Abandoned in the Unknown

The tiny thing peered up at her with so much fear, so much sadness, Luce's heart snapped in two, or at least whatever remained of the dismal organ. Gently she lay, her long, lithe bodice spreading out amongst the grasses. Gnawing her bottom lip she gaze at the child with sadness, there was nothing she could do for the girls mom, save for offer her a new home. She extended her neck, gently bathing the wounded pup with a small kiss, before lowering her maw to the forest floor to be more even with the child. "Love, I cannot return you to your mother, but I can help you, I will adopt you if you so desire, I can't replace your mommy but I will give you a home and food to eat and a name if you so wish it, would you like to come home with me precious thing?" Her words were soft and gentle, names already swirling through her mind as she waited for the child's response, she wouldn't force the little pup, never, she had been a slave too long to condone such things, but she would struggle to make her see a better life than the one she would face on her own. The tiny pup began to cry and Luce hummed softly, hoping to soothe her fears, gently her tongue escaped her parted lips and licked at the tears streaming down the pups maw, cleaning her with a gentleness not usually seen by her. Her heart broke for the tiny creature in her grasp and if she choose to come with her, Luce was determined to raise her with the same love and affection she would feel for her own litter. Speech, |
