Ace is the first to reach the window, the black dog staring at the figure outside with his ears perked to attention. Bruce hasn't tensed up or gone into an alert mode, though, so it's more curious than anything. When the human resident appears behind him, his expression is reserved - looking at her uniform, the differences. He tells Ace to go lay down, and opens the window from the inside once the dog retreats.

There are piles of wood flooring yet to be installed, and haphazard furniture. Still a work in progress.
