Cerbie lets out a little whine and hops up onto Ryo's lap again after a few tries, this time moving immediately to Lagos and nuzzling him with his plush nose. He won't lick again, he promises! Please let him stay so he can learn all about you and your owner! Please? He'll even settle down and be quiet, he swears on all three of his tails! Cerbie curls up next to Lagos' pocket on Ryo's lap, plopping his head down on Ryo's thigh and letting out a little huff that dogs do once they've settled in perfectly to a comfy spot. And after such a long run to the spa car, no wonder he's tired!

It's getting easier to figure out who the owner of this cute plushie might be, if only because the plush paws mimic a passenger's flaming feet almost perfectly... and hey, here he is now, coming in with a fresh batch of hot chocolate and tea in piping hot mugs!

"Hey, Ryo, and... Cerbie?" Zagreus asks, blinking a few times. "I'm pretty sure I closed the door when I left. So how did you get out?"

Cerbie perks up immediately, his tails bumping rapidly against Ryo's legs as he pants out his excitement. But he's going to stay put! He promised Lagos he would!
