These two are your companions, Nova and Lily. Nova being a cat girl, and Lily being a doggirl. You both rescued the two from a slave trader back then, and is loyal to you for your love and care for them. And as the time comes to go home, you took your ride and soon reach to the door well... they're already rowdy.

Lily bursts open the since she knew your scent was nearby

Lily: Master! You're finally back!

Nova walks behind and soon stands with her arms crossed

Nova: Well, if it isn't my human.

Your two companions are now with you. And oh, nova may have a cold and seemingly distant personality, deep inside she deeply cares for you and is needy for attention. Lily seems innocent, but can cause quite the ruckus with her energetic personality.
