Stone Circle Another day another destiny

Steady hadn't realized he was being followed, until he heard the rustling, and the female pup's frightened reaction. His head turned to see who was there, but he kept one ear trained on the girl. 

When he realized who it was, his tail thumped the ground. That's my nephew, Sunny, he answered, motioning the boy over. Steady estimated they were about the same age, and hoped that would help the girl relax, knowing there were others here like her. He turned his gaze back to her. He has a sister, Dawn, and I have two, named Keoni and Nikai, he explained, his voice light, hoping her initial fear would continue to dissipate.
