Swen finished his meal far before the puppy did, knowing that he would normally be surprised if this wasn't the devourer's normal behavior when it came to food - he was rich enough to afford the hellhounds hunger, but that was only because the two of them ate fairly cheap.

The Phoenix listened to Livia's words carefully, giving the older woman a curious look as she kneeled down and patted her hair for a few moments.  It wasn't a bad feeling per se - it seemed that it was intended to be a little comforting.  The crimson haired girl resisted the natural inclination to recoil until the tall woman decided she was finished, and started heading out the door.
