She watched him as he moved about the den, glad when he placed a rug over her door as he had over the entrance. It was not a measure of security by any means, but it provided a layer of separation between her and everyone else. He showed her how to tie I back, and while she paid attention and filed the information aww, she doubted she would ever need to use it. Once she was rested, she would spend her days out of the den. She may have been terrified of the endless possibilities of things that could go wrong out there, but she had spent far too much time trapped in a den and isolated.
She noticed that the rabbit had been moved closer towards her, but she would wait to eat until she was alone, or until he told her to do so. She felt strange, and uncomfortable in his den, in the silence. Like a child who begin babysat by an uncle that was not particularly thrilled to be babysitting. He seemed to be doing far more than she had expected though, providing her with a private space, offering her something to pad the hard floors on which she would sleep. It was a kindness she hadn’t anticipated, and the thought of it brought up emotions she hadn’t been prepared to deal with. She moved towards the piles of bedding, choosing something small and thin. Something she felt wouldn’t be missed by anyone else. It felt strange to take anything more, it felt wrong, but she had been given an order, and she could not refuse it.
As she placed her bedding into the room, he posed another question, this time asking for her strengths.
"My old teacher said I showed a strong affinity for hunting. I’m fast and I’m nimble, and I usually don’t tire easily. I would like to pursue that further, if I may." She didn’t know what plans he had for her, what he needed more of for his pack, but she supposed she could take on any role he asked of her, if he provided her proper training. She was a quick learner, and she had been conditioned to be eager to please.
