Hearing Sohpie chant the "rhyme" over and over again was pretty funny. Her high pitched voice rang through the forest as she repeated the lines over and over again in an attempt to memorize the pattern's of the sun. It was good information and Hotaru hoped that her work would pay off. If she was lucky, she would be able to see the puppy in a few months, or even a few weeks. It would be nice to talk to Sophie again when she got older, and hopefully by that time Hotaru could give Sophie a real work of art. Not just the simple bracelet that Hotaru made.
It was a little disappointing to hear Sophie decline her offer. Hotaru wanted to extend their time together as long as possible. Not to mention that the chance to find out where Sophie lived was an appealing prospect to the blind wolf. But alas, Shophie had turned down her offer so Hotaru had to respect her discussion. Hotaru stood and listened as Sophie scampered off into the distance. She stood there for a few minutes, wishing that the puppy would return and take up her offer.
Eventually, she too turned around and walked home. The grey wolf was both happy and sad. Happy to have met such a wonderful wolf, and sad to have seen the meeting end. Her pace was slow, and the staff hung lazily in front of her while Fawkes enjoyed the ride on her shoulder. Together, bird and master returned to the Artist's den.
