Adia laughs softly at the gesture, petting Aal between and around her ears. She's gentle, as she is with all creatures. "You're very friendly, aren't you? Sure, I'll sit with you for a while."

Making herself comfortable, she sits down next to the box and continues petting her. She still has no clue that this is her friend, but she's pretty sure that this is no ordinary canine. "I'm sorry you're feeling sad. Did you want to -- er...."

Well, she was going to say 'talk about it', but she's not sure if that's possible. Oh, but the dog must have written on the dry erase board, yes? She wipes her answer clean to make room, then offers the pen to Aal, to see if she'd like to answer.
