't' think you'd react well.
