Al glanced in the direction of the voice. His face broke into a grin when he spotted Oliver. Al really liked him. In their world, Al enjoyed his company too. He had known Oliver while growing up though not at the level he knew his parents' closest mates. Oliver was good to him in both worlds, which Alby appreciated. He waved. "Hey, Comet," he said as he reached down to pet the excited pup. "This is Eragon. Oh, Eragon, don't be shy." He laughed as his dog nuzzled his arm, like Comet was going to eat him or something. He rolled his eyes at Oliver. "Don't mind him. He'll get over it."
