It's a big world out there

The little black and white pup seemed to brighten up significantly when he saw his rescuer appear. Solveiga gave him a warm smile and giggled a bit as he yipped happily at her. When she leaned down so he could hop up onto her back, the boy grinned and did so right away, scrambling up and getting his balance. Once he was all set, the sand colored woman smiled and carefully rose to her feet, not wanting to move too quickly and jostle her little passenger. Honestly, he was a little heavier than she thought he would be, but his weight was nothing she couldn't handle. She may have been small, but she was not quite as weak as she appeared. She had strong legs, at the very least, from all the traveling she had done in her short lifetime.
"So," she said, glancing over her shoulder at the boy as she started to walk through the grasses toward a safer, less confusing place for the child. "How'd you manage to get yourself lost out here?" Solveiga raised a knowing brow, of course it was clear the pup had escaped his den to go and explore, and had gotten in over his little head. Quite literally. But she played along and feigned innocent curiosity, asking the boy outright to see what sort of response he would give. Would he come clean and say that he had wandered too far? Or would he formulate a tall tale to keep the blame far away from himself? Truth be told, Solveiga thought the latter would be much more entertaining.
