Well' Leslie thought miserably as he saw Arons hand on her paw, '
it's not Mommy."
Hey...heylo, Miss Vera" he said uncertainly, stepping out from behind Leroy's leg and giving a small wave as he stood near the human. "
It'z nyce tew meetchu too." He smiled a nervous little smile. He saw the leg. "
Yew're hurt?"

"Should we leave the two of them alone for a while? It looks like they might have some catching up to do. I've got the records you brought in earlier, by the way, but I haven't had a chance to look through them yet. We only got out of surgery a couple of minutes before you arrived and then we had to check on our other patients so..." she shrugs.
"It's part of the reason we're not quite ready yet. Sorry about that."
"
Um" leslie said, looking up at the nice Human lady in the white coat, "
If...if...if it iz a gud idea?" He looked up at Leroy, heart hammering into his throat with nerves and thoughts of being turfed out. "
Um... if Miss Vera iz comin' bak tew her bed... kan... kan I sleep on the sewfa?"
"
Let's step out first, Les.." Leroy says, agreeing with Samantha. They all walk out the room, closing the door behind them. Leroy finds a bench near the room and sits, gesturing for Leslie to sit also.
"
Vera's bed is still yours, don't you worry about that. Vera will be sharing with Aron, and since Vera's hurt, you'll have to be careful around her too. Just for a while, until her leg is healed. Is that okay with you?" Leroy says matter-of-factually. "
We said we'd help you, but right now I'm a little more worried for Vera.. As your still staying with us, what would you like for dinner?" He said the last bit with a smile.

Vera sighs as everyone leaves, then looks to Aron.
Aron turns to Vera, a slight smile on his face. "
We've finally found you.." he says, walking up closer to her.
"
Well, here I am.." She says with a light chuckle, which turns into a cough.
"
Whoah, Whoah, you okay?" Aron says, looking concerned.
"
Fine.. Body doesn't agree with me.." Vera stifles out, putting a paw up.
"
That's what I've been wondering, what happened?" Aron asks, rubbing her paw with his.
"
Looking for you.. Found trouble and ran through a bramble thicket I think.." She says, looking at her leg.
"
Trouble? Who?" Aron pushes, brow furrowing.
"
I think it was hunters.. They saw me in the forest and almost shot me.. I ran.."
"
Oh dog.. At least your okay.. How did Leroy find you?"
"
I don't know.. I was in a bush, hiding, then I was in Lee's car.."
Aron was silent for a moment, then leaned over Vera and kissed her forehead. "
He always said he'd find you, and he did.. That's all that matters." He said after, smiling. "
Leslie's gonna enjoy getting to know you.."
Vera looked away. "
Maybe, but he looked upset when he came in.." she says, keeping her paw on Aron's.
"
He was probably just surprised by your.. Injuries.." Aron says, looking behind him at the door.
Vera turns back, smiling. "
..Yeah, probably. When did you meet him?" She asks.
"
Yesterday, actually.. He was standing in front of a TV store.. He'd been separated from his mother quite a while ago.. we're helping him find her. No luck yet, of course.." Aron says, keeping his eyes on the door.
"
Hm.. Well, If I know Lee, he'll help him find her.." Vera says confidently, patting Aron's paw.
Aron looks back at Vera. "
I think we should look after you first.." He says, gesturing to her leg.
Vera nods, smiling.
I truly hope he does..
(Ooc: Late, sorry!)
