[Ah, it's good to see Sparkling is indeed not dead, but he can't help but look confused when he sees his friend apparently hiding...? What's he got to hide from, he's a giant bat-
Then it happens, the next thing the captain knows, there's suddenly something at his legs. A pet? Did Sparkling get a pet, of all times? It seems kind of silly, keeping an animal inside a bar, especially with how nice The Grapevine is. An untrained animal could chew up furniture or scare away customers, especially since it's a monster and already terrifying Sparkling.
Wait, what?]
How in the world did this get here?!
[Caviar instinctively goes to reach for a gun he doesn't even have, lip curling when he realizes he's still unarmed in this world. Maybe it was a miracle that he didn't have a way to instantly shoot it, however, because this waste of time has made him realize the little hound isn't doing much to hurt him. Just being...annoying.
Perhaps by a new instinct now, Caviar's ears fold back and his already snarling maw lets out a growl. Without even really thinking about it, he barks only once, his canine way of telling the little cake hound to behave before he shows him the business.]
[Sparkling doesn't really have much opportunity to immediately explain, not when Caviar is facing down this wild animal. Needless to say he's not sure what he's expecting as the hound pants excitedly, tongue lolling from her jaws and dripping sticky sugar onto the floor.
But when Caviar barks at her, her ears perk upright. Her tail hasn't stopped wagging, but she suddenly seems a lot more alert and focused than she had been a moment before. The snarling is also not unnoticed as she steps in one more circle before plonking down into a sit on the floor.
Then she's back to panting again, looking up at Caviar with a goofy, open-mouthed dog smile.]
[Ah, there's nothing the captain loves more than those who respect his authority, regardless of who or what they are. The little sugary puppy's sit is all Caviar needs to see before he unwrinkles his face and even starts to wag his own tail.
Bending down to his knees, he gives the monster a good pat on...wherever he assumes her "head" is before just scooping her up in his massive paws. Haha, to think he was just about to shoot this thing. Good...good thing animals can't understand something like that...haha...]
[Sparkling catches sight of Caviar stooping to pick her up, but it's already too late. He's done it, and it's all Sparkling can do not to lift his wings to shield his eyes as the Cake Hound surely plans on taking a bite out of his face-
But...that doesn't happen. Now that she's being held, she seems perfectly content to wiggle happily in Caviar's arms, immediately leaning back so she can try to lick his face.]
[Caviar carries the pup over to Sparkling's hiding spot, already discovering his mistake on his way over there. One look at his hand shows him that frosting's already getting smashed into his fur, and he can only imagine how his chest is gonna get with the way she leans against him for kisses.
Despite all this, he'll still refuse to wear a shirt.]
Y'see? She's as harmless as a halibut AND she seems to understand what behave means! Ha!
[Either that, or Caviar just knows how to convey that in dogspeak, but he doesn't want to think about that too hard.]
Now the question is, where the hell did she even come from? ...And how do we find it, 'cuz that could be our ticket back to Earthbread...
[He grabs the cake hound in both his big paws and holds her in front of him, cooing at her like she's some sort of baby. Never mind that this has suddenly become an interrogation.]
Alright, ya little goofy goldfish~ Where'd ya come from? Was it some kinda portal into another dimension? Was it? Who's a good dog?? Go find the portal, mate!
[Cheesecake's entire body is wagging practically at this point as Caviar holds her aloft, her body straining as she tries to reach his face to lick it. She seems more preoccupied with giving kisses than information, but fortunately the only other person in the room who can speak English has the answer. It's just...likely not going to be a very good one.
This seems to be a pattern for Sparkling he realizes, being a bearer of bad news...]
W-well ah...actually...
[He rubs at the back of his neck with his claws, looking down.]
I think I may have...asked Mana for her. While I was drinking. I recall mentioning something about being homesick and, well...

W...what's happening? I can't see from here...
