"Nope, not a one." Fiera breezed, but didn't fail to notice how Morgan's eyes lit up briefly at the mention of dragons. A special interest perhaps? Maybe something worth looking into, maybe not. She couldn't help but flip her hair pridefully at Morgan's mention of the benefits of being a politician, however. "Oh, it definitely is. I've ended up meeting a lot of people to say the least, and you would be amazed at what sort of things I hear-" She said, and there was the very briefest of pauses as she caught herself. Ah, very clever, Morgan. Almost got her to talk about something of real substance there. She wasn't that slow, though. "About sales going on in the city! I don't think there's one shop in my neighborhood I haven't managed to strongarm a coupon out of. Certainly makes the weekly shopping go easier." She said with a chuckle. At that moment, the last person left the line and she found herself in front of the receptionist for registration. She gestured at the front desk politely. "Did you want to go first?"
Noticing that Nico had become distracted, Pauline attempted to remain steadfast herself... and yet, she couldn't help herself. She was curious and just had to know more about this strange patronne. So she leaned over slightly, sniffing quietly.

Morgan nodded. So far, so good. They couldn't help but sneak a quick glance at Nico and send a pointed 'how is it going' to him clumsily across the RoT link they always shared. Nico gave a hushed mental reply, and for once Morgan felt a little like Nico was ignoring them. Still, they listened intently to Miss Ferella, it was very possible that they might be able to get some information out of this... Information gathering was a general habit that was more for Morgan's benefit than for others, but it had the added side effect of making Morgan look attentive and interested in conversation. However, the slight push at information was obviously caught by the individual.
Clever! The human couldn't help but to give a quick flash of teeth- a smile, not a threat. I caught what you did there, so to speak.
"Sales, huh?" Morgan said, still listening intently anyway. "M-must be an excellent use of your lovely talent." A glint, just slightly, of a grin. Morgan nodded at that though. "T-thankyou." It came out rusty, as if they weren't quite in the habit of thanking anyone for much of anything yet. Not quite an afterthought though, no, Morgan was improving on that front at least. The paperwork was done in haste, with that looping left-handed sprawl.
Nico made sure to present the airs that he was not at all noticing the sniff. He would do so himself later, but only if the Matronne allowed. Perhaps his scent would be of liking to her? He had difficulty keeping his natural scent upon him, since he had so many baths and brushings during the week. However, he was sure that at least some scent was to be had. He had been brisk in their walk here.
He does allow a slow, loose wag of the tail. Back and forth, after the operation is complete.

Fiera definitely noticed the smile Morgan gave her, and parsed its meaning. The pair of them were having a second conversation below the main one it would appear, and they were both equally capable of tuning into it. (A lot like what their houluh were doing at the same time, albeit in the context of flirting with each other, which their owners were definitely NOT doing.) Fiera stepped back politely though as Morgan did their paperwork however, not wanting to seem like she was breathing down her neck. She WAS excited about this breeding, but she didn't want to seem overbearing. When Morgan was done, Fiera stepped forward and did her own paperwork, performing her usual small talk with the receptionist. When she was done, she slid it back over to her. "To the breeding room, then? Seems like we've been in this waiting room forever, aha." She said.
Pauline had to admit that she liked what she smelled. He seemed healthy. Strong. Polite, at the very least. She couldn't ask for much more, especially if Fiera thought it would be okay. So Pauline approved, at least for the time being. She leaned over to Nico and gave him a single lick along his jaw.

The human was quite careful in their dealings. They could tell from the moment they traded their first few words that this was a situation with dangerous under-text beneath it. This Miss Ferella would have to be kept an eye on! If not for the houluh pair nearby, the human would have found it easier to focus on the fact that Morgan might need to find a way to do some more research about political leanings in the area as opposed to the fact that this individual had their own houluh kennel (which would be incredibly useful to keep an alliance with- they had to keep that paramount!). It would be useful for their more current endeavors if they did keep up with politics just a tad more. The human steps back and out of the way whenever they were done. "Sounds a-about right." Morgan said, stepping back towards that way. Hopefully Nico would be speedy enough- say, how was he doing right now, anyway? Morgan had been distracted.
Nico counted that a success, turning his head whenever his human stepped past them, but catching the lick right in his jaw. Aha! That was the sign he was looking for! The hound allowed the lick, and then wagged his tail just a little bit higher, showing how happy he was in acceptance of this for now. He took them moment to sniff the Matronne quietly in turn, in the polite manner that hounds did when they wanted to acquaint their-selves. Of course, he didn't get too gung-ho about it. He was careful.

Fiera nodded and Morgan and walked through the double doors behind the receptionist desk, letting Morgan and the houluh follow as her heels clicked against the tile floors. The pups seemed to be getting along well enough, to Fiera's delight. Nico didn't seem too outgoing or eager, but that actually matched up well with Pauline's personality. The matronne was a little shy when it came to new people, so it was ideal that she had been given some time to warm up to him. As for Morgan, well. They certainly seemed interesting. Having another contact for houluh breeding was good, but she would have to keep an eye on their other ventures as well. Something about them felt... dangerous, in a way that Fiera hadn't seen for a while.
Meanwhile, Pauline was quite happy to see her affection returned, and happily allowed Nico to sniff her. "Looks like they're getting along well." Fiera commented. "Hopefully this won't take too long, then!"

Hopefully things would continue to go this well in the future. Morgan could tell that the worst was over, for today. Perhaps in the future Miss Ferella would make an excellent verbal sparring partner, but for now Morgan did not want to jeopardize what could be a houluh alliance this early on in the game any worse than they already might have done. Morgan could feel across the link that Nico was pretty smitten with the lady-like hound. She was quite pretty! A good match, Morgan decided. Hopefully they wouldn't take too much longer though, they felt the need to decompress from this (and surely the humanish would as well!) and take a step back to go over this interaction. The human would be thinking about this for days, they were quite sure! They opened the door and held it open once they got to the breeding room for everyone else.
Nico only had eyes for the pretty matronne, he couldn't help but give her more attention now that she was interested for sure. He wagged his tail and gave a slight prance with his front legs- the first show of his true excitement up to this point. Morgan agreed however, with a nod. "It was..." Hmm.... Interesting? "Pleasant to meet you, Miss Ferella!" Morgan said, giving a soft smirk.
