[Elle isn't entirely sure what to do with herself. In the end, she decides to lower herself into a crouch, holding the package of meat with both hands.]

This world is full of all kinds of danger... I mean, it's pretty hard to pick out creepers, right? Maybe, if the dogs are more loyal, they aren't gonna run when they get scared because of them... [She trails off, thinking of how skittish the coyotes are back home. They've been content to walk with her sometimes, on occasions when she was out walking the Mojave by herself, but as soon as there was something dangerous...] Are they really that much more loyal than regular trained dogs? I mean... Rex and Roxie, they've always been prone to running to danger, because their protective instincts have been bred so strong... I thought that it was pretty much the same.
