Serene Validis
The enthusiasm the young pup showed was adorable, causing a warmth to spread across the woman's chest as she watched him bound off in search of the creek. Perhaps it was wrong of Serene to grant him the journey he so desired, but who else was to know? She planned on returning the pup soon after anyway, so no harm would be done, right? Shaking her blonde locks, she quickly padded off after the pup, calling out to him; "Meph! You're going the wrong way!" She could hardly suppress the laughter in her voice, his excitement to go exploring lead him blindly into the brush, like any pup would. But unaccompanied such actions could lead to danger, which had Serene's amber orbs lock solely on the rustic hued scruff of the boy's neck. He would not be leaving her sight until he was returned home safely, that was for sure.
Once she would catch up to him, Serene would cock her head to the side, begging him to follow her on the right path towards the creek. "Come young Abraxas, the mystical creek and all it's wonders awaits your arrival." She would then attempt to lead Meph towards the creek, keeping her long strides short in hopes to let the pup keep up with her. It was when she realized what she was doing that Serene had to pauses and think. Bending to the will of this pup was so natural to her, as if he was her own, even to the point where entertaining him didn't feel like a chore, but more like a blessing. That familiar pang of longing hit her once more, the one where she craved the days she too would be blessed with a family. But she quickly shook her head of such thoughts. Her attention was not on the unforeseeable future, but rather on the present. And that meant all her attention was on Meph.
