It had been a while since Fiera had done a houluh breeding, but she really couldn't complain. Jack was certainly not a half bad person to do a houluh breeding with, and one of her males was JUST what she had been looking for. She was still hoping to replicate the beautiful golden fur that was present on Skyler's ears and tail, and as far as she knew breeding her with red houluh was the way to go. She had tried once before to no avail however, but if there was any red houluh that would work, it would be... Red. That is, the houluh named Red that Jack was supposedly bringing here at that moment. Fiera couldn't see her yet though, and it felt like she had been waiting at the front of the breeding center for ages now. (Though it was in actuality likely less than 10 minutes). 1

Red trotted along beside Jack with his head held high. He knew what they were doing, and his tail wagged as he went. He'd been sought after it would seem, especially since he had won a Salonne, and he hoped these pups would be lovely as well. Jack smiled at him and rubbed his head as they walked along, her first offspring, and from Luna herself, was such a good boy, she adored him dearly. It helped that Fiera had helped to train him as well she figured with a low chuckle. "Hey there! Sorry if we're late, he was primping," Jack said when she saw that Fiera was standing outside of the Breeding Center with a lovely golden Houluh by her side. The Matronne really was striking, and she perked up happily when she reached out to let her sniff her hand a little, Red, losing all manners, plopped down in front of Fiera and wagged his tail fiercely as he pawed at her a little. 2/20

Skyler was pretty familiar with this by this point, seeing as she had mothered one litter pups before, but she still didn't seem to take this too seriously. Even now, she stared out into the middle distance as if her mind was somewhere else entirely as Fiera waited. The humanish looked up as Jack approached though, hearing the other woman's call. She was about to scold her, but... she could appreciate a good primp. "It's fine." She said, closing up her WATT. "Skyler's not exactly impatient, so it worked out fine, I guess." She reached out and absentmindedly pet Red as he walked up to her, tolerating animals' shenanigans much better than peoples'. "Should we go in, then? I scheduled the breeding room in advance, so all we should have now is just filling out paperwork." Fiera said, flicking her ear as she glanced back at the glass double doors.

Fiera seemed a little miffed at them being late, and she couldn't really blame her she supposed. She too got a little antsy when waiting on people, and she patted her thigh to get Red's attention and then opened the door for the others to go through first with a smile on her face as she flourished, "After you?" Jack chuckled a little to herself, she didn't know how this would be taken, but at least it was an attempt right? Red barked happily and trotted through the doorway and turned, looking back at them as though wondering what was taking so long. He knew what they were here to do, and he was still a Houluh's Houluh after all. The woman was just happy they hadn't come across any mud puddles today, they would have shown up brown instead of red and that wouldn't do at all she figured with a low sigh.

Fiera put a hand on her chest in a dramatic display of charm. "Oh, why thank you!" She said before tugging Skyler along. The houluh... didn't really notice. She huffed and had to tug a few more times before she finally "woke up" enough to actually stand. It was only then that she finally noticed Red, and trotted along after him. "Oh, finally." Fiera said, breathing out with relief. Skyler looked her absolute best, her coat brushed to gleaming, but that was really because she held still without Fiera having to make too much of a fuss about it. Perhaps she didn't need it as this wasn't exactly a show, but it didn't hurt to advertise Breezy Daze Kennels' "goods", so to speak. Once they were inside though, she made a beeline for the front desk and the receptionist sitting behind it, wanting to get the paperwork done sooner rather than later.

Jack smiled a little at Fiera's antics and followed them through the door, making sure it didn't slam on their way through. She hated slamming doors, it was rude and it hurt her ears sometimes it would seem. There just wasn't any point to it. Red woofed happily and pawed at the Matronne after a moment or two when she finally got out of her daze, of sorts, and hoped she would play with him a little. He had breed with one female Matronne and two male Matronne, so it was kind of nice to be with a female again after so long, as weird as that had been, he thought. The woman walked over to the counter and took her forms to fill out as well with a wink to the receptionist and glanced at Fiera for a moment or two, "Anything new your way?" It was a weird one to ask sometimes, but hey, at least she was interested?

Fiera didn't notice the wink, or else she might have commented on it. Instead, she simply took the paperwork and started filling it out with a well-practiced swiftness, scrawling down her signature in large loops and sharp lines. She had been here so many times by now that it had become second nature, and the words on the page hardly registered to her. In fact, she nearly missed Jack's question. "Hm? Oh. Yes, I've gotten quite a few more houluh since last we met." She said, idly chewing on the end of her pencil. "So many that I need to train. I'm sure I'll get there eventually, but they're running me ragged in the meantime." She said, lamenting the pups' endless energy. Skyler certainly remembered her own puppies' rambunctious natures, but thankfully she only had one of them around nowadays that she still had to deal with. The rest had been moved to other homes.

Giving a wince, Jack nodded, "Same here, I don't really know what to do with them all at this point, so of course I'm getting more." A chuckle escaped her and she slipped her paper over to the receptionist and then stretched out, trying to touch the high ceiling for a moment before settling back down. This was alright she supposed, get this done quickly so they could do the other ones they were going to do as well, she figured with a smile. She had put out an ad for breedings and Fiera had all but drowned her in Houluh it would seem. That was fine by her though! Turning around, she leaned back against the counter and shoved her hands into her pockets, wondering if she should bring up Nina to Fiera or not, maybe she would be able to help her through her thoughts. Red barked and nuzzled up to her, realizing after a moment who she was thinking of, and he wished there was something he could do.

"Oh, but of course! That's just how it goes." Fiera said with an abnormally light hearted chuckle. Sure, she had far too many houluh for her own good, but she'd get there someday with training them. The other option was letting someone ELSE have them and, well, that was completely unacceptable. And now that she had contacted Jack with all of her highly available houluh, she was bound to get even more. Still, Jack didn't seem... quite as tuned in as usual. Like her mind was somewhere else. Even Red seemed distracted, nuzzling up against his owner instead of investigating Skyler like he had been a moment before. She frowned a bit as she handed the paperwork back to the receptionist. Frankly, that was a little rude- Fiera invited her out here, but didn't get her full attention? Unacceptable. "...You're thinking about something." She probed, trying to at least keep a tinge of casualness in the conversation.

Red glanced back at the other woman and wagged his tail, reaching out to lick at her hand if she would let him at least. He wasn't sure what was going on, but they both seemed a little... different? than usual? He just didn't get it, and so he wandered over to nose about the Matronne for a moment to see what he could find out about her.
Jack cleared her throat as she snapped back to attention and smiled a little sheepishly, "Am I that out of sorts?" Giving a small sigh, she nodded and moved toward the hallway a bit, since Fiera had set aside a room, she was sure it was ready at least. "I'm having a few issues, personal issues I guess. Do you... do you know Nina?" she finally asked with a frown. She could say 'the TROD with a soul' but that was just rude when speaking about her friend.

Fiera accepted the lick from Red as he passed by, giving him a quick pat in the head in turn. It was second nature to her by this point. Skyler finally started paying attention to the patronne, leaning out to sniff his snout curiously. He didn’t seem so bad… she was sure to get used to him. Her tail wagged slightly.
Fiera blew a strand of hair out of her face. “Yeah, you do seem pretty out of it, but at least the houluh don’t need instructions to get this done, so you should be fine.” She replied, rolling her eyes. “And look, it’s a small world, but not THAT small. I have no clue who that Nina person is. Clearly they’ve got more of your attention than me even if they aren’t here right now though. Which is impressive.” She flopped herself down on a nearby chair. “You might as well fill me in, then.”

Red hopped around when he saw her tail wag and woofed before dropping into a play stance. He wasn't used to not being paid attention to, usually he was drowning in puppies by now it would seem, if he was back at the Kennel, he was basically a large puppy most of the time himself. Still though, he hoped she would play with him at least a little bit.
The woman snickered a little at the snark in her friend's voice and she walked over to lean against the chair Fiera was sitting in. "Well okay. So Nina is a TROD, but... she has a soul? I'm not sure if I can share her information with anyone, especially since you don't know her, but... I just..." Jack frowned a little and scratched her head, "I think I get way too excited when I see her, and I'm a little confused by the whole thing, honestly. It's really been preoccupying my thoughts lately, I'm sorry about that."

Skyler was never the most playful houluh, even as a pup, but she tried putting at least a bit of effort in now. This patronne was being awfully polite about it after all. So she languidly went down into her own play bow, eyeing him carefully, waiting for him to make a move. She wasn't too good at playing, so she'd wait for him to make the first move.
Meanwhile, Fiera was listening at least a bit. "A TROD, huh? Aren't those robots? That's weird enough for my tastes, but of COURSE someone would try shoving a soul in one of those." She said with a huff. "Excited though, huh?" She said raising an eyebrow. "Do you liiiiike her?" She continued in a sing song voice, leaning up against Jack's arm while waggling her eyebrows at the other woman and flicking her tail amusedly. Teasing people was one of her most favorite past times, after all.

Red perked up when she went down to play and pawed happily at her with a woof. He was excited, but from her movements he could tell that he shouldn't try to push her too terribly much or else he might not get to play like he wanted to. Still though, he grinned a little as he pawed and wondered what he should do other than this.
Jack blinked, "Like her? I mean, yeah, she's my friend after all?" She frowned a little, not quite getting where Fiera was going with it, it was something she was avoiding at all costs it would seem, not like she could do much about it anyway. Jack scratched her head with a shrug, "I mean... should I not, I guess? She's a person after all right?" Another frown and she sighed a bit, it was complicated and she didn't like this, it bothered her way too much she figured.
