She couldn't say she didn't recognize that kind of attitude, hadn't seen it plenty of times over the last year and more. Zero was a lot calmer about it, a lot nicer even, no stomping away or slamming doors, but really... Hadn't she lived with someone who acted like that when he was injured, refusing any sort of concern?

Leanne couldn't be completely sure it'd be the same with Zero, but surely, surely he'd appreciate it more if she treated him normally, wouldn't he? Almost embarrassed at how she'd initially reacted, she attempted a small smile.

All right, understanding. She could do that.

"Sorry," she repeated. "But I'm glad to hear you're okay. No dog's gonna get you next time, huh?"
