She says nothing, because for once she needs not fret over which words they will share. It’s with her body and a low whine she’ll express joy as she encircles him in a dance, stealing little licks and nudges of nose to his curls before falling into play bow and letting her tail banner overhead, lips parted and tongue lolling in a bid for him to join her in play. Stay!

She looks at him; the very lonely boy. Did he know how much she needs him? For she was a very lonely girl.

In the moment she’d begin to feel some deeply important drive, transcending blood and family lines: that she would fight to keep Skáld.

Regardless of space and time.
