Born and bred on the Tranquility. It's a little easier for him, I expect, jumps and things, people coming and going.
[ He whistles, sharp, snagging the labrador's attention. ]
I'll get him settled -- make yourself at home, as you like. Liquor's on the dresser.

Not strict and tidy, but not overly messy either. ]
