[i]Of course, Ailee, of course.[/i]

Something's immediately wrong about this. The bloody terrier-thing reveals itself for our entry? And it hasn't attacked the piscine locals yet? I might be about to shoot somebody's overly-excited pet that was just interrupted eating offal. 

[Rolled a 7 to Look Closely - and I'll think I'll add [i]quickly[/i] to that. Three questions, and a hard answer.]

Lucien uses the moments it wasn't going for [i]him[/i] to scan the room quickly. Why did this thing wait for us, and not attack [i]them [/i]instead? What's their reaction to this happening? How dangerous does the terrier really look? In short; Is this an ambush, or a misunderstanding? 

He has two pockets to reach for - One has snacks in it, the other the pistol. He turns his shoulder to the terrier-thing and twitches towards one of them. If he's not sure about this, if he's about to learn something the hard way, he'd rather take the bite than make the shot. It's easier to treat a wound than raise the dead - unless the locals look just as hostile.

[Just in case my hunch is wrong; I rolled a 6+0 on Overcome.] 

And if it is a bad bite... well, someone is going to have to be [i]very sorry[/i] to him about this. Ailee, at the very least.
