It seemed she has spotted the groundhog now and Saul gave a little chuckle to himself. He'd missed this part of his childhood- the incessant curiosity in the world around him. At four months, Saul had just left Dahlia with his father and siblings, leaving Gideon behind. He'd gotten lost not long after that and his playful attitude hadn't surfaced until his return to Dahlia- he'd been much more focussed on survival. However, Star seemed to have kept hold of her playfulness and curiosity, which was a bonus. He smiled softly down at her as she decided to give Saul all of her attention. He knew it was distracting but she seemed to understand that she needed to focus on this meeting.
However, the soft smile faded as she explained about where she'd some from and where her family was. She had family- older brothers and sisters. But they didn't appear to want little Star. Pity seeped into his green eyes and his ears flickered back as he looked down at her. He wanted to comfort her, make sure she was okay with the hand fate had dealt her. He knew there was really nothing he could say- nothing could take away the feelings of abandonment by ones own family. She was an orphan and she would fit right in in Dahlia. Briefly he wondered if Conor would have any problem with the little female going to live in the large Victorian house that had unofficially become home to all orphans accepted into Dahlia. The little pup could have his old room when he left if she wanted to. He would ask her.
“Star, I'm so sorry about your family. Do you want a home in Dahlia?”
It was a blunt question but he did really feel sorry for her. He would put her up in the old Victorian house for tonight and then ask her if she would like to stay there in the morning. She might fancy sleeping outside, but Saul would give her the option to have a warm house to stay in. Green eyes watched the little girl to see if she wanted to join his pack.
