( Well shit. And this was a memory, of course. The dog might be very real here but could it even get out of the hallways? Damn it )

You've got two minutes.

( He can have a goodbye in private, just in case he never got one before. If he wants this one. Either way she'll step away to give him privacy before he can say no )

[ it's a kindness he shouldn't need, but he does and that rankles — but he still draws buddy near, after checking that hill isn't looking, and hugging him close.

two minutes are a long time and not at all long enough to hold on to this dog.

after ninety seconds, he gets up, picks a branch, flings it far for buddy to run after. the dog does, if more hesitantly than expected.

ward turns and joins hill again. ]
