[ At the greeting, Jaegar looks at Snake, as if asking for permission, and Snake nods. With that granted, Jaegar moves closer to Adrien to extend the greeting, nudging his nose against his hand to sniff at him. He might have been something of a terror as a puppy, and he still has his moments, but Snake's put work into making sure he behaves.

He realizes that the Nehada is a sore spot for everyone who came from there. He nods at the mention of Tali, having known that she and Niko became close during their harrowing time aboard that ship. Snake feels much the same about Niko's endorsement, though; if he'd trusted Adrien, that means that Snake can too. ] I don't think it's something they would do lightly. Wish there was a way to stay in touch, but... [ Snake shrugs. He's going to miss Niko, but that's not something he needs to put into words right now. And he'd rather the guy did what was best for him and Tali.

When asked about Jaegar, Snake nods. ] Yeah, I used to do mushing recreationally, years ago, so I've got some experience with it. Couldn't really care for that many dogs under this circumstance, though. [ He's content with just the one, even though keeping him safe is just one more worry to add to a long list. ]
