Service Hound
Helios has always been as much of a "Service" Hound to Handler as a "In-the-field" Hound, to help with Her anxiety. But since She left the empire and went mercenary, this one has been helping Her with Her emotional needs more. The time between contracts can be months long (not to mention travel time between planets), so we have plenty of "downtime". It stays by Her side. Sits under Her desk while She works. Sleeps in Her bed; She always struggled to sleep alone.
Hound wraps around Her and places its ear on Her heart, making sure Her pulse is calm and steady.
Sometimes, She says strange things to Helios. She calls it a "kitty" or "soft"...It doesn't agree, but will be anything for Her.
Sometimes She says She "loves me"...of course she loves me, handlers love their hounds. And I love h- It loves Handler.
