[No, cariad, they can't. Unless perhaps they've got rather larger feet than us and can stand upright.] He's going to have to do the thing she's forbidden him from trying: he's already incurred her wrath and will just have to do it again.
Sitting up, he gives her a little canine nod. [We'll have to do it my way.]
They've but one pair of boots between them; it's not how he'd choose to go home but at least this way they'll both get there safely. He shifts swiftly from dog to human, still in the Strangian officer's uniform he wore earlier.
"I know you're not going to be happy about this, Sophie, but I've got no choice." Strictly speaking, one always has a choice and if he acknowledges it that way, he'll simply say he's chosen what's best for both of them as well as for Ingary. Before she can even protest he picks her up and tucks her into the waist of his jacket.
"Now we can get those boots. So long as you stay right here in my arms, I won't lose you. And nobody will question an officer picking up a suspicious-looking pair of boots."
Like it or not, she'll have to admit he's got both a point and a plan. Next time, though, he thinks he'll turn her into an animal whose claws aren't quite so sharp.
