Puppy Love
You find a puppy and bring it back home, unknown to Reth.
Request from here by sweet Anon :)

“Aren’t you just the cutest ever- Yes you are-” You coo towards the ball of a Muujin pup lying on its back on top of the bed. You scratch its soft tummy with a giggle, lacing your fingers between its fur. The pup lets out a howl while its tongue laps at your hand.
You were heading back home by the beaten track from Elderwood, peeling an orange with a pocket knife you stole from Reth’s bag, when munching sounds filled your ears. Cautiously turning around, you spotted what seemed to be a Muujin pup eating the scraps of orange peel at your feet. It looked awfully skinny with tufts of hair missing from its coat. You thought back to when you first met Hassian, and what he told you about Muujins. Apparently Muujin pups were hidden in dens, protected by their mothers. So why would one be eating scraps of fruit at your feet?
Unfortunately for you, decision making was never your best skill, which ended up with you scooping up the boney thing and carrying it all the way back home. It had to be abandoned otherwise it wouldn't be out here is what you told yourself. The thing you didn’t think about was that 1, you had no idea how to look after a fish, let alone a meat eating beast. And 2, your partner Reth had no idea. Reth did always say he wanted a Plumehound though. This was close enough. He was used to your rash decision making, despite him trying to make you think through things by saying something like “It’s like soup sweet-tooth, you can’t just throw anything into a pot and expect it to taste like my cooking.” but you stayed the same. Now there's a puppy on your bed and a shiny collar around its neck.
The porch door clanks shut, and footsteps approach the room.
"What' s cookin’ good lookin’? Is that Muujin Bahari I smell?” He steps into the room, then his eyes pop out of their place. He covers his mouth with a slap, then walks towards you.
“Reth! Don’t say that he’ll think you’re gonna eat him.” You cover the pup's ears with your hands, pouting.
“I am so sorry, little buddy.” Reth makes his way over to the pup, trying to keep his look of confidence on, but the way he walks says he’s scared it’ll jump out and attack him. He slowly places a hand on the pup's head, then turns his head to look at you. His eyes are glimmering like a kid on Christmas, getting exactly what they asked for. You grin at the two of them before Reth gives you quick taps on the shoulder.
“Can we keep him?”
A/N: This was my first request so its super special. I deeply apologise if its not the best. Work was terrible but I really wanted to do this for you <3
