Stop telling people I miss Ocelot. I don't.

[to be fair, missing Ocelot in much the same way one notices and is unsettled by the lack of a familiar annoying sound isn't quite missing him.]

At least my damn mutt's under control now, and I can start training it properly. I'll see if I can find a dog whistle-- he's smart enough to respond to basic verbal commands without training, but that's not what I want. I want him to respond to me instinctively and without question.

Whatever 'Hell Master' is, I'm not laughing, so I guess I'm missing the joke.

Really, Miller. I'm touched.

[Guess who's shown up because he heard his name mentioned? Never misses a trick this cat. It seemed Miller had a dog in this game too. Interesting.]

Maybe, what you're trying to say is you'd like me in the game so I can help train your dog.

[by the time Ocelot is done speaking, any trace of missing him is gone, replaced by annoyance. so business as usual, really.]

I'd like to have seen you try. I've still got scars from some of the deeper bites-- he's no DD.

[gunslinging_wildcat]

So, he's a feral dog. So what? I can train him. He likes to bite? Fine. I'll break that out of him and teach him how to train his aggression on the enemy instead of yourself.

[Bragging? Yep.]

[thatwasours]

And he breathes fire.

[gunslinging_wildcat]

It breathes fire, huh? Tough son of a bitch then. Don't worry about specifics, Miller. I can handle it.

[He'd like to handle a feral fire breathing dog.]

[thatwasours]

He is.

[and Kaz sounds, strangely, rather proud of that. you can say a lot of things about the hell dog, but you could never say he's lacking in spirit or grit.]

Too bad I've already got it handled.

[sort of]

[gunslinging_wildcat]

Really? That's a damn shame. I really wanted to train this hellhound up to see what he'd be like.

[Hellhound for a hell master? That was too cheesy.]

You good with fire, Miller? Don't get your hands burnt.

[thatwasours]

[they're a matched set tbh]

He'd burn off a lot more than my hands if he cared to.

[gunslinging_wildcat]

I bet he would.

[Ocelot isn't going to delve into the twisted fantasy of seeing Miller burnt up the ass or something.]
