[Duke is up and about on Sunday, still shaken from his encounter with Tig. He won't admit it, but Tig and Allison are why he's carrying an extra gun today, and three vials of Troubled blood -- one in each pocket, one in the sleeve of his jacket. It's heavy preparation for walking the dog, but Duke doesn't believe in leaving his weaknesses unguarded.
When they find Allison on the deck, Brownie doesn't growl like she did at Tig. She gives a friendly bark and sits down, awaiting the ear-scratches she's grown to expect from Allison. Duke hangs back, one hand in his pocket, watching Allison eat the bloody croissants.]
