The pups reached out for Robert's nose as he neared closer to them, attempting to grasp it in their tiny toes. She knew Robert was slightly awkward, and although Eclipse had helped him become infinitely more outgoing than he once had been, it was clear that he was still not ready to tackle some subjects head-on. But she did love teasing him sometimes.
"Oh, really?" she asked in an exaggerated voice to his denial that Eclipse was his girlfriend. "What is she, then?" Some part of Skye knew, deep down, what he truly meant when he said that she wasn't his girlfriend, but she did not let on that she knew - if Robert was going to be an adult, then he could act like one long enough to tell his mother what he felt. It was all part of growing up, and Skye could help him a bit - but he had to find his own way sometimes as well.
Esmeralda whined loudly, reaching out for her half-brother. Skye picked her up, and she giggled, pointing at Robert with a paw. She then offered the small pup to Robert to hold, if he'd like - she was sure that Esmeralda would, at least, as the small pup grinned sloppily, tongue lolling out and sharp baby teeth showing.
