Lux followed Evelyn to the exam room without comment, something for which she awarded herself quite a few brownie points. However, she couldn't stop the silent mockery of that oh so professional air as the woman turned from her to head over to wash her hands. It irritated her to no end when Evelyn did that, as though she were somehow above Lux... ugh.<br/><br/>Rolling her eyes, she made herself stop with the petty antics and cuddled the pup closer. He seemed apprehensive about being set upon the exam table... Or maybe she was just unwilling to let go of the tiny thing she'd been unaware she was using as a shield of sorts. It was ridiculous really, as though the mere presence of a puppy could lend Lux the self control she tended to drop at a moment's notice around Evelyn. The moment she realized what she'd been doing she made herself set him down gently. He whined again but didn't move as he held up his left front paw and looked up at her dolefully. Her heart gave a tug as it often did when he turned those adorable eyes on her and she reached out to pet him some more while waiting for Miss Sunshine to get on with it.<br/><br/>When Evelyn did come over to the table, Lux let her hand drop but didn't step back. Instead her dark eyes lifted from the puppy to Vet as she looked him over and for a moment the words I miss you... threatened to spill out of her mouth. Of course she realized that was probably the most pitiful thing she could ever say so she swallowed back the lump in her throat and shrugged. "Dad hasn't named him yet. Everybody down at the gym just calls him 'Pup'. He keeps hemming and hawing over how beagles aren't a 'real man's' dog like his Skipper." She shook her head and chuckled as she pictured her dad's Rottweiler. "I think he's trying to get me to take him." Truthfully she ended up feeding the dog, walking him, playing with him... the only thing she didn't do was take him home at night.<br/><br/>"Anyway," She cleared her throat, her smile fading away as her eyes jumped to Evelyn again, "is it looking like something serious? If its better I can go and just come back and get him when you're done."
