Io sighed. No, Iven hadn't been any use either. As much as the collie girl had loved him, in the end he had got himself killed and proved men were useless. In fact the only males that survived were Sara and Ibycus. They were now in charge for caring for Io herself and Kali. Kallisto was her sister, maybe not in blood but in spirit. Kali had been the one who helped Io care for Sara as a pup, Iven wasn't much use, he was a slave and his only use was work.
'Mother?' Sarajevo chimed, from his tone of voice, Io could tell a question was on it's way. Io turned her head around to give the boy her full attention and nodded. His white maw prised itself open but was interupted. Io's hair flew as her head turned to the door, 'Come in?' Her accented voice rang through the walls of the building, making Sarajevo's head flicked up anxiously. If Io knew that voice it was Iola. But as for her business here, she had no idea why the second alphess had visted her. Io stood up and self consiously pulled a white hand through her lenghty locks and gave a swift stare to her son, who knowingly slide off the greek style chaise lounge. Io knew Sara should not be allowed on the comfty furniture, but her boy worked hard and deserved a bit of love.
Catching sight of herself in the ajacent mirror Io frowned. She was terrible thin. Io ran a hand down her side and shook her head, before opening to door to Iola.
