[ Lightning doesn't tell anyone the reason why she spends so much time outside despite her hatred of the native weather. Walking or jogging in the cold, training at the 'battledome' and barracks, visiting the stores when people tend to not be around... these things keep her busy, in the time she's not poring over the journals and library and whatever else she can get her hands on, looking for some clue towards what she's supposed to do with herself.
She's certain her time left to complete her Focus - something she cannot do here even if she wanted - is running out. Running out fast. Needless to say, it's pretty difficult to indulge in any sort of holiday mood for long, with the threat of either dying or turning into a monster hanging over her head.
Today, however, the ex-soldier has something entirely new adding to the mix of things on her mind- one that's not hard to figure out for once, considering the mild spectacle she's sort of making of herself around the outside of community housing building 4 right now. In one hand, she's got a makeshift leash that probably started its life as a drawstring to a jacket's hood or something, and at the other end is a black fluffball of a puppy, snuffling around in the snow while his new owner watches with a stiff posture and mostly neutral expression. If there was anyone who actually knew her very well here, they'd probably be able to tell that she's... at a complete loss.
Eventually, she decides to try consulting anyone who might be near their journal, though as usual, she's sure to make it very short and to the point- ]
Who knows anything about dogs?
[ And... yeah. She's definitely going to be outside with the puppy quite a bit - mostly outside CH4 where she lives, though at some point she finally just picks him up and ventures into the part of town with the shops, searching for anything that might possibly help out in this... little predicament. ]

Statue?
[action]
What?
[ The moment her puppy sees the red one too, though? He begins squirming in her arms, eyes wide and thrashing side to side in his sudden desire to be put down. ]

Wouldn't it be easier for him to walk on his own?

... It's easier to get him to come back inside, this way.

Unfortunately, the puppy is nowhere near as trained. He darts between her legs, so that she has to bend quickly and pivot in place to keep a hold of the 'leash.' She's obviously fairly graceful in general, but with the lack of hesitation in the motion, it's probably obvious that this isn't the first time the puppy has done that. ]
... I forgot to press "Post Comment" on this, sob
But beyond that? He has no clue what to do with this thing.]
