Hannibal was a bit relieved that she showed a bit of spirit at his instructions. He did not watch her, but he did listen as she slipped beneath the covers. He turned to face her. "I am a very patient man My Lady. I did not need such a ruse for you to wind up in my bed." He said with a slightly smug look on his face.

He moved to lay down on top of the covers next to her. "If you are still cold the only thing more I can offer is to join you beneath the covers. If that is necessary, it would be best if I were bare as well. However, I can keep my small clothes on if that would make you more comfortable." He said. He gave a whistle for the pups to come up on the bed and curl up around them for added warmth. Even Moanna was atop the bed.
