Anthem's voice always came slowly, unsure and humble -- like that of a young child who had just barely found its voice. There was no doubting that he was not the smartest man, despite how hard he tried; but he had a heart of gold. The stranger's words were confusing to him, and he cocked his head to the side as he gazed at her from behind his gentle yellow gaze. His siblings were much more straight-forward to him, using words he understood well and was familiar with.
"No home?" he inquired with a slight whimper to his voice. It was hard for him to imagine trying to find a home; did she not have a family? "I have home here. Maybe you come?" She was a strange creature, though certainly pleasant on his eyes, and his lips had begun to curl upward in a grin. Her voice was foreign, but pleasant to his ears, even though he wasn't quite sure he understood her words fully.
"No, name not senor. Anthem." His tail began to wag where it lay at his hocks, obvious enjoyment overtaking his unassuming features. "Araceli is pretty name."
