[Hawke laughs, and picks Rose up to nuzzle at her face.] That's not just me, then? It's good to know they're not small because they're not eating. Because Rose here eats more than a dog her size really should. Yes you do.
[Hawke isn't exactly sure she'd ever expected to hear that tone of voice coming from Garrett, but given that they share almost everything, with the exception of brain activity, perhaps, it shouldn't surprise her.
It does, just enough, that she chuckles, and sets Rose back in her lap.] How is Anders handling the new addition?
He'll come around eventually. Who could really resist this face? [She squishes Rose's face to "prove" her point.] Cats don't put up with near as much. Who needs a mean old cat anyway?
...Well, that, or she's already learning that she wants what she can't have. They grow up so fast.
Anders, that's who. [He picks up Pearl and cradles her in his hands, rocking her onto her back. She stares up at him trustingly, her tiny wiggly body still for the moment.]
I hope they do. I'm half afraid I'll step on her and break her.
[Even as a puppy there was no worry of that with Champion]
So far. [He'll likely always worry about this, okay? Dogs aren't meant to be this small!
When Rose barks (squeaks), Pearl starts to wiggle, so Hawke rocks her back upright and sets her gently on her feet, and she goes scampering off to see Rose, while Hawke chuckles quietly.]
Well, I'm glad someone's confident here, at least.

Well, she is a growing puppy. Yes, and so are you! Yes you are.
[This last bit is directed at Pearl, obviously. It seems Fawke is in good company here.]

[Sigh. SIGH!!!]
You should see how hard she tries to make friends with him. It's sad.

[And, as if on cue, Rose seems to
squeakbark in agreement.] See?[action]
