To see the smile that bloomed across the young girl's face did the Commander's heart good. It was so wonderful to see Bermuda to transform from someone nervous and uncertain to someone so filled with happiness and relief. It still was hard to comprehend how she ended up here and the callousness with which her parents had acted, but it wasn't something that should or would be dwelt upon. From now on, Savina would just have to make sure that the girl was content and happy here, in the place that would now be her home and her new family. "You are more than welcome Bermuda, I am glad that I can help you in this way." The woman wasn't necessarily a "people pleaser" but she did enjoy being to help others who needed and deserved it. She chuckled a bit at the amber eyed pup's enthusiasm to grow up. "Don't worry too much over growing up. I know time seems to drag for young minds, but it flies by for us adults. Enjoy being carefree while you can," she softly advised. Many grown ups wished that they could return to the ease of their younger days.
Bermuda's excitement seemed to wane a bit and her eyes traveled over to the lake that was near them. Almost out of instinct Savina also looked upon the tranquil waters, but whereas the pup was confused by it she only felt a sense of calm and belonging. Rabbit Lake had become of staple and landmark of her life since arriving in Nova Scotia and she treasured it greatly. The girl's question was surprising, and she couldn't help as her head cocked to the side in curiosity. "The lake? Have you only ever seen rivers or ocean?" It seemed odd, that she would have never run across a lake before. Then again, she was not familiar with the topography of this continent outside of the pennisula, and maybe lakes were not common where Bermuda had been.
