Oh. This story is perfect. I keep trying to write fic on this broad theme - Aral taking care of his dog, if Cordelia will forgive me for putting it that way - but you've done it so perfectly that now I don't have to. So many things I loved in this - Cordelia and Aral's mutual bafflement with each other's attitudes, Aral carrying Simon and his care and gentleness, and Simon rousing just enough to understand and accept what's happening and the conversation at the end, and all of it. Beautiful. ♥
