Although Pippin was talking to their father, Spur immediately arched toward him to nuzzle her brother's throat. Unaware that it would have no effect—other than general comfort—she swiped her tongue against the side of his neck a few times, leaving the fur there a little damp and tacky. She then drew back a little bit to look him in the eye.

"Bett'r?" she asked quietly, smiling. She then pressed even closer, wrapping around Pippin like a warm scarf and closing her eyes again.
