In her silence, Novella's ears pricked at the sound of another. Head turned subtly and her mismatched eyes caught sight of Sound as the pup began to stalk towards her. For a moment she wondered what the young girl was doing to close to the borders, though deciding not to question it, she simply remained thankful that she was here to protect her niece if need be. The girl was probably just curious and had wanted to explore a little further, Novella knew all about that.
With a small smile she'd lower herself to the ground and still pretend that she had no idea that the Song look-a-like was here. Gaze diverted ahead once more as she heard the pace quicken and then the small pup leapt on her with an almost humorous attempt of a growl. She certainly didn't laugh at Sound though and instead feigned the surprise from the terrifying attack. "Ahhh!" She would exclaim, so shocked from the incoming little furball. "Oh no! You got me!" And she would carefully flop onto one side as Sound grasped hold of her.
