Stone Circle Wayward Surfer

She responded nicer than what Krypton expected, making the agouti nod her head towards the alpha's words. She'd keep a good eye on her and ask about her family when the girl was ready for that conversation. But until then, Krypton would watch this girl as if she was her own. The gamma, before standing up, looked to Adeline with a grateful smile.  "All help is welcome, thank you, Adeline. Perhaps, you could help catch her a fresh meal tomorrow? It might taste a bit better than frozen meat." The girl looked old enough to eat meat considering her eyes and ears were open, along with her brain functioning well enough for her to speak fairly clearly.

With everything settled, Krypton rose from her spot and looked down at the girl, lowering her muzzle to gently nudge her shoulder. "Follow me, we'll head to my den so you can rest."  Now she thought about it, Krypton was actually really tired. For reasons unknown, she felt exhausted, perhaps from the cold, perhaps from other reasons. No matter, sleeping with the small child would hopefully make her well-rested for tomorrow. She'd have a lot of work on her paws.
