[Oooh, Iris is enjoying those ear scritches and she'll stop wriggling to settle more into Beatrix's arms so she can get more, her tail thumping lightly against the woman. And seeing their sister treated with care, the other Flower siblings will ease off and start running around them instead before heading off to play nearby. Adults are talking boring stuff.]

They are very intelligent, more so than average dogs. I assume it might be due to their more magical nature.

[He does notice how she seems to be enjoying holding Iris, though, a light grin forming.]

You're more than welcome to visit them any time.
