sorry for slow! 300 words 
An unfamiliar dark form entered her home, and instinctively Tokyo rose to her feet in case it was a threat. A quick examination of the scent, though, relaxed her. It was a Dahlian she-puppy, one that had been present at the meeting yesterday but she had never seen before then. A stray, then, instead of one born into the pack? Of course it was possible that the girl belonged to one of the new members, or was even a child of one of the other females, but Tokyo thought she would have known had any Dahlian been pregnant. Gossip traveled. Had it been an adult, she would have been more worried about it's presence, but.. puppies didn't have the same sense of propriety that was drilled in as one reached maturity. Tokyo's initial instinct around puppies, which was to be annoyed with them and shoo them away as fast as possible, was brushed aside in the face of curiosity at the dark girl's simple silence. Her biggest problem with children in general was usually the incessant chatter, the demand for attention, for play. This cub.. was simply sitting there, looking at her. It probably should have unsettled her some, but really it just sparked her interest. "Who are your parents?" She said with a kindness of tone that surprised even herself. Talking like that, towards a puppy? Maybe she was just faking it, she was probably just faking it, yes that made much more sense.. "What's your name?" Tokyo persisted, throwing words out into the empty silence. King whined insistently, and the Dahlian lady glanced down then proceeded to lie herself back down on the floor of her den. He snuggled up against her, completely content now that his source of heat was back within reach where it should always be. |
