The pup moved away from her - anxious, nervous, scared... and even though it was obvious that the pup was cold and hungry, the faeling did not jump at the chance for shelter and a meal. Instead, she questioned Hellene, questioned Hellene's honesty and trustworthiness. 'That sounds okay. My name's Vivi. How do I know I can trust you?' Hellene shook her head sadly. "Honey, nothing in life is sure. I cannot prove to you that you can trust me." How much this little fae reminded her of her sister - a wolf who thought everything through before making any decision. The only difference the pair of them was thus - the pup had aired her thoughts where Athene never would have. For Athene, talking was something best left to a minimum. "The only advice that I can give to you is to look inside yourself to decide how you feel about me. I will tell you that you are not the first pup I have helped - I adopted a pup who was nervous of the ways of the world, Destan, and another young fae named Khaleesi who is now a beautiful femme, and a healer - like me. If you come with me, you can share my den until you find one of your own, and I will catch meals for you. Kalgalath - the Alpha - would not force you to join, and if you do not wish for me to be your mother, I do not have to be. I wish only for you to be safe."
