There was something so young about Magnolia and her sisters that made Saul's heart ache for a moment. It made him realise that he never really had a childhood- his grandmother had made sure that they had no mother and their own father was never cut out for parenthood. He apparently wasnt made of the stuff usual dads were made of and he didnt get along well with young pups. Saul and his siblings, until now, hadnt been in the same place at the same time since they were probably born. Though Shiloh hadn't returned yet Saul always held out hope that, if his father did anything for them, he would return their pristine sister and leave again. Saul didnt hate his father but there was a certain dislike for the man that didnt appear to have a backbone in bringing his children up. So Saul was a touch jealous of the young girls for their youth when he had been robbed of his.
The disappointed look on the silver females face was heartbreaking, but Saul had known all along that there would be no frogs here today. And by the time they came about in the spring Maggie would probably find them uninteresting. An apologetic smile curved his lips along with the strong urge to tell the little girl 'I told you so'. However, Saul recognised that this perhaps wasnt the best response to the girl and so crept forward to have a look for himself- just in case. He lifted rocks with his nose and nuzzled into the reeds around the spring before looking back into her mint green eyes.
"I'm sorry Maggie. Maybe they're sleeping because of the cold?"
He offered with a small lick to the little girls head. She wasnt family, techinically, but Saul felt a certain connection to almost everyone in Dahlia and considered them extended family of some sort. The small like to the girls darker head was a casual lick, nothing meaningful- something meant to comfort. She spoke again and Saul bit back the remark that everything was hibernating. He was pretty certain that the fish, though sluggish, were still active. Green eyes made a quick sweep over the riverbed and was pleased to see a flash of silver as a fat fish moved this way and that. However before he could tell Maggie about the fish before she made a break away from the water. It was obvious what she intended to do.
"Maggie, you'll scare the fish away!"
There was a soft hint of panic in his voice. It was coming into winter and though Saul had gained control of all three forms he didnt know if he would calm down enough to help the little girl out of the freezing water. She didnt have her adult coat and therefore her soft down fuzz was permeable to water. She would surely be freezing. Maybe he could distract her with the fish and she wouldnt hurl herself into freezing water today.
