"horray you had puppies lady we never have met!"-time?

Auréle did not thaw to the bird, and her voice was anything but happy when she claimed it did not speak. Well then, it was another stubborn bird - right up Gvihita's alley. Or, perhaps he had not found a good excuse to speak with her yet, sometimes the guides chose to punish the wolves with tools much like a parent's. Any kid with an overly silent parent knows it's been doing something wrong. Dawali secretly guessed that it was acknowledgement the bird sought, but he chose not to voice this. Instead, he kept his gaze on it as it flew closer, amused. "They all know how to speak with us, but some choose not to. Perhaps there is a message in that for you - they have their own ways, trust me." He smiled, but tried to keep it on a polite level. The temptation of letting his amusement leak into that smile was strong, but he reminded himself that Auréle had just become a mother. Since nothing was as moody as a fresh mother, he kept it simple. Jokes would likely not go down well right now.
His gaze moved over to the femme in front of him, but flew for a split second back at the bird as she spoke. Guide her to what? Nothing at all, perhaps, or maybe life itself. He wasn't entirely certain, but for hundreds of years his people had enjoyed their company and wisdom. It should perhaps be enough in itself - although he could understand why she was not immediately thrilled. He had to remember that the concept was new to them, after all. "They don't guide you to anything in particular, I guess. But they help and support you through life. They provide trustworthy company when you need it the most. Pausing, he looked at the ground, knowing very well how valuable Gvihita had been to him. They grant you an outside view when your thoughts are turned inwards - keeps you in check and in balance.
His stomach growled, and with an embarrassed and wry grin he glanced at it before refreshing his usual face. Right, hunger. He'd forgotten about that. His head turned to the left as he glanced towards the path snaking itself through the landscape. It was more than likely that it ended up either in the village, or near the stables - and both places had food. "Are you hungry, Auréle? If you want, we could head to the stables and fetch something to eat, maybe set up the fire here?" He was more than happy to share a meal with her, and she was no doubt in need of a good portion of meat anyway. He'd witnessed the births of both his daughters - he knew it was no simple feat.
