Adeline was no stranger to attention, and she generally welcomed it. So, when Day commented on how she had grown, she smiled, prancing in place for a moment before laughing. Adeline didn't consider herself a princess, or a girly girl. But, to mock one was a little fun. It must have been when you were gone all that time, she pointed out, though she smiled. His absence was water under the bridge for her, since he had kept his promise to return. 

Her tail wagged as he said he'd been looking for her, bumping his head to hers. I've missed you, too, she said genuinely. She had quickly grown accustomed to his presence and had deeply felt his absence. 

Sooooo, she said. Tell me about her. Adeline wasn't good at ignoring the proverbial elehant, and she wanted to know about the female Grayday had brought back with him.
