[Peridot has no reason to really be here- she's not infected, nor will she ever be- and she's terrible at offering emotional support, but after finding out Lance is infected, she's eager to see who else is... and maybe see if there's something she can do.
She didn't come alone. She's cloaked to resemble a human as per usual, and so is what she's holding in her arms. The cloak makes her look like a chubby corgi, but underneath it, it's a... pumpkin. That behaves like a dog.
She isn't quite sure why ALASTAIR saw fit to give her such a gift, but she also feels like this pumpkin belongs to her- and not just because she jumped at her and started behaving as if she knew her when the she arrived. Strange, but not unwelcome.
And humans like dogs, or so her research has told her. And being a pumpkin, she's probably less in danger of becoming a snack than a dog would be.
Now if she could just... figure out where to go instead of standing here looking uncomfortable...]
