The memory of Katmai came back to her. This was Dutch's child. "Ah, yes." she chuckled, "It's great to see you again. You've grown into a fine young man."

He was incredibly friendly, and had an uplifting energy about him. Not just youthful, but happy. He then greeted Angel, sweetly. 

When he asked for 'Rosa, she couldn't hide the amused expression on her face. "She's doing good. Still shy, but she has certainly opened up more. She loves to track scents and explore. Just give it some time. She'll come around." 

"How are you Katmai?" She wanted to ask about his family, his siblings, but she didn't know the circumstances. She didn't want to bring him any ill feelings.
