There's a soft smile out of Mingye when the dog accepts the pets. Honestly? This wasn't something that he'd ever had before. It wasn't something he was afforded where he was from. There were no pets. No lovers. Nothing that kept him... well, happy. The only happiness he'd ever gotten was out of chasing Feng Wu and making sure that the crown prince didn't get her. In the end, he did, but he respected them both and had ended up happy for them.

"I never thought there'd be a chance at anything for me after what happened back home at the Sky-Reaching Terrance. I'd always thought that it was a life of loneliness for me. So, I am happy that I found you and A-Yang."

Nothing would ever replace what the three of them had. For him? He was devoted to these two men and no one else. "We do. We thrive quite well here."
