Her meditative state would be short lived, for suddenly out of the depths of the waters came lurking a creature that was a far cry from any Nessie or swamp monster. A little puppy who was grey and white lunged out of the water, just barely missing Alae. It was the splash of water before her voice that she heard, and even while the pup was heading straight for Alae, she did not move a single muscle. Her solitude was instantly broken, eyes instantly opening and transfixing upon the little body that almost jumped right into her, but was able to somehow divert her pounce a little off to the side (quite a flexible puppy if anything!) Her eyes were a stunning navy blue, and like any puppy's curiosity, wanted to know the name of the Sidhe and who she was.
Remaining in place, Alae didn't move but a kind smile appeared upon her muzzle. While Alae wasn't overly maternal to puppies, there was a deep respect and kindness directed to them. Kael from above his perch in the tree fluttered his wings, perhaps in a gesture of surprise, but then calmed himself and gawked at the little figure below that jumped from the Spring. This would be the first pup encountered in Dahlia de Mai, and Alae was eager to meet the youth of Dahlia if there was any. "My name is Alae. What's yours?" Alae returned in response, her voice in a friendly melody. A few seconds passed, before Alae decided to engage in light conversation with the pup. "How is swimming in the Spring? Is it cold?" The Sidhe questioned. It felt lovely upon her submerged feet, but figured it might be a lot colder to submerge an entire body within it.
