He invited her in with a wave of his hand and she approached him without much concern for a place to sit; she seemed comfortable enough just standing. For a moment, she remained silent, watching him work on whatever it was he had decided to occupy his time with. Often, she had witness Citlali put together bracelets and baskets — she enjoyed the tedious tasks, for they helped her understand something that the boy enjoyed. Was it the same with this dark wolf?

Maye son, he ess not maye real son, but he comes with me ahs well. Aye would never leave Citlali behind." It was truth, for she had grown incredibly fond of her nephew since they had left Eterne. He was too old to be her son, but she loved him like she would any child, and knew that their legacy rested on his pure shoulders.
