[ As the door opens, Anduin smiles at Persephone, before his gaze falls to the dog. Before entering he drops to a knee, reaching into his pocket to procure a treat for the animal, holding it out on the flat of his hand.
See? We're friends. ]
Not at all. I feel like he and I should be properly introduced before we go walking together, don't you?
[ Cerberus moves forward and Persephone wonders if she should warn Anduin about the other heads but it's too late. In a flash, there are three muzzles trying to get at the single treat in Anduin's hand which only serves to knock it to the floor where they fight until one head finally manages to lap it up. Once the treat is gone all three of the noses begin snuffling aggressively at Anduin.
Persephone can't help but laugh, though it's cut short with a sharp inhale. ]
[ He certainly looks surprised, but not alarmed. Rather, he seems delighted by the discovery, laughing and kneeling down further in order to dig out more treats for the additional heads. ]
I didn't realize I'd have three mouths to feed. Easy, there's plenty for all of you.
[ Three more treats make an appearance in his palm, though he holds up a hand to halt them. To see how willing they are to wait, and listen. It'll be a good indicator of how this walk is going to go. ]
[ Cerberus is a well-trained dog when it comes down to it. One just has to actually give him the orders. So when Anduin does just that Cerberus remains where he is though all six eyes are absolutely trained on the treats. ]
He is very food motivated so they all come out for feeding time.
[ Cerberus immediately gobbles up the treats with a few growls as one head encrouches on another's treat. ]
As long as you stick to the Up there shouldn't be any problems with walking him. He gets a bit more aggressive in the Down. I think he can tell how much dangerous it is there.
He has a harness and leash for walking, though we usually don't use it. And, um, since it's raining I got him this raincoat.
[ As she speaks she moves over to the door where everything is hanging on the wall. As she pulls the raincoat off of the wall, to show to Anduin, Cerberus takes one look at it and wanders off to his bed in the corner of the living room to sulk. ] See?
[ Cerberus returns to a singular head as he squeaks his bumblebee plush. ]
I think it's the plastic. He seems fine with sweaters and other dog clothes. [ Sometimes he gets fussy so she got him a shirt to wear that helps calm him down. ]
That's how Hades always refers to him. [ It's clear that Cerberus is still listening to them because the moment Hades' name comes up he looks around before lowering his head again. ] And he's had him since he was a tiny puppy.
The sooner the better, though. [ She's fallen victim to the rain's effects thanks to losing her umbrella. That on top of the injuries she has sustained had not been a fun time. ]
Anywho, we usually walk from here to the park. I let him run around a bit before we come back. But he also often goes out with me when I go shopping or to work.
I think it's less about being tired and just the rain in general. [ Cerberus can be quite the fussy pup. Though he does look over at Anduin when addressed. ]
[ He's over in almost a flash when he sees Anduin reaching for more treats. He does hear talk of the coat but the treats are far more important here. ]
I'm sure we can if he wants to go out. [ His ears certainly perk up with those words, though he's much more focused on what Anduin is doing. ]
[ Cerberus inhales the treat before looking up for another. He sees the coat and lets out a soft whine, though he doesn't go anywhere. ]
It's just for a little while, buddy. [ Persephone says as she reaches down to scratch behind his ears. He'll let the coat be put on after that, though his body language suggests he's not happy with it. ]
Let me know when you're on your way back. [ That way she can have his dinner ready for him. ]

[ And with a smile, the treats are provided as reward. Anduin glances back up at Persephone, eyes bright. ]
I think we'll manage just fine.

I take it he's not a fan.

It is a singular 'he', then?

I can't imagine it feels or smells very good to him. But hopefully being outside and stretching his legs will make up for it.

[ He wants treats, clearly. But Anduin withholds them for a moment, lifting his hand in a gesture for 'sit'.
