She agreed. Nicky's lips quirked up into a small smile and he dipped his head in a small nod of thanks before he gave Gioia one last pat and leaned back in his seat. Her eyes flicked from him to Andy, her body tense like she was holding herself back.
He'd seen her focused like this, but only on him. It was a little strange to see it aimed at someone else. Finally, he murmured a soft "Vai a salutare" and Gioia was up on her feet in one smooth motion.
For all her focus and excitement to meet this woman, however, she walked carefully over to her, nudging her hands with her dark muzzle for a moment. When Andy didn't shove her away, she pressed a little harder so that Andy's hands were in the thick fur of her ruff.
And if Andy didn't start calming down after that, she hopped her front legs up onto the edge of the chair, then shifted forward so that she could lay the entire upper half of her 75lb frame on Andy's lap and against her stomach.
