Here then gone

The pup looked up to her, seemingly hopeful for a moment before realizing she wasn't who he had hoped. Pups had come to their borders and wondered onto their lands before, but never had there been one so young. It wasn't normal for one so small to be out on his own. Her own pups had only just started to emerge from the room in the manor at his age. The boy said that he couldn't find his parents and the tears began to pour freely from his eyes. The maternal instincts tugged at her heart and Savina couldn't help herself from going to him and bathing to the top of his head in comforting licks. It was what he needed.

When he mentioned a coyote and his parents being gone a rock fell into the pit of her stomach. That wasn't a good sign. Not good at all. He looked up to her, clearly hoping she could tell him what had happened. What could she say? Chances were that they hadn't made it, but if he hadn't found their bodies, perhaps there was still hope that they were alive, merely injured and recovering somewhere. "Maybe they're just getting better somewhere, and will come and look for you soon," she said, trying her best to strike a balance between being realistic but not getting his hopes too high. "You could stay here, until they find you. This is my pack and we can take care of you while you're away from your parents." Savina hoped that he would stay. She couldn't stand the thought of him leaving and being out there on his own.

"My name is Savina. What's yours?" she asked, a soft smile coming to her face.
