Their adventure had come to an end as the boy nestled against her leg, Cheedo wasn't surprised it had been an eventful day for the pup. She felt he'd had fun and hoped she could give him another adventure that was just as fun. For now he was tired which had become obvious and she would need to get him back to his mother before she started to worry about him. Though she felt Piety would be happy that she was bringing a tired puppy back. She'd never experienced this stage of life with her own puppies but she could recall how energetic she'd been at his age.

After embracing him she asked him if he was ready to head back to the den for some rest. She wasn't too surprised that he agreed as she watched his little eyes droop. “We will have a grand adventure next time,” she whispered to him. With another nuzzle to her leg he was getting himself up in preparation to head back to the den. Cheedo watched him for a moment sympathetically before she joined him.

“Your welcome Cyril,” she said as she made a decision to carry him back to the den. She wasn't sure he would make it if he had to do it on his own. As she grasped him in her jaws she did so with caution to not hurt him which she supposed might be some of her motherly instinct that had stayed with her after her own pups were born. With the tiny Kael grasped gently in her jaws she carried him out of the infirmary to the communal den where he could get some rest.
