[Duke Crocker...brother, friend. She doesn't see how that's possible, but she has to remind herself that this isn't her ship.
And, apparently, this isn't her Zane.
She takes a deep breath, looking to the dog on the ground. The dog is still placid, but sitting now and staring up at her intently...no, not her, the bunny.
On a hunch, Allison kneels. The bunny, Duchess, is still growling and tense on her shoulder, but when she stoops the dog plants her paws on Allison's knee. She sniffs at Duchess and snuffles, which results in the bunny going silent. There's some whining from the dog, and a couple of licks, but when she drops back onto the floor with a bark, Duchess is far more relaxed.
She looks between the two, then up at Zane.]
I think these two have bonded...yes, I'll take care of Duchess. And the other--Johnny. [She offers the dog her hand, and gets a favorable lick, making her smile.]
