Layla was glad to be sharing these moments with the pup at the beach. He was so full of life and just held every trait that a pup should carry. What amazed her the most was that he actually seemed to prefer seafood and fish instead of meat. Why wouldn’t a pup want to enjoy the tender flavors that cooked meat had to offer? She didn’t know but as long as he was happy and liked what he was eating, she didn’t care. The mistress turned her attention back to her lit flame as she continued to prepare the food for the twosome.
Layla’s ears moved as the pup spoke and denied her request of trying out some of the spices. The mistress had never really tried much seafood and didn’t really know how it would taste with the spices on it, so in a way it was a good thing that she didn’t have to put them on his food. Once the meat was all prepared, she laid it out on the pan and held it close to the fire. She didn’t want to hold it directly over the flame so she wouldn’t risk burning her hand while she was cooking. Even so often the black and white she wolf moved the meat away from the flame to check the meat and then place it back near the flame. The she wolf’s tail flicked back and forth with excitement as she continued to cook. Her orbs moved back to the pup as she could see the excitement in his eyes. He was ready to eat and try some of the food he picked out. Her attention then went over to the bird as he seemed to be hungry too. The she wolf pulled the pan away once more and faced Gideon. ”Make sure you share your food with your new friend. I’m sure he’s hungry too and maybe he would like to try some cooked fish as well.” The mistress then placed the pan back over the flame for a little longer.
Once the meat was done, Layla removed the meat from the flame and it aside on the rock. Since it was a little wet on the surface, the pan began to cool down the meat. They would have to wait a while before it was completely cool and ready to eat. Wanting to try a bit of Gideon’s food, she set some to the side for herself and then give the rest to the pup. The mistress even gave him a bit of her meat, just to try and see if he liked the spices that were used on it. Once they were separated, she set the pan up on the rock and began to gnaw on some of the meat. It was a bit tough but full of delicious flavors. The black and white she wolf moved her eyes up occasionally to check on the black pup and make sure his food was cooked well. So far it seemed he liked it. She went back to her own meal and tried some of the food that Gideon asked her to cook. She had to admit that it wasn’t too bad. Perhaps this was something new she could try at home. Her home was not too far from the river where she first met Gideon and was positive there were fish around that she could catch. A soft sigh passed her lips as she continued with her meal.
Once she was completely finished, she licked her hands clean and turned her attention to the pup. She was sure that he was going to be done before she was. The mistress could feel the twilight breeze picking up as it was getting later in the day. Her eyes moved to the sky as the clear blue sky began to shift into the pinks and oranges of sunset. The sky was beautiful and night would soon be upon the land. Gideon was still a pup and was sure that he would need his rest once he returned home. Speaking of which, perhaps it was time for the two of them to head home. The black and white she wolf began to collect her things and went to the water to wash off her pan. She knew she wasn’t going to be able to get it completely clean, but it was clean enough to be put in her bag and not get anything else dirty. Thankfully she didn’t really have anything else in her bag so nothing would get wet as well. She rose to her feet and turned her gaze down to the pup. ”It’s getting late Gideon. Let’s both head home. I’ll help you take ‘Fred’ home.” The mistress moved her hands down to the bird and untied him, but held him gently in her arms. She wanted the bird to remain calm until they got to the pup’s home. She assumed that the pup lived with his Aunt, Bris. She sure hoped she wouldn’t mind having a bird around the house.
Layla’s gentle hands moved along the bird’s back to straighten out his feathers as they walked. She took one last look at the bird’s wings and smiled. She was sure with time, the bones would heal and the bird would be able to fly again. As they continued along, the mistress’s gaze remained on the pup. He was such a delight to have around and enjoyed every moment she spent with him on the beach. The black and white she wolf couldn’t wait to spend some more time with him before he became an adult. Perhaps once he hit that stage, she would be able to become his teacher. He seemed the kind of pup who wanted to learn and maybe he would turn to her for some help. She then paused as they reached Wolfville and scratched the back of her head innocently. ”Umm… Gideon dear, I don’t know where you home is. Could you lead the way?” She smiled as she wandered along side the pup. Today was a fantastic day and was sure the next time was going to be even better.
