The pup would gaze up at her, gently and as carefree as a fluffy white cloud in the sky. She smiled and nodded. "Aye, I ate all my dinner and went to bed early when I was your age." Birna watched gently as the pup rolled onto her belly once again she found herself wondering about the pups unusual coat color. Were her parents perhaps from the same place that Mithras and his siblings came from? If so how did she end up here and what had happened to her parents? To the extent of her knowledge Birna believed this particular pup was in Athena's care.
Birna smiled at the girls question. "Well, kind of. All wolves in Fiori look after each other in some way. The hunters feed everyone, the healers tend to our wounds and so on. The Head Sentry trains the fighters and helps protect the borders."
Birna moved to sit down. "What exactly is it you want to be hen you grow up, little Absinthe?"
