After the initial squealing and struggles and a chase or two, Gran was finally able to place the scent of the Miqo'toddler that was so stalwartly harassing him. He even broke off a chase to give the little tyke a thorough snuffling to be absolutely certain, which was sure to elicit some giggles from the boy as the little porker's snout chuffed at his legs and stomach. Identity confirmed, the baby behemoth lowered his hackles with an exasperated little huff. This was his boy, of course he'd want to be around the amazing Gran.
Things were a bit more tense at the doorway, though. Chachan had quickly realized his err when he noted Lili's expression regarding her daughter's health and well-being, shrinking into himself a little as she spoke. While he was honestly glad that the tonic had been helping, the noticeable feeling of helplessness suffused in the lady Hyur's tone regarding Sara's condition washed over him like a tide and dampened the mood considerably. His apologetic frown only grew as Lili described the troubles encountered when her daughter wasn't doing as well, and the forced attempt to lighten the mood shortly afterward did little to crack the look of concern... at least at first.
"W-well," he managed after a moment, forcing a small smile of his own in his own attempt to turn matters to things more positive. "'m glad th' new tonic's helpin', 'n extra glad ev'ryone is doin' well t'day. I wouldn't wanna impose if'n there's pro'lems goin' on, y'know?"
His smile brightened a bit more as he continued, and he scratched at his floof as he peered inside the estate. "So, ev'ryone, huh? I know there's lil' Mikh'a 'n Ado 'n Ms. Sara... ya jus' mentioned 'nother son too... who else is there? 'r izzat all'a 'em?"
