I’m glad to hear business is doing well. It’s a good thing that you’re doing for them. [ He smiled a little, ] Rhy will be thrilled to hear about Mono, I’m sure. He’s quite fond of the boy.

[ Rhy was clearly attached to Mono, but for some reason, the kid stayed out of sight when he was around. The detective wasn’t about to press, since that wouldn’t be fair to Mono. He just felt a bit… Well, sad that he couldn’t be more help as far as the boy was concerned. Especially when he’d been reminded of Felix in his world more than once recently… It was something he gravitated towards in his world, in what ways he could. He didn’t like knowing there were kids about who needed help and being unable to reach out to them.

But Llewellyn tried to focus on what he could do here. Pretzel and he could be helpful, after all, if kids got lost. Both to find them and as some comfort given how friendly the dog was. ]

Ah, right! Are you ready to properly meet Pretzel? It occurred to me that I can’t recall you having done so before.
