You're just upset I'm acting vaguely humane here, aren't you? Doesn't matter. This puppy was more important to him than most of the people around, at the moment. He shrugged and huddled her against his chest more, gloved hands jammed into his pockets and pressing up through the interior material of the coat. Even if he looked funny right now, at least it was warm. "Nnnn, not like I could travel too much. Kids can only get so far on their own, y'know. I spent most've my time with AT practice an' odd jobs." Boring, so very boring. He kicked at a snow drift as he stalked on further into the park, puppy poking her head out of his coat a bit more so she could watch where they were going.
