[Really, he wouldn't have blamed Kai for withdrawing the offer. He would have. Bakura focuses the Ring on Anubis, making sure he knows where he is even when the dog runs ahead. He glances back at the dorm longingly, half-tempted to go hide back in there again, then reluctantly sets off after the dog in silence.

Once they're outside, he sits on the grass, setting the plate of brownies on his knees so his hand is free. He has to ward off Anubis from trying to taste them. He's not dumb enough to let that happen.

...it's probably a little strange to see the way he talks to Anubis as if he's a friend who can understand him.]

These aren't for you, Anubis-chan. Play with Surge for a while. I know you've been feeling lonely, so go have fun.

[He rather misses the days when he could just tuck the puppy into his shirt and carry him around. He can still carry Anubis around now, when his hand isn't useless, but it's not quite the same. Ah, well. Once the dog is distracted by Surge again, he sits back and stares up at the sky. Should he really be just sitting around like this while the other Malik is freely wandering around? Even if he can't do anything to stop him, something like guilt is rising up inside of him.]

That dog seems to walk you more than you walk it.
