The little pup immediately reacted to his presence, but he couldn't help but notice that it wasn't quite right, her eyes focusing not on him but simply near him, and Kassander nearly gasped aloud in realization and anger. Was that why a pup this young was so alone? Had she been abandoned because of her affliction? She was clearly blind, at least as blind as young Alfrun if not more completely. A protective sort of rage bubbled in his chest. How could anyone do this to another wolf, let alone a helpless young pup?

"Would you like me to find you something better to eat?" he asked her, keeping his voice to that same gentle, soothing rhythm that he'd learned worked best as a healer despite the anger that continued to prickle at him.

And if anyone tried to chase her off while Kassander was hunting, Rommel would certainly be up to protecting her. "Would you like that, sweetheart?"
