If any such thoughts ever found their way into her brother's mind Novella, in fact likely the entire family would have been rather horrified. It was technically the truth, there was no denying he was a little different and whilst others may have had opinions upon that, it was rather impossible for his family to care any more about him. A biased opinion but to them he was needed in the world, and there could never be enough joy and Novella at least had certainly found that he often brought a lot of it to them.
Novella smiled at his response, not that she had really expected any other answer given his enthusiasm for the pups. They had all taken quite the liking to them though, even Howl she had noted had softened in the presence of the pups, the entire family had certainly taken quite the liking to them. They had the Anthem effect it seemed, Novella was certain each of them had found a way to bring a smile to her face.
Her smile widened now at Anthem's request to play. Without even waiting for an answer he had dipped his body into a little bow, clearly eager for some kind of game. Such an invitation was certainly hard to ignore and she had no plans on disappointing her brother. Her own answer was given in action as she altered her course of direction and bounded towards her brother.
