Bambi scooped her arms up under the black feline; now sitting Indian style and cradling her closely. She did what little she could to calm her. She smoothed down the cat's soft fur, giving a gentle lick to her cheek. The dog hadn't really expected any one to pick up her howl.. She had explored much of this place and found it empty. But then again, she hadn't been looking very closely. He could have easily slipped under her radar.
The male's scent gave him away quickly- All Bambi had to hope was that his intentions weren't sinister. Mixed in with his smell was another critter's.. "Hawk," Her first reaction was to lean over the cat protectively, "Over my dead body." She didn't know how well a bird's sense of smell could be.. Or if it could smell at all. Either way, there was blood, and hawks were predators. She wasn't keen on taking any chances. Especially when Nana was practically defenseless. The canine craned her neck to get a look at the male- Seeing the bird perched on his shoulder, her posture softened a bit. "Hopefully.. If he's really here to help, he won't allow it to attack."
Bambi wasn't as surprised as the bird started speaking as she would have been a few days ago. It was a creature of few words- Like herself- Which she didn't really mind. If the Lafron girl hadn't been so caught up in her own worries, she most likely would have blurted out something about the gold ring attached to the wolf's ear. A look of surprise crossed her face as he offered to help.
"Cellar. Down stairs. Alcohol?" She said, pointing a finger towards the direction of the old door down the hall from their current room. "I'll get blankets." She was extremely careful about putting Nana down- But soon after she was safely resting back on the floor, she took off upstairs- Both hands now empty. Again, as she had previously done, she skillfully walked across the squeaky floor, pulling two old blankets off the bed before darting back downstairs.
