Likewise, Tifa and I will be staying the night. The dogs will be fine on their own, but if you're concerned about Ferran, I can have one keep an eye on him.
If that's possible, it's a great idea. Susato perks up, her approval obvious, but then there's a yip from Iris, and her tail seems to wag even more. Susato deflates, and probably melts. Literally. A little bit. ]
. . . No, darling, I don't think it can be you. I'm sorry. [ TOO YOUNG... too excitable... not subtle. ]
I know. I know. [ She is giving Iris pets through the towel while she whines. Susato is trying to make her feel better, shhhing her like she would a small child. ] Soon, Iris. Soon.
In the meantime... Maybe Rhonnie could do it? [ She turns to the older corgi, who has been considerably less whiny. Eustace sent her in the first place, right? ]

I, It... rolls off the tongue a little easier... That's all...
[ Great. She can feel her face get a little warm. Doesn't know whether she should feel flattered or embarrassed, so it's somehow a mixture of both. Blame it on the heat.
[Rhonwhen just gives a little affirmative "ruff" and trots over to give Susato a comforting lick. There, there, she really likes the nickname!]
She's basically the second most mature of the group, so there's really no one else better to keep an eye on Ferran aside from Rose. But she needs to keep an eye on her kids.
[Is that Iris glancing away? Maybe.....
What smart little dogs they all are. And speaking of—]
If you're ready I'll get them so we can take them over to the rest.
[ That tickles! But it definitely cheers her up, so... win? Susato chuckles. More pets for Rhonnie, too. Yes, yes. Rose and Rhonnie, so mature. She speaks in a laugh. ]
Oh, yes, I'm ready. Do you want me to come in with you?
[ To get the rest of the flower pups. Eustace probably doesn't need any help, but... there are several. And only one Eustace. ]
[ That's all the encouragement Susato needs. If she'd been hesitant to get in his way before, the idea that she could be helpful just by having a pair of extra hands seems to assuage her. She folds up the towel she'd used to dry Iris...

...Without him knowing.

Unfortunately she's right, Iris.
[And she is going to WHIIIIIIINE.]
If you want to help Ferran, you should wait until he's better. He... ...Might appreciate your presence more.
[Big might. Very big might. And Iris is still going to whiiiiiiiine.]

[And then a small pause as he reaches out to pet the gentle, older corgi's head.]
Since when have you been calling her "Rhonnie"?
no subject
[ Oh. That's, uh, actually a good question. It just kind of happened. ]
Actually, I couldn't say for certain. But... I don't think she minds it. She would have told Ori, and Ori would have told me. [ Surely...? ]
no subject
No, she definitely doesn't mind it. It's cute.

She turns her attention completely to Rhonwhen. ]
We can count on you. Right?

[He's done it several times, but it is always easier to have more hands to deal with them. Especially in this case.]
I need to carry a few things so the extra hand will be helpful.
