Nicholas smiled gently at Jesse and he nodded. "Yeah, you had me at food," he said with a grin. "Inch me into my chair!"
Downstairs, Adrian helped JJ into a chair in the living room and he took a seat beside her. Immediately the dog scampered over to them and lowered her head into JJ's lap, gazing up at her with soulful eyes.
"She's so gorgeous!" Aoife squealed, as Lena cooed her agreement. "Oh hi, baby! I have a dog named Sylvia but she's living with my former housemates at the moment," Aoife said sadly, though she didn't go into why she wasn't currently residing in the house she used to inhabit with Elpis and Cordelia. It was too depressing.
"Nicholas wanted a dog in the house," Adrian said, without realising he was now conversing with Aoife easily. "I think she makes him feel safer."
"Of course she does!" Aoife cooed again. "Wook at her widdle eyes!"
