"You'd think, but its been quieter shows. I think maybe the previous king wasn't into rock, it's close enough one of those would probably be heard at the manor." Or maybe his attack of the manor scared people off. Who knows-

Does he hear puppy whines?

"I could work on convincing them to use the spot, if you like that kind of music."

She gives him a confused look; did he not... know the previous king? Then how-

"I mean-"

Puppy whines? Those are definitely puppy whines. But where...?

[shirtlesspersona]

Nope, Zaveid's stomach ended up knowing him but Zaveid didn't know him for too long-

He tilts his head this way then that, and starts off toward some shrubs.

There's definitely something moving under it. Maybe a couple somethings, fuzzy and four legged and rather small.

She hangs back a bit, watching him, then follows... cautiously. Whatever this is feels familiar, even if...

Her eyes go wide. "O-Oh..."

Terrified? Or completely awestruck by adorableness?

[shirtlesspersona]

Zaveid sure hopes its awestruck by adorableness, because he crouches near the puppy hell hounds, scooping one up and giving it a once over.

"A little too little to be by yourself, aren't you?"

Dove, he's going to hand you this tiny puppy and go searching with the other for Mom..

"Oh- I-"

She tenses visibly but takes the puppy as he hands it off to her, her eyes wide as a doe's and hands shaking a bit as she holds it out in front of her. She watches Zaveid take a few steps before her eyes are glued to the little fuzzy thing, and she sighs, watching it wriggle too and fro.

".....okay maybe you're not... too bad..."

....but she's still not letting her guard down. The lacing of scars across her torso remind her of too much. Not that her husband would know.
