What is this?

Upon seeing and hearing the small pup's reaction to his introduction, Jed couldn't help himself and let out another hearty chuckle. She was adorable. "Well.. we aren't really related, little Rose." There was a short moment where he pondered on how to best explain and in the end he shook his head a bit. "Not by blood, anyway. I do believe, however, that we are all perhaps in a sense.. a family in spirit." Maybe that was too much for a pup to process and he lowered his head down further to her level, golden eyes bright.

"Maybe I can explain more about that some other time, eh?" The male's ears pricked forward and a twinkle lit in his gaze, his body shifting into a stand before he shook the lingering snow off his brown and cream coat. "How do you like to have fun?" The question would surely spark a reaction out of her, as her previous body language would suggest the potential energy she may contain.
