*is arriving back from a late lunch with Egalmoth (with some shopping bags in either hand but that's the price she pays for walking home through the shopping district)* *does see you, of course, and turns up her nose at you, even though Marigold's tail starts to wag even more at the sight of her (d'awww)*
*has actually walked past you before she takes in how pale you look and, really, you have a death grip on that poor dog (who's pretty dumb, in all honesty, and probably can't afford any oxygen deprivation)*
*slows to a stop and turns around, debating whether to say anything, and wishing there was someone in the vicinity to transmit a message to you*
