The young pup didn't answer, simply turned and nuzzled him. He was reminded that she couldn't yet understand the words he spoke. But, she seemed happy to follow him, and he was okay to let her, knowing he would protect her at all costs. They approached the stranger, who seemed friendly enough, thankfully.

He glanced down at Hazel, who seemed to be taking this all in stride. He was fairly certain this meeting was going well, and so he gaze a smile to Hazel, hoping she wasn't too scared.
