Bridging the gap

Soren's attention was drawn to another pup, one he had not noticed before now. The girl was pressed to the ground, ears pulled back and Soren adjusted his expression, a kind if a bit worried sort of emotion taking hold of his features. But before he could offer his own words of encouragement the other child began to speak again, questions flying from his lips at high speeds. This was one of the pups he had helped ferry? But they had been so quiet!

His mother jumped in with some reassurance and he glanced at her, nodding briefly before turning his attention back to the boy. "No one looks quite like mother." He said chuckling, his tone becoming softer more child friendly. "Not even you." True both of his younger sibling had the white pelt and the contrasting color on their heads but it seemed only Kismet had also gotten any sort of red coloring, and even then his littermate's own markings didn't quite match Azalea's uniqueness.
