Stone Circle Digging up the past

Greyback was glad that Arlette took the lie, he had no idea what he would of done if she didn't believe him. He offered her a small smile at her raw, untamed voice. He was glad she was so carefree and easy to please.

He watched silently and let her wiggle away easily after letting his tongue drag over her fur, though his brows knit in worry as she toppled backwards and fell onto her rump, but noticed she was okay and soothed his face. He couldn't help but let out a chuckle when she shook her fur and fluffed out slightly.

"Mama is this color!!, Mama dirty?"

Greyback tilted his head at the protesting voice and continued to chuckle at the child's antics. He let out a fake gasp and desperately looked around. "Oh my, it seems as if I lost little Arlette! Wherever has she gone?" He lifted up his paw to check under it before looking back at the dirty pup. "Oh, there she is, it seems my eyes are getting old! I thought you were but a pile of dirt," He spread his paws as she moved closer, happy that she decided a bath wasn't too bad.
