"And Gerd is right, dogs are the best familiars."

His tail wags. "if you need any familiaring, you just call me up, okay?"

He nods intently! And reaches for the key. " I can really take it? I'm not sure you'll get it back. I might have to eat it all up!"

"That's alright, it shall go on a new adventure."

He beams and slides the key into his backpack - it CLINKS against something glass and something tin already in there. "HOOR- " pause, whisper "hurrah!"

Zara smiles.

"Oh, let me tell you what Lily was up to to help Dogmar behind the scenes"

"Oh, aye?" Interested! And... oh, not gossip, no... polite discussion over tea, of course.

Of course..

and even Connor might learn something too. For Lily kept an eye on 'Dogmar' and helped.. in smal lfrightful ways

(Fade to tea and talk)
