The stranger assured her there would be no trouble and rose, beckoning Calypso with her. The pup dutifully stood, scampering over to the woman and arching her neck to try and see to where she spoke softly of the sun. It was blinding, much brighter than the full moon had been in her early weeks of life. Calypso tried to focus on it, but finding it too bright lifted a paw to shield her view and looked past it instead.

She asked softly. "The sun only just came back, it was gone for a long time. What if it goes away again?" Her ears flattened nervously, remembering the negativity that went with that time period and how it seemed to affect the adults in her life.

My name is Calypso, but you can call me Callie." The pup offered politely, as she'd assumed her mother would have wanted her to.
