He half-listened to the kids speak to--oh, shit, the other kid had come, too, damn it. The sweet girl he hadn't met yet. Death, they were talking about death, and a growl bubbled in his throat. "Knock it off; she doesn't need to hear any of that," Shale snapped, bristling. "Take her back to Catori--" But Dawn was already suggesting it, and he relaxed slightly, settling back on his haunches.
Then Dawn had come and was muttering to him, and he quite literally heard none of her words, a smile blooming over his muzzle as he looked at her. "You are so like your father," he remarked, wonder in his eyes. "Gods, it's unbelievable. Oh, man, the trouble we got into as kids--" He broke off with a barking laugh. "We were so mischevious. Spot hated us. Say, you ever meet Spot?"
He closed his eyes, a wave of contentment washing over him as he thought of his sister. "Your aunt--I would kill to have her here, with all of us," Shale murmured. "I dunno if even Day knows where she went. Maybe I'll go looking for her." He beamed at Dawn, opening his eyes again. "You're a scout, right? Wanna come with? It'll be like old times."
