Re: lakeside mansion; hugh c./dietre a.
"I doubt Heart would miss it if she did take it home with her," Hugh laughed as an aside, teasing Seiglinde gently with the toy, even as Heart came bounding over to play with it. "Be nice," he told his Dog, and Heart wagged her tail, and then tackled the toy, or Hugh, with a fond playfulness.
"I think it'll be good," Hugh stood back up, pulling the toy away from both dogs and giving them both friendly pats behind the ears. "I'll be right back then and I'll grab them," he gave Dietre a quick smile. "I'll grab us each a sparkling water too, if you want and let's see if we can wear them out!"
