tune

Lloyd whistled and said another short command to Kouru, who then hopped up onto the cot to lay beside Ellis.

Ellis blinked as the dog hopped up, reaching over and wrapping an arm around him.

"He'll tolerate just about anything. He's really a sweetheart." Lloyd smiled.

He nodded a little bit, stroking the dog. "I can tell."

"I can show you where we keep the dogs at some point. Then you can go visit them. They do enjoy company."

"Okay! Thank you." he replied, smiling up at Lloyd.

"No problem, Ellis." Lloyd returned the smile. He honestly really enjoyed being called by his actual name for a change.

Ellis nodded a little bit, still petting the dog. He didn't even seem to realize that maybe it was a bit disrespectful to say Lloyd's name like that.

Kouru yawned and lay his head down, his tail still wagging weakly. Lloyd sat back down. "I think one of our dogs had puppies recently, actually."

Ellis let out a faint gasp. "It did?" he asked. "Can I see them? Once I can walk??"

"Yeah, of course." Lloyd laughed at Ellis's enthusiasm. "She's off duty to raise them at the moment, obviously. She's had litters before and she's always a great mother."

He smiled, blushing a little bit at his own excitement. "Right. Yeah." he ducked his head, hiding his face in Korou's fur.

"Her name is Misha… I don't believe the puppies have been named yet. I think the father was either Julius or Kielven. They're the ones we see hanging around the females most often."

He nodded a little bit. "Ooh. Alright." he replied with a soft, happy smile.

Lloyd returned the soft smile. "There's four of them. All strong and healthy. The strongest puppies stay here, usually, and we adopt out the others."

He nodded. "Aww." he replied. "I bet they're cute, aren't they?"

Lloyd nodded. "Mhmm. Most of our dogs are huskies. Most of them white like Kouru. They're just hyperactive balls of fluff."

"Awwww. They sound adorable!" he cooed.

"They really are. I can probably go grab one if you'd like."

His eyes lit up. "Can you??" he asked eagerly, biting his lip.

"Yeah, of course. I'll be right back." Lloyd grinned and left the room.

(gtg soon)

He squirmed a little, wishing he could sit up. "Thank you!"

(Np)
"No problem!" Lloyd called back. He returned within a few minutes with a fluffy, white husky puppy in his arms. "This one's the most chill, so I figured he'd be good for a visit."

Ellis's eyes lit up when he saw the squirmy little puppy, reaching out. "Can I hold him??" he asked excitedly.

"Of course." Lloyd transferred the puppy to Ellis. It immediately started licking him and whining happily, seeming excited to see a new person.
