[He watches Chainsaw. It's clear she's not at all pleased about the dog in the room, and Adam feels a little bad about that, but there isn't really anything he can do about it. They'll have to get used to each other, he thinks, since Chainsaw is Ronan's and this dog is... theirs, maybe? He's still not sure.

The dog, on the other hand, seems cautiously interested in Chainsaw, just like he's cautiously interested in everything else. And is that really a surprise, when this is his very first day alive? First hour, even? But he stays pretty close to Adam, probably because Adam is petting him gently now, scratching behind his ears.

Oddly, Adam probably finds it about as comforting as the dog does. At least they didn't bring this creature out into more pain. Adam can make sure it's safe, at least. He thinks.]

Everyone will just think we're big Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles fans.

[And he does not think that is the case. At least, Adam always preferred Transformers.

He considers the dog for a moment, then looks at Ronan.]

How about Aspen? They're pretty badass, I mean, for trees. An aspen forest is really just one tree, split off into a colony with the root system intertwined. Sort of creepy.
