Turning Tables

Arian watched Maverick for a small while and her heart lifted a little bit. If this was going to be her new home, she didn't mind too much. Despite all of her thoughts, and her fears. This place was a home she could make with. She gave a smile she shouldn't be sad after all her family was in a better place now and no longer in pain. It was sad, but she would have felt like the worst pup alive to have forced them to stay here. Her tail twitched as the king spoke. Then her expression turned to a bit of a grumpy anger one. She pouted and looked at Maverick with her bright crystal blue eyes. "Excuse me Maverick but I wanna go with you. I don't want to just wait here while someone else bury's my mother. After all she has to have the proper burial." Arian pulled herself up and pressed her head against one of the man's leg. Despite her size, this was a matter she wouldn't give up on.
"I know what's happening, and I know what I have to do. And I'll grow stronger so I can protect the weak. Right now I have a lot to learn and I know my mom and dad would want me to have the best." Arian smiled and tilted her head looking at the king. Her tail wagging back and forth. She really did have her father optimism. It was like her kind heart could glow through her heart.
