[Roxy was momentarily a puppy again as she greeted her father, nuzzling up under his chin and letting out happy yips. And then she was turning the attention on her siblings bumping heads with some of the older ones before dropping down to the ground so she could love on all the others, especially the boy from her litter. Guess who's bigger now!]

Very, very carefully.

[He grins briefly before it melts into a smile as all the puppies come barreling forward, unable to help but chuckle as Lady practically vibrates off the porch now.

Poly, however, is not amused and yips in displeasure at the pups, moving away from the edge of the porch.

Newt's attention is drawn to the skulking green shape, a curious look there as he starts to ask but Diana says that name and it makes sense.]

Hello Toni. [It's said without hesitation, Newt speaking directly to the Elecktrike in a friendly manner. Poly looks momentarily put off that Newt is addressing someone else but the wizard rests a hand on her head as if knowing what she was thinking. She looks up and Newt smiles at her, motioning towards the cottage.] Will you please help Queenie get things ready? [The Sylveon fluffs up in happiness at being given a job and nods with a happy purr, shooting a sharp look at the puppies before prancing off back into the house.]

My apologies for her. She's become even more demanding since evolving. Now, shall we move inside? Though anyone who'd like to stay outside is welcome to.
