Cecilia looked at Neptune to see if he appeared to be jealous at all, but he looked up at her and wagged his tail happily. He seemed just fine with things, and stayed by Cecilia as they walked to the utility room. Minerva squirmed once in a while, either wanting to explore or play with Neptune, but for the most part she was content to be carried.
There were plenty of supplies in the utility room, the small space being more cramped than ever. They had everything they needed, though, and Cecilia quickly found a box of collars to sort through. She found a metallic rose gold that appeared to be the right size, and set Minerva on top of the washing machine to fix it around her neck. It was only slightly difficult, as the puppy kept trying to lick and nibble at her fingers. Cecilia had grabbed a matching leash before the fault in this plan dawned on her, and she burst out laughing. "I forgot to get dressed," she said, looking down at her pajamas. "And it's really cold out there. I guess I was a touch distracted."
