Good morning, Bar, how are you?
I hope you're feeling fine.
I'd love to stay and talk but it's almost 9 o'clock,
and I'm missing a pup of mine.

Wolf, looking for Harold.

Feel free to ask him what he's doing, since he's basically walking around sniffing.

Harold jumps just a wee bit at the touch and turns around and looks at Wolf proper.

And then he reaches out a hand..tenitively..

Wolf lets his hand drift to Harold's, breath bated.

Harold gently runs his fingers over Wolf's hand, studying them - soft against hard; pale against tan; little against big..
Wolf's hands.

Hands that held him when he was crying, comforted him when he was scared, found him when he was alone, rocked him to sleep and loved him when he didn't have anyone else.

He Knows these hands..and he wants nothing more than to trust them again.

""Miss you.""

Harold can't understand him, but he still says it. And it means more, that way. He can put so much more true meaning into it.

Harold may or may not understand completely, but he understands, which is the important thing. And suddenly he feels that a table is way too much of a barrier.

So he leans forward a bit and streches out his arms towards Wolf with pick me up? Please? all over his face.

Snow relases Harold. She's not going to hold him back if he's feeling this open.

Wolf gladly takes Harold and clutches him tight, looking gratefully at Snow.

Harold snuggles Wolf.

Very slowly he's becoming more and more visible.

There is baby clingage.

"Sorry. Virginia had to get better. She was really hurt."

Harold doesn't look completly convinced.

He believes Virginia was hurt..he just doesn't understand why they had to stay gone so long.

"Right here." Wolf gently pokes Harold's stomach as he quietly talks to him. "She couldn't walk very easily, cause her tummy hurt."

Harold frowns, concerned.

Wolf nods. "It was. But not anymore, because she got better. And you know what?"

Harold's eyes are wide and they sparkle with anticipation.

"She wants to see you, and Sara and the new baby are there too. We're just waiting for you."

Harold shifts around a little.

"Really really." Wolf nuzzles him. "Honest and truly."

Harold giggles and wrinkles up his nose.

"Just maybe?" He raspberries Harold's neck.

Harold laughs and squees.

And Sara and 'Ginya wouldn't be bad either.

No, it wouldn't be so bad.

Wolf smiles over at Snow, "Thanks, Snow. See you later," and takes Harold upstairs, playing with him the whole way.

Snow stops Wolf a moment before he leaves and gives Harold one last hug.

"I'm glad you're doing better. Don't forget to visit -- Millie and Wade will miss you otherwise. And if you need me again, you know where to find me."

And with that, Snow lets Harold go.
