The Sentinels A Shadow in the Moonlight.

Maybe wrap up here and get one with Minah? last from me :)

Luckily, he didn't seem to press for more. Instead, he just took the detail and stored it away, moving on as if there was truly nothing wrong with her statement. She wouldn't look to him, not out of fear, but to avoid any misplaced sympathy. The man spoke of a girl, someone her age that he traveled with. Unknowingly to him, Kali had already seen her in the days of travel she spent trailing after the duo. They seemed close, like a family.

Even with the girl's extreme paleness, she had no doubt originally that the two were related. There was enough resemblance in coloring for it to be possible, even if they did not fully look alike, but Akai's words said otherwise. She had been abandoned by her mother, something she couldn't help but scoff at. Not for the other girl's misfortune, but her own.

The man's offer was kind, she knew that. It was better than what she currently had, though the idea of being let down again left a bitter taste in her mouth. Perhaps if she did not get her hopes up, expect that they too would grow to resent her then it would be bearable, and for the time being, help feed her through winter. Kali huffed, settling to rest her head atop her own paws allowing her eyes to finally close, It's Kali. Her name. The one thing he hadn't asked for, nor had he offered his own. 

Usually, such a detail wouldn't matter, but if she was going to hang around a bit longer, at least a name would do. Otherwise, he'd be stuck with "Old man". Speaking of... Not hare or child. It's Kali. If he was too stupid to put two and two together then the extra context would help his aging mind.
