Bobbi is an excellent hand occupier. She has a good ratio of places to pet versus places that wiggle when pet, and her fluff is high quality. Loki's her new best friend forever until she meets someone else. Who could doubt the sincerity of such big puppy-dog eyes? The fact there's a squeaky toy in the deal for her only solidifies the decision: Loki is an excellent tall one.

"Yes." There's no blush and no objection to Bobbi getting spoiled rotten. Verity rather likes seeing people treat her pup so well. "Best friends." Whatever else it might have been, she's sure about that. As sure as anyone can be about a Loki. But he's always going to be a reason for her to fidget nervously.

The key may look like a key for now, but keys can be all sorts of things. And all sorts of things can be keys. (This is why she gets such headaches.) "Good that you found it again. Is it showing off because it missed you?"
