I don't wanna be alone

The boy remained quiet, but he did not balk, which Mith supposed was good. He was young, near the age of his other children. In a strange way Mithras was excited to see another pup of odd coloration, but what had happened to his parents in the first place? It would probably be rude to ask. "How are you doing?" He settled for something less heavy, even if he fully expected Itri to brush him off, he had to start somewhere! "Are you settling in well? I hope the other children haven't been giving you too much hassle." He knew his daughters could be a lot to handle, but he hoped they would have manners enough not to harass someone down on their luck. He still wasn't sure if Itri planned to stay in Argead, after all, but he didn't want the girls to drive him out before he had a real opinion of the place.
