The man made light of his situation, brushing away the fact that he was weak and very well could have died in the heat of the canyon. Cyprian still stared in concern, but he didn't question further. Perhaps it was true that the mottled brute wasn't good at caring for himself. In which case... who had been caring for him up until now? A name was given and Cyprian tested it in his mind before nodding in acceptance. Lono Keona. The name was... joyous and made Cyprian think of wide open spaces and gentle breezes. Of children playing in waves and weaving crowns of flowers. He'd never speak such thoughts out loud, of course, but he did think them. Lono asked Cyprian a question in turn and the hulking mastiff's brow furrowed slightly. He had considered not telling those that he met of his origins, but what good would it do? He was awkward and it would surely make others curious as to why. The giant dogs voice was a low rumble, but it was so very gentle at the same time. "I've come from very far away," he began. "I used to... be in the emperors service and was forced to fight for his pleasure." Surely Lono would know of the emperor. "I won my freedom and I have been traveling as far away from there as possible." And then he was silent, not knowing what else to say. "Cyprian"
