Check up? No. Check down
Halo <3

The boy righted himself, and Halo smiled softly. Puppies were... bouncy. If they fell over, usually they were able to right themselves and go on with life easily, but she still had to check. Had to make sure. Her gaze was shining, gentle as she assessed the boy from her distance before coming closer. He would be big, that was for certain. Big paws, and he would certainly grow into them in time. For now, it made the pup extra clumsy... endearingly so. As he nodded, Halo smiled. "Hello," her voice was soft, carrying the short distance between them. "I am Halo, what's your name?" She'd figure out which pups belonged to which names, and she'd be able to assess them all as they grew. Sirius had sent the pup to her... ah yes, to check if their bones were big. Halo's smile was genuine as she gazed at the pup, carefully moving to a comfortable space. "We want to keep track as you're growing up, and make sure everything is as it should be." She came to stand beside the young boy, nodding at his question. "I will be soon, I just finished tilling the soil and digging out all of the rocks today. Do you have a favorite flower?" After all, what was a garden without flowers. Halo would plant them in the gaps, and they'd be able to use them for dyes after the petals were collected and mashed. For a moment, Halo disappeared into her den, pulling a piece of charcoal from one of the stashes hidden inside. From there, she moved towards the tree that was just past her den. She'd have to ask Sirius about maybe putting some walls up for privacy sake, but this would do for now. "Are you ready for me to start the check up? It won't hurt, but I will need to touch your hips, elbows, and knees at some points. Is that okay?" Right, consent was key. In moments like this, some of the timidity dropped away from Halo, and she was a professional who took her duties very seriously. |
