Now that he was here with the baby in his arms he couldn’t help but be a bit unsure of himself. What if the smaller male wasn’t happy with him? What if he was angry with him for bringing in a new puppy? What if this baby in his arms took over his place beside his master? He was afraid of that, not wanting to be suddenly pushed to the side in preference for the new baby. Looking down at the gentle, innocent bundle in his arms, he had a sudden flashback to all the children and the innocents that he had killed and he clung to the child to the point that he whimpered a little. Realizing what he was doing, he looked down at the child and immediately loosened his hold and the child settled down again. Bringing the baby up to his face, he nosed at the child’s neck and looked back up the stairs before he called for his master. But those visions of the bloodied children he was made to maim and kill were there along with their pained sounds and for a moment he had to take a step back to collect himself, the haunts of his past coming back up in full force, making his ears go back against his head and he took a slow, deep breath before calling out for the only other creature in the lands that he cared this deeply for and then after he called, the silence fell across him and he held his breath.
Finally the voice that he wanted to hear came down to him and he blinked and looked up at the stairs before he gave a little sound in his throat and started climbing up the stairs with the baby in hand. Once he came to the top of the stairs and he saw his cherub, he gave a little puppy sound in the back of his throat, one that sounded like it could be from the little bundle in his arms. He was so happy to see the other that his tail couldn’t even contain his excitement. He quickly made his way towards the other before he reached out with his one free arm to wrap around his Cherub’s body to aim to swing him around in a circle before sitting him back down on the bed and he gave another little whimper. ”Master, master I missed you,” he said as he gave a little wag of his tail before a shifting in his arms made him look back down at the baby and he held out the puppy so that his master could see it. ”Look master can we keep him?” He asked as he tilted his head to the side, slightly breathless from the exhilaration of seeing the other again. ”I saw him with his dead mom so I thought that I would bring him back to you to see what you thought,” he said as he gave him a little tilt of his head, focusing on the other to see what he would say.
