Lloyd fell silent and fidgeted a bit, sighing softly.

He let out a soft breath.

(Sure?)
Lloyd brought Lio into Ellis's room, grinning a bit. "Heeeey."

It had been a few days, and Ellis was alright to move around, so long as he didn't strain himself. So he sat up to greet Lloyd, shooting him a smile. "Hey!" he greeted, making a kissy face at the puppy.

Lloyd held Lio out to Ellis, smiling softly. "Ready to start training him now that you're allowed to do things?"

Ellis took Lio with a smile. "Yeah, sure!" he replied, standing up slowly. He had to wear a brace on his back to help keep pressure off the wound.

"Just make sure you don't strain yourself, El." Lloyd pulled a small container of treats out of his pocket.

"I'm fine." he replied, wondering where the nickname had come from, but not minding it.

"I know, but still. Be careful." Lloyd pulled out a couple treats. "Can you set him down?"

He nodded, setting Lio on the floor and then straightening. His movements were slow, cautious.

Lloyd knelt down on the floor beside Lio. "Alright, we'll start with simple stuff. Lio, sit." He gently pushed down Leo's hips until he was sitting and gave him a treat.

Ellis smiled, looking down at the prince and the puppy.

"Good boyyyy." Lloyd purred, petting Lio gently. "Alright, stand." He lifted Lio and gave him another treat.

Ellis looked to Lloyd. "What should I do?"

"You can try, if you want to that is." Lloyd passed the treats over to Ellis.

Ellis nodded, taking the treats and looking at Lio.

Lio waddled over to Ellis, wagging his tail excitedly.

Ellis smiled. "Sit." he tried, reaching down to press on Lio's hips.

Lio obeyed and pushed his nose forward, whining for his treat. "Seems to be very food motivated." Lloyd laughed.

He laughed, and gave Lio the treat, smiling softly.

Lio stood back up once he'd been fed and sniffed Ellis's hands, searching for more.

Ellis chuckled softly, petting Lio a little bit.

"Lio, sit." Lloyd repeated the process a few times until Lio seemed to grasp the concept.

Ellis passed the treats back to Lloyd so he could give them to Lio.

After a while, Lio seemed to have mastered the command, so Lloyd picked him up and held him close. "I think that's enough for today."

Ellis smiled, sitting down. "Good." He replied, reaching out to pet Lio.
