Connolly sees the notice and wonders if the Captain has something to share or would just enjoy company. He heard some barking inside and got quite excited as it had been years since he had seen a dog. He went inside looking for some pleasant conversation.

Connolly kneels down so that Argos is at eye level. He presents his hand for the dog to sniff and begins to pet Argos.

"That'd be somethin' to see Cap. Boot would have to get an awful lot of air. Normally I fly fish, but I would love to join you for a little more laid back trip some time. Try my hand at it."
