( Miller's never been a dog person - or one for any other animal, really. DD had been well-received on base, but the subcommander himself rarely spent very much time with the mutt to begin with; that he left to Venom and DD's handlers. Still, indifference is hardly disdain, and when the silence is broken by the tapping of nails against ground, Teddy's presence raises no immediate alarm - well, not until the dog deigns to talk, anyway.
He doesn't jump - he can't - but despite the sound having an unmistakable directional source Miller can't help but glance around all the same, and it's a solid couple of seconds before he finally looks back to his only companion in the area. All things considered, this probably isn't the most extraordinary encounter he's had since arriving here, and Miller's tone betrays no caution when he finally speaks. )
