[ That grin manages to surprise her and she looks up at him with some suspicion, but doesn't bother to mask an amused smile of her own. ]
Something funny? [ She teases lightly, almost knowingly, but doesn't needle him over it. Instead, she crouches down to pick up the (wet, slimy) stick and stands, with Pup doing small laps around them in his enthusiasm. ]
Well, out we go. [ Cecily playfully hip checks Cullen as she passes by, stepping out the door with the dog at her heels. If she's going to be step parent (??) to a mabari, she might as well do it right. They didn't have intelligent, loyal hounds that imprinted on you in Ostwick and he's sweet enough to mollify her having lost out on some quality intimate moments.
Alas, here she is, tossing the stick into the distance and watching an enormous dog bound off after it. ]
