Toby had to blink a little to... digest the idea of Chris helping him with Holly, but he wouldn't dare say that out loud, instead choosing to nod. "I know, Chris. Thanks, for that. She'll warm up to you." He turned to grin at Chris, leaning up to place a soft kiss on Chris' lips, "Stranger danger, right?" The grin grew, before he heard a plate hit the ground and a quick retreat, followed by a whuff from Pongo.
"Great," he muttered, stepping back and heading down the hall in search of Holly. She was found in the den, curled up on one end of the couch with Pongo sniffing at her, acting as if she'd always been there. Perhaps it really had just been the mutt.
"Hey, hun. Sorry, we had to catch up," She nodded, before turning her attention back to the TV, not really interested in her dad or his 'friend'.
