Squall is, as ever, pretty much the epitome of wanting to be left alone. Sure, he's better than he'd been, but that's not exactly saying a lot. Especially when he hasn't been much inclined to branch out in regards to making friends. He hadn't been all that good at it back in SeeD, so why should that be any different here?
Which isn't to say that he doesn't do his part. That he doesn't help out. But he tends to be rather standoffish at the best of times. Which, naturally, means it's not too long before Vanille's crocdog comes wandering over to him, and for that Squall is maybe sort of a dog person if you squint hard enough, that still doesn't prepare him for being approached by something friendly that appears to be largely reptilian. As such, there's a moment of silence, as he stares at it, before looking back up at Vanille.
"Is this yours?"
Assuming she knows how to read past the overall layer of Grump, he's mostly somewhere between curious and unimpressed, rather than outright displeased - or worse.
