the large canine had made a habit of sitting out at the dock to smoke since he had made himself at home in the typhoon. it was solitary and somewhat peaceful, free of those who complained about the stench. it wasn't so much that brad cared about what his crewmates thought of him, rather than just wanting some damn peace and quiet every once in a while. he never understood why some felt the need to express their opinion whenever possible, as it grew quite tiresome.

a lit cigarette already hanging loosely from his jaw, brad made his way towards the dock quietly. suddenly, the canine froze in his pawsteps with a groan of annoyance as he caught site of the older feline. so much for that quiet time he had been expecting. padding onto the dock with a grimace, the leonberger eventually was close enough to speak to aphra easily. "alright sweetie, you're gonna have to beat it or deal with the smoke", he said in a dry tone, glancing at the female with disinterested chestnut eyes.

brad rolled his eyes slightly as the feline announced she would be staying. it was difficult to get some alone time around this place, but a home was a home. the large canine dipped his head at her response. "mmkay, sounds-", he began to say, before aphra asked for a cigarette. brad tried his best to suppress a laugh, merely letting out an airy snort. sharing was certainly not his mantra, and he didn't plan on trying it out anytime soon. besides, his stash was way back in his den.

"don't have a pack on me-", he said brashly as he took a seat fairly equidistant from aphra. it was more polite than a flat-out no, but enough to get his point across. the hefty male shifted his paws, and exhaled towards the sky. a cloud of hazy smoke escaped his maw, inducing a smile to grow across his rugged face. "- but if i did, i 'dunno if you'd be so lucky", brad added eventually, his desire to be polite vanishing almost as soon as it appeared in his mind.
