The pup weavered, shifting from side to side. Sia tilted his head at the boy, curious to see what he might do next. Finally his paws took to motion, and the youngling was headed closer. Lowering his head to the ground so to meet the boy at eye level, Sia sniffed the air as the child drew near. He smelled strongly of Shivali, obviously, and Sia could find the scents of his siblings along with Tahani firmly upon his pelt, again such things were obvious. This was a new experience for Sia as much as it was for Sos. The large male had only met his younger siblings as pups, but this... this was different. All the Ateneq siblings would need to teach and care for these young ones absent adivce from their parents. But as his mirror image drew closer, Siarut knew he would accept any challenge to see Sos's and his siblings grow strong. 

Giving the boy a smile he reserved only for family, Siarut waited for the young boy to draw as close as he dare. Not wanting to frighten him, Sia remain motionless save for the slight flick of his tail. He lowered his rump to the ground, distracted from the storm above.
