Tedalgrinche who has never had a master anyways decides to just begrudgingly accept that steph is his master now and acts as a guard dog for him as they travel through the lands between. Slowly relearns how to use his voice because as a bloodhound knight he wasn't allowed to speak

Steph is just like well hes a bit weird and doesnt talk much (doesnt know what a bloodhound knight is) and he watches me sleep but i trust him! I think.
