He flinched slightly when she touched him, partially from not expecting it but mostly because it had been so long since someone had tried to comfort him. His eyes lingered on her hand a moment before he looked back up at her. Why not him? Surely he was nothing special? Right?
But here he was, sitting audience with the queen herself. She was called the merciless and yet she had heard him out and even tried to comfort him. He looked away again before back at her. Pretty words but maybe she was right. She was the queen after all. He gave her a half smile, "I guess you're right. I'm still trying to figure out my place in.. this new everything. I'm glad you're trying to make it.. better for us.." He wasn't sure how to express his feelings, really. But the queen had herself a new pup.
"I hope a hunter such as myself can serve you well." Maybe he could bring her fine pelts. Or bones. Because that's what dogs do.
