"No," she replied slowly first to Jillian while stealing glances from the girl who had introduced herself as Piper, successively. "Something much smaller and definitely with more hair."
Seizing the opportunity to throw a disdainful leer at TK's dog, Daphne pointed him out. "He's quite alright when he's not trying to devour me. There's no need to worry about me--Piper, was it? I'm Hopton. Daphne Hopton."
Again, the 12 year old extended her hand and again--she reigned in the need to throw her father's prestigious name around as if it was a golden shiny trophy.

"You sure you okay? You look like murder. Pale white." She said staring intently at Daphne's eyes, as if trying to see what she saw.
"Small and has hair? Dun' tell me you got attacked by a pygmy puff. You could've just put a jar on top of those little buggers." Jillian was shocked. If Daphne really did get attacked by a pygmy puff, then she'd need protecting. "Dun worry about a thing, lovey. I got yer back. Jillian's here for you for anything!" she flashed Daphne her widest grin, emphasizing that she meant every word. "Erm...I'd give you a hug but I think you'd freak out even more."
"Who's alright?" Jillian asked, a little confused. She looked over to where Daphne was pointing and saw...a dog. "You were scared of that cute little doggie. Oh, Daphne, yer so delicate. It en't gonna hurt you! It just wants to play."
Piper stood somewhat awkwardly by the two girls as they conversed. She shook Daphne's hand and smiled,"Yes, I am Piper. It is nice to meet you Daphne." She said as she shrank back at the other girls cavalier greeting to her.
Her eyes went wide and she wasn't quite sure what to do. She looked over at the dog and she smiled a bit, her little sister was afraid of Dogs. So she could relate a little bit. " Play or not, sometimes those little fuzzy things can be terrifying." She said with a soft but shy smile.
