He had expected Valette's form to appear at the entrance, but it was a smaller, excited form that reach him. For a moment, he simply stood there, his heart racing as his mind was catching up to the fact that Keoni didn't seem to fear as she did in Mirabelle's den. He lowered his head to nose her body affectionately, but refrained from licking her. In this cold, he didn't want to get her wet. 

He smiled to Valette, his eyes clearly indicating how happy he was to have the trust back of his youngest daughter, and nodded to her suggestion before looking back at Keoni. I'm pretty cold. Want to help keep me warm?  he asked her. The truth was, he desperately needed to feel his family around him, and to be snuggled against Keoni would allow him a restful night's sleep. He moved to go into the den, but waited to make sure Keoni was coming.
