Aspen grinned, relieved that the pup wasn't at all upset. He watched her gobble up the meat, and as he watched her he saw a certain mischievous gleam in her eyes. "What's your name, kid?" he asked her, laying down to meet her gaze. "I'm Aspen. Stick with me, kid, and you'll learn how I really got that raw meat," he said. He could already smell a relationship growing--older brother and younger sister. "We could make a good team. I see potential in ya." Hopefully the pup wasn't too young to be running around the way the Prince of Thieves did.
