Kes felt a surge of guilt as Jube walked toward her, but she forced it away. It was a stupid, narcissistic thought to believe that she could have any such power over a person.
"You sound like you had fun," she said, as Lupo got up and began to yap and bound around Jube, trying to lick his face. 
Kes looked to Milo as he spoke and took out their food supply. There was enough for at few more days, especially since most of it was dried meats. She threw a piece for Lupo, who went bounding clumsily after it, gave some to Jube and then took some to Milo.
"Thank you," she said, offering the food to him too. "I know you didn't have to, but I know Jube really appreciates everything you're doing."
SHe smiled, a soft smile.
