[As Eustace regales her in the story of him and Valo, she is more than happy to share some affection with the dog as he comes around to greet her behind the counter. He gets plenty of kisses, ear scratches, and she even picks him up with ease to hold him in her arms for a while, burying her face in his hair and resting her head on his. Not for long of course, lest the other dogs get jealous, and now she has a line of corgis all waiting their turn to be picked up and carried...
... And she'll oblige that, too, while sipping on her coffee with her free hand, her eyes fond and full of love as she listens to Eustace.]
That's quite the story. [She looks down at Valo who is sitting next to her, tail wagging as he proudly stares at Eustace.] Sounds like I've got another hero to take care of, huh?
[Like father, like son, as they say.
Her smile warms further—if that were even possible at all—and she reaches out to brush her fingers along Eustace's hand.]
