The Gorgon Room: His Return

[gorgonfondness]

Mia was sitting on the bed, Alhena snuggled up next to her while she idly scritched the pup. She looks a bit distant and a bit concerned, anger all but completely gone.

Alhena whined every now and then, sad that Papa has been away.

She knows that she should go talk to him, but she's not sure if he wants to talk to her.

He had his key and his wand, and he wasn't sure if she wanted to talk to him. But he could just say he stopped by to check on Alhena, and leave quickly if she didn't.

So the door opened, and he paused in the doorway. "Mia?" Tentative tone, especially after his convo with Moon.

At that, Alhena immediately hopped up and bounded to the door, tail wagging happily at him and eagerly babbling.

"She missed you," Mia says with a little smile, "and it would be a lie if I said I didn't miss you too. I'm still a bit mad, and still a bit worried about Miniver, but I'm willing to hear you out."

Draco crouched down. Papa!PAPA!Missedyouloveyou!younohere!

He winced, "Not so loud, Alhena." He petted her, and tried not to grimace at her fervent licking of his face in greeting.

He glanced up, "I missed you too. Wasn't sure if you'd want to speak to me before I had to go back at this rate." He carefully picked up the wriggling wolf cub, and went to sit on the bed. Gently placing her down on the soft surface again.

"It just went pear shape, really."

[gorgonfondness]

She blinks at him a little.

"Pear shape?"

She cuddles the pup between them.
