I'm not interrupting work, I'm mingling with the people

Hugin loped alongside Isabelle and Octavian as they walked.

He kept pace at Octavian's side as they explored the imperial orchards just outside the palace. It was pleasant outside, a little brisk, and Octavian seemed comfortable in his thicker, quilted clothes. He wore stylish purple gloves that protected his hands, and he seemed at peace.

Isabelle had Snowball wrapped up in his sling. He was much too tiny and defenseless to walk the orchards on his own four paws.

When Snowball finally caught sight of Hugin walking alongside them, he perked up and stretched. He eyed the large wolfish creature. Snowball began chattering and leaned out of his little sling toward the big wolf hound.

Hugin pawed over toward her and sniffed at Snowball, before giving a soft 'wuff' of greeting.
