The male's amber eyes fell upon the little creature scrambling before his paws, his tiny pink tongue flicked out of his mouth reaching nothing but thin air. The sight of the boy greeting him so warmly made Galileo's heart crumble. He couldn't believe these babies would soon be taken away. Unable to voice their opinion they had to tag along with their father and mother, and though he was sure that wherever they ended up they'd grow into fine individuals he was sad he wouldn't see them grow.
Suddenly another little face poked out of the den, though it held more doubt than excitement. Galileo lowered his neck and blinked slowly at the baby girl that peeked out of the little burrow. The little boy spoke to her before he could,babbling to her what could only be an introduction --that was then directed at him too."Hello Mae," he cooed, while smiling at her, "You're very pretty" he said in while giving a last glance at her. She wore Tuwawi's same fiery dress.
These kids didn't know anything different from love. They had the fortune of having a wonderful set of loving parents and a whole pack to cherish them. Galileo hadn't been so fortunate, and though he remembered his childhood with a smile, he wished to tell these children to cling to their youth. Sadly he did not think they'd understand the urgency of his words yet.
They only wanted to play. When the boy suggested a game, Galileo lowered himself to the ground being happy to oblige in the boy's desires. He laid on the ground with his paws outstretched and a bright smile on his aged face. "I sure do!" he barked sweetly before thumping one of his paws against the dirt as if to encourage the boy to do the honors of starting.
