~dreadtheday and I had talked about Allegra sort of being the cool aunt figure who just cared if she was safe but wouldn't tell on her for disappearing, and I love the idea that between her and Reeve Eirian's got a full set of Cool Aunt/Uncle, who are like I'm not gonna tell your parents BUT hdu scare me like that. Especially when she was small, I imagine she would be easily found out with a bunch of animals playing, and given that he's similarly attached to wildlife she probably gave him puppydog eyes like "but but the animals are so nice and cute let me play with them" and knew it'd get her everywhere.
She definitely would! And would never expect to be paid, but to the contrary would probably try and pass along any extra out of her own coffer if she has any to spare, to make sure he can maintain it.
