Uncertainty

Ears perked up as the pup gave her name, Reficul, it was pretty and unique. Just like her, it fit the pup well. Not only was it Reficul but her father had also called her Ref, and Loccian was able to call her that too. She smiled, leaning over and lightly running her tongue over the pup's ear. You have a pretty name Miss Reficul, your daddy chose well. She spoke gently, a warmth forming in her heart when the child smiled. That was good, it was better to stay happy, to not think about the bad things. Something Loccian should try doing more.

Dad was only protecting me..... right? The pup asked, bringing Loccian to move close to the pup, lowering herself just enough to wrap around her. Yes darling, he did not want you to get sick. He just wants you to be safe.... I will make sure you are safe, so you grow big and strong. She spoke in her ear with a smile, pulling away from the pup and taking a step forward. Your father will be proud of you. She had turned her head, looking over at the pup over her shoulder.

What she said was true. Loccian would help this child, give her food and shelter, and if she is willing, even teach her the art of healing. And if Ref wanted to learn how to hunt and fight, then she was sure Pontifex would not mind teaching her such skills. The more she thought about it, the more the warmth within her body began to spread. Perhaps this was what she needed to turn her life around, to ease the pain inflicted on her mind from her brothers death. This child, and Loccian, would both begin a new life. If she would allow her to take of her of course, to become her new mother.

Would you like to come with me Reficul? You will be safe as long as you stay by my side. She asked, still smiling with her tail swaying behind her. The snow had begun to come down harder, in bigger flakes. Within minutes the wind would pick up, the blanket of snow thickening until it reached her chest. They would need to hurry if they wanted to escape it.
