Halo was growing far more tired by the moment, drooping by degrees. As she blinked, she could feel the stinging of her eyes. Grateful didn't begin to describe how Halo felt. Sirius had taken good care of her today, the first care she'd received since... since even before she'd left home. Halo was accustomed to having the responsibility of taking care of others, and being expected to be self sufficient all at once. This was different, a family that cared for each other. She'd retreated into the vacant den, carefully evening out the floor with her paws. When Sirius returns, he made his promise. Howl, and I'll come. Halo moved to the door of the den to meet the Warlord once more, head dipping gratefully. "Thank you," she looked up to the man. As he spoke of the plans for the next day, the tenderhearted girl was already excited. "I'm looking forward to it," a soft smile dancing on her face. The Warlord wished her a good sleep. "Thank you," she said once more, "for everything." And she meant it. As Sirius left her to rest, Halo tugged the coat gently into her borrowed den, arranging it carefully. Upon laying down, the girl enjoyed her meal. The day had been long, but ended much more wonderfully than she could have dreamed. It wasn't long before Halo drifted off to a comfortable sleep. |
