Fear emanated from the girl and Resin furrowed her brow. Avantika had been with them for a few days. She should have known by now that this was a safe place. It seemed that she would have to remind the girl. "You don't need to be afraid. I just want you to walk with me." With a pull of her blocky skull, she motioned for the multi-hued girl to follow. The giant woman kept her pace slow and leisurely so it wouldn't be much of a strain for the pup to keep up.

Again, Resin wished that she could sink her teeth into the ones that turned what should have been a happy pup into a fearful child. "So what do you want, Avantika? The choice is yours." "Speech"
