Anna had seen quite a few dogs during her travels. Sweet and innocent ones no matter what had happened to them during their life that only wanted to be loved and cared for,  such as Amadeus, and jaded smart ones like his son Ijemaru for example. "Time will tell. Certainly he will not be an equal partner. Perhaps more of a companion more than anything." Amadeus Hisaka would never come close to replacing her Alexi. Not by a mile. "I'm sure it will provide quite the relief from the blood thirsty competition for the highest seat in the land, even if it just a play for power for that very seat," Anna said with a small satisfied smile.

The redhead is excited by the possibility that she might get to ride Sheba again. The horse is a marvel, and clearly she knows it. "Your majesty, might I ride Black Sheba again? She was such a wonderful mount the last time," Sofia asks softly. If not she would just choose a less royally favored mount to take out on the trails.<br/><br/>Molly looked over her shoulder. "Good evening." Ah, the strange girl from last night.
