A pause "Perhaps following your example"

"She is a darling. I am thankful every day for you and Colton - I know they are a rarity. I suppose at some point, she should be bred to perpetuate the line..."

"WHen Yuri is of age, if you wish to breed him, feel free. As for Ladybird, well, she's your dog"

"But I do suggest you take my advice if you want to continue the line. I have his papers." He hands them over

She nods.

"When things are more settled, I will talk to you - you know her lines, and you might know a stud. Perhaps some of her offspring could return to EarthRunes?"

"She'll be a fine mother I'm sure" A nod of approval "I'll have to search. Labs are common but Fae labs. Not so much. Consider me at your disposal"

"Your use of her as a support animal and therapy dog has actually opened up possilibites I had not considered. I know some boggans that would love such aide"

"Dreamers respond remarkably well to her, at that. Little else inspires as much joy as a dog."

"They have a way of lowering our defenses." He says "But listen to me ramble. Ladybird has taken a shine to Yuri, and vice versa. You approve of him. That's what I came here to see to. I should head back to Earth Runes and let you run your barony" He looks at the sky again "Though, when next I visit, perhaps I'll bring a bird of prey. A red tailed hawk could handle the warmth"

"Thank you, Sir Sergei. I look forward to your return as a welcome friend."

"Then I am blessed" He bows then turns to go but stops at the sleeping dogs. To Yuri he says softly "Yes, I left a kiddy pool for you. And may bring you a collar with cooling properties. Wear it well"

Yuri's left ear perks at the sound but still he sleeps

Sparrow takes Sergei on a brief tour on his way back to the trods, and sees him off with kind words!
