At the collar and leash comment, Nathan bit back a laugh – or at least tried. "I don't think she'll go for being walked around like a dog," he said, rubbing his jaw now so his fingers could slide over twitching lips to control it.
"She has a name," he continued, letting out a fake 'oof' as Sarah settled most of her weight against his leg and then laid her head in Toby's lap, looking somewhat subdued.
