[Dogs tend to notice when something's off. Probably Kieren's insides in this case.

He keeps his head down, face only half visible underneath the hood, but maybe that half's enough. Pale skin, thin enough to show the dead veins beneath. He doesn't look dead, though, just antsy around a snarling dog. That must be what he heard earlier.]

I've got no idea where I am or what I'm doing here, and this place looks like something out of a horror movie but besides that- [And the irony of that observation] fine. Thanks. Is he... friendly?

[Because he doesn't look like it.]
