[ Winston starts panting as Eddie gives him scratches. Please continue, new human, he likes this.
Will seems torn, but eventually nods. ]
No offense taken. I could make it, but- yeah, if you really don't mind. I'm on level six, cabin 19. It's in the back corner. Winston'll probably just follow you, he's a good dog.
[ Will has never met a dog that's not good, of course. ]
[ Unlike with literally any other knock at his cabin, Will is actually ready to open the door when Eddie gets there. Winston barks excitedly and runs in, wagging his tail so hard it looks like it might fall off. Will slowly crouches down to the floor so Winston can lick at his face and he can hug the dog. ]
Hi. Hi- oh, I missed you. So much.
[ He looks up at Eddie after the greeting and actually looks a little worse off in person? Maybe it was all that moving. But the smile on his face is wide. ]
Nah, man, you don’t owe me anything. He’s a good dog.
[ It’s hard not to smile at Winston’s reaction to Will and Will’s reaction to Winston, even if he does quite literally look like death. Eddie is glad he opted to come down here instead; he’s guessing that Will doesn’t exactly have the energy to make his way up to the first level. ]
Honestly, I’d have gunned for the other six, but uh, just a guess, but the Admiral probably wouldn’t have been happy with that.
[ Will laughs, and is in the midst of rubbing Winston's belly as Eddie tells him about the other dogs. ]
Yeah, that might've been too much. Good to just start with the one. Since that worked, though- I'm thinking I might ask any other temp wardens I end up with for a dog, too. See how many it takes till the Admiral gets annoyed.
Winston is a good dog, though, I'll give you that.
[ Winston 'ruffs' in response and gets back up to lick Will's face. At least it's helping Will look slightly less sweaty. ]

[ Eddie takes off in that direction, and thankfully, Winston does follow. A few minutes later, he finds cabin 19, and he knocks. ]
Hey, uh—dog delivery.

I owe you, for this. Seriously. Thank you.
