Hades smiled as he watched, leaving soundlessly a moment later when Alpha lies down to rest. When she wakes up, there is food next to her and a skeleton standing nearby holding various bits of grooming equipment. There's a note in its ribcage:

[I]I am unsure as to whether or not you need or want grooming, but the skeleton will provide it if you ask. I apologise if this is offensive to you, but I prefer to cover all the bases.
