Make him feel important

Staring out at the glassy surface with a sniffle every so often, she can see why Elysium would want to claim it. The lake fed by northern rivers provided ample fish even during the winter when it would freeze over. With the reeds surrounding the shore, it provided protection from others who wished to seek out the pack or to trespass. Plus, those same reeds could be used for so many things such as rope or baskets or traps.

Her mind tries to think about these things, examining the lake, keeping her thoughts busy, because it at least keeps the pain away. To be in a place where no one knows her. A place that is mysterious and beautiful and serene. Nothing bad would happen here, right? Of course not. In the next few moments, she hears someone practically thrashing through the reeds. Her fur stands on end, body freezing as she doesn't move. If she stays still enough, they won't notice her...

Lumine doesn't relax until a familiar voice shouts her name. Turning to look over her shoulder, she smiles brightly at Dominus. "Dom," Lumine speaks quietly, trying to hide the strain of her words from crying so much. As he approaches, her tail wags against the dried mud along the shore. Turning away from him to stare back out at the lake, she inhales and holds her breath, trying to stop the tears from falling when he asks what's wrong.

"My life is falling apart," she whispers. Though it sounds dramatic, she isn't even one yet and she believed her mother to be dying. To Lumine, that deserved a little bit of dramatics.
