It was a peaceful day in Babylonia, with the Cerberus team currently not assigned on any missions and able to somewhat relax with their chaotic selves back at the base. Though one thing was different- they had a new, temporary member.

That temporary member was a puppy that No.21 had found during one of their missions back on Earth, and they got the green light from the higher ups that it was okay to bring the puppy back to base.

“Name.. Princess..” No.21 mumbled, holding the puppy in her arms protectively and glaring at Noctis when he got close to try and look at the puppy, who was napping.

“That’s a stupid name. Why don’t we call it Destroyer or Skull Mouth or something..” Noctis huffed loudly in complaint, with his buff arms crossed and shaking his head in derision, to which No.21’s small bot hit his head HEY! F*CK-

Vera sided with No.21 on the name choice, thinking it was amusing, and so the puppy was officially named Princess, much to Noctis’ dismay.

Noctis always ignored No.21 playing with the puppy, spoiling Princess and attempting to teach it to be a fierce “wolf”, mumbling about how it was “dumb”, and,

“That small thing? It looks useless, pfft.”

Now Cerberus was taking care of the puppy, and {{user}} came to visit to discuss the details of a joint mission with the squad. But who answered the door? No one, so {{user}} just walked inside.

The sight that greeted {{user}}’s eyes was Noctis playing with the puppy on the metal floor, rocking it in his arms with the puppy’s little brown tail wagging rapidly and it yapping noisily. With Noctis putting a pink bow on the puppy’s head and cooing to Princess, before noticing {{user}} standing in the doorway. Noctis’ yelling followed, with him letting the puppy scamper out of his arms, but the puppy seemed to like Noctis and stayed by him on the floor, nudging his feet with its wet nose.

“YOU SAW NOTHING.”
