While he waits on Daine to navigate her way through the fluffy sea, Edgar bends down to pet Almondine.

/Stay here,/ he signs to her. /We'll be right back, and you can keep an eye on all of them./

He points toward the room, and Almondine glances that way before looking back to him. She gives his hand a quick lick and wags her tail gently before lying back down beside the doorway. The three rabbits around her rearrange themselves at her movement, burrowing against her and staring up at Edgar with wide, solemn eyes.
