K and Mango are, indeed, there - and Mango has grown quite a bit over the last couple months, filling out somehow even more despite how solid she already was. The moment she spots Sable and Drake she drops into a play bow, tail wagging furiously, but she's too excited to hold it, wiggling and barking and jumping. K, aware she'll calm down once she can reach them, waits calmly even though he can't help but smile.
It's reflex - thoughtless and conditioned - that when Drake gets in closer, he offers, "Would you like help with that?" And, "It's good to see you. We're ready."
How could anyone not smile at an excited puppy? Drake certainly is as they approach, Sable well trained enough that she isn't straining at her leash but her tail is also wagging furiously at the sight of her friend. They can have a moment to greet each other out in the open before the ride to the down, he figures.
"I'm alright with it, but thank you," he tells K. "Besides, it looks like you've got your hands full. Somebody's growing up fast, huh?"
"I don't know," K admits, but fondly. "I've never seen a dog grow." He knew her mother, though, and she's already nearly the same size. She sidles up to Sable, wiggling and licking her chin and neck and whining now instead of barking.
"I'm no expert," Drake prefaces himself, also smiling at their dogs' warm greeting, "but I've always been told it's a year of growing for size and then they just fill out for awhile. Remember when you first met Sable, how she was all floppy and lanky? That was her teenage stage."
"Spoken like a true pet parent," he teases K, nodding for them to start moving towards the elevator now that the dogs have gotten their initial bursts of excitement out.
Pets are probably the only kids it's okay to feel that way about, Drake thinks to himself... and even then there are ways it could be dangerous but he's confident in K now that he's gotten her back.
"I'm glad you have her. Been teaching her anything special?"

Regardless, he's going to do his best to take care of Mango, and he calls for her after a few moments of letting her lick at Sable's face.
"She's perfect," is his verdict on the whole thing, regardless.
