Lupina also heard the snap. She turned calmly to face the newcomer, while raising her left hand to give a cheerful wave.

It was strange for a monster to be heading out on a night like this, but not unheard of. Usually it was teenagers going out into the forest for various reasons. Still, this was not a face she recognised.

Lupina opened her mouth to also say something, but the glance from Sans made her pause. Usually she would have called out herself, but in this situation, with Sans here, she instead decided to hold back, letting him talk. She closed her mouth, and casually took a step back.

As she was not talking to the young skeleton directly, the dog took a few seconds to look around. Checking for anyone (or anything) else in the area of interest. she wasn't expecting anything, but it was always good practice to keep an eye out.

Lupina sat in her sentry-post, just outside town She had arrived slightly early, Not wanting to be late. To say it was a cold night would have been redundant here in Snowdin forest, but it was certainly colder than normal. Lupina shifted her feet uncomfortably, she found herself wishing she had worn thicker boots.

For Lupina the nightwatch (Or Midwatch, as it was referred to officially) was a common assignment. She often ended up patrolling alone, and that suited her. It was quiet. Calm, the cave roof was pretty. She honestly did not understand at all why the other dogs objected to the Midwatch. For tonight though, someone else would be on watch with her, She would be sharing the watch with Sans.

Lupina leaned out the front of the post, looking back into Snowdin itself. Sans had to be on his way by now, and the sooner he got here, the sooner they can go on patrol.

Lesser Dog shook their head. "Not off the top of my head. Though Snowdin is big enough that I don't know everyone and I don't read much"

"I will take this one with me as well. I... probably can't read it! but hey, It has pictures!" Lesser Dog gestured too the badly damaged manual Lesser Dog followed Amarillo to the desk, After asking the librarian, Lesser Dog moved to the door ready to leave the library. "That's was the snowdin Librarby! Its big, and has books! Where to next? ...Assuming your done here of course."

Lesser Dog had already moved over to a bookshelf. She was reading the spines, or... trying to anyway. "Cess furadd anced plyes?" Lesser Dog was reading the spine of an old human manual. Clearly advanced stuff. After pulling it out, she recognized the style of the images on the cover from the books one of her friends in the guard used to read. Advanced human tactics or something. This particular book looked very old and worn, parts of it were completely unreadable. Though that might have just been due to the state of the dump.
She was almost tempted to take this book with her. After all, that's what librarbies books were for right?

 She looked back at Amarillo. "Everything OK?" Lesser Dog glanced over at the other Monsters in the room. She felt a slight swell of pride in being recognized as a proud member of the royal guard, even out of uniform. She gave the nearest monster who was looking in her or Amarillo's direction a quick wave. "hi! Do you need something?" She asked. Mostly she just wanted to get the attention off of the Temmie, who she could see was uncomfortable.

Lesser Dog gestured vaguely down the street "Inn is that way I think." Lesser Dog pointed in a different direction, this time seemingly at an unrelated building. "Liberry is somewhere in... that way? Past that building I mean... no that... No, I'm sorry!"  Lesser Dog spun round abruptly. "I... I think it's that way! I think that building there lights up at night! So we go past that!" Lesser Dog looked proud for a moment, and then her face dropped "I think that's right anyway. Been a while since I have been to the Liberry. Turns out the place is pretty peaceful.". Lesser Dog looked around, now looking at the street itself, for the first time in a while she took in how different the town looked during the day. The streets had people in them for a start, honestly, the place looked a little strange. "I... I might be less good at this than I thought." For a moment, Lesser Dog looked almost forlorn, A moment later she was back to her eager self again.

"So... First time in Snowdin right? Must be odd. The place takes a bit of getting used to. I think we should go to the Liberry first. unless you want to go sort out a room first." Lesser Dog paused to think. "The Liberry is definitely that way...?" Lesser Dog looked to Amarillo, as if they were asking for confirmation. Before moving ahead of her towards the Library.

"Li-Berry" Lesser Dog said outloud, she seemed momentarily baffled. Then looked up. "Yea! that might be it!"

Lesser Dog looked slightly suprised at Amarillo's question. "Place to stay? Have you tried Snowed Inn? As in Snowed... Inn. Its an Inn here in Snowdin." Lesser Dog explained. "There are other places of course, but snowed inn is the best I know of! I can show you where it is if you want!" Lesser Dog glanced down at her coffee. It was virtually empty already. "Besides, you wanted to see the liberry and other places! I could show you around, I know where things are, I had to learn it all so I know where to go when things happen or go wrong. I know this town better than anyone! I think so anyway. The other dogs might know the town to, but thats because they trained alongside me so you would expe~ I am rambling again aren't I." Lesser Dog drunk the last of her coffee. It was true, she knew the streets of Snowdin pretty well. It was part of her training to know where things were, and how all the little streets interconnected, it was in places a bit of a maze. Its also true that she was suprisingly eager to show her new friend around.

It was probably the coffee talking.

"Its Coffee" Lesser Dog said happily, sipping from her own cup, "Its always hot when you get it, give it a minute and it will cool down so you can drink."

Lesser Dog always felt a little awkward talking to people she did not know. Still, Amarillo seemed nice enough, and really she was just glad to have some company. She felt like it had been forever since she had a proper conversation.

"I Rarely leave Snowdin. My job being what it is, Its important for me to stay here most of the time. What's it like at Temmie village? " Lesser Dog Looked over at the Temmie. Eager for a response

Lesser dogs Neck extended very slightly as she was petted, her head seemed to go to the side slightly, giving Yanezi plenty of room to pet. As Yanezi asked about the sentry station and the petting stopped, her neck seemed to recede slightly. "It... is fine I think. I managed to piece the bits back together. Though I think the back wall is a bit unstable...". She said, "Might need to bring out a specialist in sentry post design, the damage was pretty bad".

Lesser dog continued to enjoy her coffee. It always amazed her how loud Fia could actually be, constant talking, constant explosions, not in the scary way, she was always cheerful and fun loving when Lesser Dog saw her, but at times, it felt like she was trying desperately to drown out the rest of the world. Which is odd as Lesser dog liked the sounds of the rest of the world, at least mostly, it seemed like an odd thing to try to drown out. Maybe it was not the entire world, just parts of it? That made some amount of sense...
