Fortune's bicolored eyes glimmered slightly-- more! He wanted to know more, and that was exactly what she was going to do. She would teach him anything he wanted to know, at least that which was in her purview. The brave had learned a fair amount of things in her years. This would be fun, and she was more than happy to work with him. "Of course! What would you like to know?" Her head quirked to the side softly, ready to give him whatever information he requested. The mute swans and the tundra swans, though terrible in temper (even worse than the trumpeter she'd brought for breakfast), were around. She could show the boy the differences if they went down to the lake. They could explore the wonder world of water foul. His words... hurt. Jeeze, they cut her in a way she forgot was possible. Someone had disappeared from their family, from their pack. The mother to the den full of pups, the ones that Fortune had been working so hard to feed. Still, she can't let what the pup says phase her. She can't let him know that she aches for them. It would be wrong, of course. It would be wrong for them to know, at least now. Fortune doesn't have the details either. She pretends that all is well. "I'll teach you all I can, how's that?" The girls' grin is wide, reaching down to nose the pup behind the ears. It's playful, it's gentle. She can work with children. Children are the easy part, after all. They are not hers, but they are family, and they will be treated as such. Family is everything. That's all they need to know-- family above all. Everything will be okay. fortune shock & awe |
