The Indian dog smiled at him, and as Ursus left, wished him well on his travels with a soft woofing hum of her people.
Turning back to Lsombra as he mentioned how he would act and react to young ones, Sooru's ears visibly drooped. She'd not really thought too seriously or heavily on the matter of Motherhood, but the caressing images did drift over her mind's eye like soft clouds on a bright summer's day. But it seemed that now, because Lsombra had basicly made it known that he did not want puppies, Sooru's mood almost did a back flip into a sadness, though the desert dog had a greater appreciation for one's own bond above and beyond all else, and she loved Lsombra more than anything. If they could not bring little things into the world together, than that was not the end of the world. Time would move on, and they would move on along with it. Together.
Sooru smiled at him with a somber drop of her head, and brought her large triangular ears forward, her brow wrinkled with the action, giving her a soft, intelligant look, and her emerald eyes shimmered like jade stones. She understood, and besides.. they probably would not be safe with his master about, and the way the town has gotten lately.. it was not a safe environment for puppies. How she adored him.
"I understand, that I do. But I will not lie in saying that a part of me is somewhat, struck, if that is the right word, for a loss." She angled her head and gave the larger husky a gentle nuzzle, and licked at the base of his nearest ear with a soft sigh. "I am fine with whatever decision you chose. I will follow you, for your path has become mine." Her smile was so full of a love so deep that she felt she could move those jagged mountain rocks from her birthland for him, and as she leaned against him and felt his muscles jump and settle, she felt safe and secure.
"Lsombra.. there is one thing that I've been wondering for quite a few sun's.." She began, hoping not to ruin the moment, but she wanted to know, if he would tell her, "about your Master. What does he do? Oh Lsombra, its nothing to terrible, I do hope." She ofcourse, was speaking about all of the rumour's she'd been hearing about town of wolves killing humans then coming into town, dogs turning on their owners, and strays coming from every direction, and ofcourse, the dog fights. With such sensetive ears, it is quite nigh impossible to miss the interior details of a town so small.
