Egg is very pleased indeed when the new person kneels down to pet him properly. Some of the people Egg's met on his recent journeys just didn't understand dogs at all. This guy knows what's up, though. Egg rears up a little, you know, to make it easier for the nice man to pet him. (But only a little, or he'd get in trouble.) If that happens to put the man in face slurping range, well... he knows about dogs. He won't mind, will he?

Caro struggles with the door a little. It's hard to do anything dexterous like using a key when you can't really feel your fingers. But she gets it finally and turns back to see... Egg happily licking the Peacekeeper's face. She blinks. "Come on Egg," she calls after a moment, "you can be adorable inside where it's warm." Since they're all going in anyway.
