[Marty looks... sad today. Not that it's entirely unusual, but he can't bring himself to even look right at the scroll when he opens it up.]

Hey, so I might just be jumping the gun here, but does anyone know how to sell a house? I probably won't be able to pay the bills here by myself.

[He attempts to say this casually, but judging by how he's rubbing his arm and still not actually looking at the screen, something must be up.]

Perhaps not, but. Even if she had cause to be furious with me...I can face it if it'll make you happy.

[He sighs.]

That dog will help us as well...though come to think of it, that might be why she's never liked me. I fall into the category of 'dog person'.

If she hated dog people that much she would have kicked me out the moment I suggested getting one, Doc.

[He playfully rolls his eyes.]

[He laughs.]

For her to tolerate a dog for your sake...she's really something. I hope I get the chance to thank her someday.

I'm sure you two would get along eventually. She's usually not super warm with people she's just met anyway.

[Wow way to paint a glorious picture of Arcee, Marty.]

[4thdimensional]

You don't say...but if she was that fond of you, she's worth knowing. I'll give it my best.

[His smile stretches on.]

And since you're sure it's all right with her...I'll most definitely be adopting a dog this week. Assuming the shelter still has one available.

[thepoweroflove]

I'm sure they'll still have one. If not I'm sure some place could have a dog we could adopt.

Excellent. Naturally we'll want one who's comfortable with both of us...and he's got to have that thirst for knowledge. I'll know it when I see it, I've done this dance a time or two before. My testing hasn't failed me yet! The perfect partner's out there, I guarantee it.

[Yes. He's going to treat this like a job interview. A very fuzzy, cuddly job interview.]
