There was a fragility and also a strength that commingled within the collie woman. It reminded him somewhat of his beloved. Princess may seem small in her delicate figure, but there was a fire in her and woe be to the person that ever provoked its heat. Haven had learned early on to be cautious of his mate's moods and he suspected that the same could be true of Alaine, though perhaps in a different manner. He had never seen her be anything be completely pleasant and friendly but he could easily imagine she could be forceful if the occasion ever called for it. He would have to tell Princess that the Apothecary had new pups of her own. Perhaps the two could spend some time together and speak of motherhood. He felt it would be good for Princess to befriend a woman who had experience in the matter in whom she could confide.
The Knight was in complete agreement with Alaine's thinking on the matter of family. Even now such a trend continued in his life, for he was much more connected to the sons of Anu than he was to the brood that Naniko had birthed after his own litter. "Truer words are seldom spoken," he said with a smile. "One of my adoptive younger brothers actually just recently moved to the Court, Alder. He's a sweet young man, if a little shy and unsure of himself." He doubted that Alaine had crossed the masked male's path. If Alder wasn't at home, he was usually in the stables preferring the company of the horses to awkward social interactions.
"Maybe we can take them all down to the beaches when the weather is warmer." The beach was always a fun place, though it could be dangerous if little ones tread too close to the tide. Three sets of adult eyes would surely keep the pups in check though. At the mention of needing a favor, Haven's head tilted to the side in curiosity. As Odette rolled over, Linden playfully but gently batted at her upturned paws with his own, stubby tail wagging a steady rhythm. "Oh, that would be no problem at all! We can easily come here to keep an eye on them, and you'd be welcome to bring them to our own home as well." He was certain Princess would have no objections to the arrangement.
