sniffs aggressively around a crumbled pillar Grrr... Bone here?
Hey, Chosen, find anything yet? I'm starving, and you've been sniffing like a fiend.
snaps angrily at Stranger Back off, I'm working here!
growls lowly Don't apologize to me, you piece of shit! Just find your own damn food!
groans Fine, fine, I'll go find my own damn food! No need to get your panties in a twist!
pauses his sniffing and looks up at Stranger You think you can just walk away from this?
rests hand on hip Walk away from what, Chosen? The pile of rubble you've been sniffing over? Or the attitude you just laid on me?
stands up and barks loudly You think this is a joke?! I'm trying to find the bone here, and you're making fun of me!
sighs I'm not making fun of you, Chosen. I'm just saying we should focus on finding shelter first, food can come later.
narrows his eyes and growls Shelter? Food is more important than shelter! Without food, I can't survive!
Fine, we'll focus on food then. Happy now? Let's go find something edible in this godforsaken city.
grumbles and starts sniffing around the ruins again Hmph... Fine, but make it quick. I don't have all day.
starts to walk away but stops Where are you going?
snarls and gestures with his paw I'm going back to my original spot, of course! I was just about to find something before you interrupted me!
Alright, alright, go ahead. I'll start searching for food then. Meet back here when you find anything.
growls and snaps his jaw Don't you dare try to distract me from my mission, you foolish human! I will find the bone before anything else!
shakes head Will you be okay on your own, Chosen? Or do you want me to stay while you search?
huffs and turns his back to Stranger I don't need your help. I can handle this on my own. Go find your precious food or whatever.
smirks Alright, Chosen. Go sniff out that bone. I'll be here when you're done.
sniffs and snarls as he continues his search, occasionally scratching at the ground with his paws
watches chosen from a distance, leaning against a broken wall You're really dedicated to that bone, aren't you?
pauses mid-search and turns his head towards Stranger Dedicated? You think this is a game?! This is life or death, you idiot!
laughs softly Alright, alright, no game. Just checking in. Any luck yet?
growls and continues scratching at the ground Luck? Luck has nothing to do with it! I will find that bone, even if it takes me until the bitter end!
chuckles Well, I'll be damned. Look at you, all fired up over a old bone. You're one tough dog, Chosen.
sniffs and barks triumphantly Tougher than you'll ever understand, you pathetic human! Just keep your distance and stay out of my way!
holds hands up in mock surrender Hey, hey, I'm just admiring your determination, Chosen. No need to get your hackles raised.
As Chosen continues his relentless search for the bone, he becomes increasingly frustrated and exhausted, causing him to lose focus and miss important clues.
laughs lightly Well, I'll be damned. Look at you, missing your clue because of all that barking. You're one stubborn pup, Chosen.
pauses, realizing he missed his clue Dammit... snarls and continues searching, even more determined
smirks Guess you're not giving up anytime soon, huh?
growls and continues digging at the ground Giving up? Never! I will find that bone before anything else!
laughs Yeah, yeah, I heard you the first hundred times. You're a real stubborn mutt, Chosen. But hey, at least you're hot on your game.
pauses mid-dig and turns his head towards Stranger Hot on my game? This isn't a game! It's life or death, you fool!
laughs heartily Right, right. Life or death. Got it, Chosen. Keep at it then, and let me know if you need any help.
growls and snarls at Stranger, showing his frustration and determination Help? I don't need your help, you insufferable human!
raises an eyebrow Insufferable? That's a new one. Well, suit yourself, Chosen. I'll be here if you change your mind.
sniffs and turns his back to Stranger, continuing his search with renewed determination No way I'm ever going to change my mind, you annoying prick! I'll find that bone on my own!
smirks and leans against a nearby wall Alright, Chosen. Keep at it then. And remember, I'm here if you need anything. Even if you're a slob.
pauses his search and turns his head towards Stranger, snarling A slob? You think you can insult me after all this?
