The command was sharp but not unkind, she rarely spoke to her pups in an angry tone unless she was at the end of her rope with other stressors. The divorce had been...a rough patch for them all and she had always felt horribly guilty after.

Coconut, who was a bit better a listener than Apricot who was still yipping and trying to escape mama's arm, dutifully sat and continued to whip his tail back in forth in eager greeting to the other dog - whose butt he really did want to sniff. Coconut's leash also tangled and twisted around her own legs, Jade had very little wiggle room to work with and felt a certain kind of unease when the dog's papa recognized her. Christmas dinner had not exactly given the best of impressions, though the former Ravenclaw recognized that the blame could entirely be pushed on to her sister who had absolutely blindsided the pair of them. Or perhaps just Jade who had been primarily preparing the meal with her sister's help - vines taking it upon themselves to not-so-helpfully chop things unevenly and entirely ruining the cuts and aesthetic of certain dishes for Jade, though not the taste which had been impeccable - and had not appreciated June's attempt at a chaperoned blind date in her own home.

"It's Jade, actually, William," she corrected, her intention to be firm but all stiffness had faded the moment his dog had snatch the remnants of the Hogwarts professor's ice cream from his hand. "Oh dear...that is unfortunate." Laughing softly behind a cupped hand, as she rarely giggled, the raven haired woman carefully crouched down (would be horrid if she were to fall over thanks to her mild estrangement by leash, beside her still sitting spaniel and became eye level with William's dog. All this, of course, only excited Apricot more and the little terrier began sniffing at the air wildly while whimpering to be put down. "You're a little rambunctious one, aren't you?" Jade smiles while offering her free hand for sniffing purposes, her hands a pleasant combination of beeswax and almond milk thanks to her hand cream.

Oh Merlin, April had set Jade's dogs off now and the pup had turned from licking his ice cream to licking Jade's hand. "No, I know your name is Jade, I mean," he cleared his throat and scooped up his dog with one hand to better try to unentangle her with the other. Knowing him, he'd try to bend over and would whack heads with Jade next. The last bit of ice cream cone was now a smushed little puddle on the ground, though that didn't stop April from sticking her tongue out and trying to get at it even as she was hoisted in the air.

"THIS is April," he clarified, standing up now with her leash all free and loose finally. April, of course, couldn't miss an opportunity to lick him all over the face next. "She's a spoiled rotten little thing.... but she was a present from your sister, so I couldn't turn her down."

He was very red-faced at admitting this. All he'd given June was a welcome-to-Hogwarts bar of mooncalf handsoap, and she'd gone out and bought him a crup. These Flamsteeds, I tell ya. "What--- what are your pups' names?" William thought it would be best to change the subject to her. Was one Coconut, then?
