The moment the words reached his ears he gave a soft nod and straightened his posture. When the older woman stood up he realized how small he actually was. Though he was so used to it, that he didn't pay much attention to it. His eyes followed her carefully until her next words caused him to jump into action.

He gave a sharp nod and followed quickly behind her. He grabbed a fairly big log for himself and imitated her movements and positioning. His eyes stared at the quick sand for a few moments before realizing exactly what the woman was doing. "It's really kind of you to do this and to protect in some way others." He commented with admiration and his tail swayed behind him slightly. His shoulders rolled and he went to fetch a few fairly large rocks that he had to push so they keep the logs in place so they won't roll away or tip the wrong way.
