Hold back the melancholy

Védís had not been raised to be so.. caring. Her motherly instincts had only appeared after she had left her family behind - and even now, she was not outright kind. Just concerned over the possibility of a child left alone.. for she knew how harsh this world could be. She had brothers who would not hesitate to harm such a child. The faint, concerned frown lingered on her lips as she drew closer to the boy, her eyes adjusting to the darkness as she searched for him.
Perhaps wisely, he was wary of her - but she was just as uncertain of him, though she lacked the sort of anxious nervousness that he likely felt. Though she had an air of caution about her, it did not resemble fear in the least. Survival came first, above everything, even above helping this boy.. and she had no qualms with leaving if she felt threatened in one way or another. Her ears twitched, face shifting into a more solemn expression as he spoke - saying that he was mourning.
"What is it you have lost?" she would ask, a bit firmly for a question, but she wanted to know - mourning was generally done when one had lost something. What could this child possibly have lost, so early in his life? Perhaps her curiosity was a bit morbid, but she couldn't help herself.
