Vieira was thankful her touch had not been rejected by her owner; it meant she had done something right and it was one of the first steps in figuring the woman out to know what made her happy and what made her unhappy. It was not often she did things without being told to but in the same sense, if she knew what to do in order to make the other happy, it was an indirect way of an order that would never have to be spoken. Keeping Kaena clean was just the first step. She was wet and soaking the cave floor with the freezing rain and it was not Vieira to be lazy; Kaena did not have to ask to be cleaned or to clean herself on her own.
Her ears fell back against her head when she felt Kaena's eyes on her, having noticed from the corner of her vision the woman's head turned. Her cold nose stroked the elder canine's side to examine the wetness and she realized how little she did. A towel or blanket would have been easier, something she had access to in Eterne, but the woman was limited and she could not stop her job. When water was not dripping from the other on this side is when she pulled back and moved to the other side of her leader, returning to her job and out of Kaena's site until she turned her head back to face her.
"Would you like me to do anything else for you, miss Kaena?" she asked with a broken voice, fighting the worry inside her. The woman had been angry moments ago and it would not be a surprise should she turn back to that. Vieira wanted to do what she could to avoid the wrath of anyone and if Kaena wanted something done, she would do it. After a hesitating moment in wait for an answer, Vieira's pink tongue returned to the woman's side she had yet to start on and drag the water from her dirty fur. [html]
