Flak halted before going to seek a look out, turning his body back around to glance at the white shepherd. He let out a slight chuckle at how worried she was. "Okay, these beasts may look big and powerful, but they're slow because they're so oversized. You'll outrun them. Or outsmart them. They're as dumb as a plank of wood, you could slip away from them easily. You've got nothing to worry about." The mutt reassured with a nod, his ears rotating a bit. "As for me, I'll be fine. I won't make my move until I know you have all of the freaks a good distance. Then I'll get Teegan and slip out the escape that I would have already found." He smiled at her as he finished explaining, shifting his focus back to the dark museum entrance.

Gavroche narrowed his eyes at Dusty and smirked, wagging his tail a little as his friend agreed and said goodbye to the female. A grin parting his maw, the pup turned his head to watch the male pad away a couple strides, then he turned back to the border collie and stuck out his tongue mockingly. With that, he leaped into the air and spun backwards, bounding after Dusty.

Lexi jerked her head up and raised an eyebrow at the two, listening as the male introduced himself meekly and said goodbye. "Heh. I'm sure I'll be seeing you around, maybe as I steal your next meal?" The border collie burst into laughter at her remark, her tail wagging a bit as she mocked him. Her laughing ceased as the pup, whom she had never learned the name of, stuck out his tongue at her. She lowered her eyebrows and flicked her ears against her head, sticking her tongue out back at the little mix breed puppy. "Right back at cha, kid." She snorted, turning around. Lowering her head, she grabbed hold of the rotting steak loosely in her front teeth, trying to keep it from touching her tongue. She trotted off into the darkness, searching for a hole where she could lay her bait to nab some dinner. As she trotted, she lightly turned her head, shooting one last glance at the two before they disappeared into the haze.
