Th-thank you! the disheveled child breathed, beaming. The compliment was overwhelming, for it was the first she had been given by a stranger.
She trembled with impatience as she waited for the door to be opened. When it swung back on its hinges, the puppy was so shocked by the sight beyond it that she flinched and crawled in a daze after her smoky escort. Blaise had yet to see anything so strange and so beautiful. The ceiling was unbelievably high and the decor intricate. There was furniture, a fireplace, and even a tall staircase, but the house spanned far beyond what she could see now.
The glorious Manor did not interest her half as much as did eating and finding her mother. Obediently, she followed right behind Artemis into the room with the fireplace, and though her eyes darted all around, she saw no sign of her mother. She thought her mother might be waiting inside with a hug and a kiss. The girl felt the sting of disappointment, but she was not yet doubtful.
As Artemis sparked a fire and made up a plush bed, the small wolf followed her around, watching everything she did with intense interest. As soon as the soft things were on the floor, Blaise could not resist stretching out upon them. Her eyelids were very heavy, but in all the excitement, she could not even drop her face between her paws.
Her gaze trailed the silver female, hoping she would return with her mother when she had found some food. But the elegant gray woman who came to the room was not her mother at all. Who you? Blaise asked the matron timidly, her ears falling against her skull as she lowered her head. You get Mommy?
