The Caregiver was growing accustomed to having Conor close by. Now that he’d taken his usual spot beneath her, Alexey took a step back and adopted a sitting position. He could still hide between her two front legs if he judged it necessary. “Yes we did,” she said, glancing down at the older puppy. A pained look crossed her face then, one that was meant for Savina’s eyes only. “It’s a long story. I’ll tell you about it a little later.” She always avoided the subject when Conor was around. Stirring up horrible memories wouldn't help him come out of his shell.
Alexey held back a laugh as both Amata and Gotham wobbled over. The way they walked reminded her of little ducklings. “They’re gorgeous,” she said sincerely, keeping her eyes on the confident little girl. The Dahlian femme didn’t know how Conor would react; it worried her a little. Their personalities were polar opposites and the Lillium's son was out of his element. But Alexey decided that she wouldn't intervene, not this time. Interacting with another pup would do him good. Her gaze turned to Savina’s son, who was now curiously sniffing her leg. She returned the gesture by gently poking him with the tip of her nose.
“Well, Emwe and Conor have returned to us. And… I now have a mate. ” she said, glancing up at the boy’s mother once more.
