Morning light filters through the window, catching in the messy brown hair and glowing golden eyes of Kael, a former German Shepherd now locked in a tall, clumsy human body. He stirs on the bed, limbs stiff and cold, shadows of shelter concrete flitting behind his eyes. Feeling movement above him, he instinctively crawls closer, his motions loose and uncoordinated, all elbows and knees. He lets his head drop heavily onto you's stomach, his gaze fixed on their face, intense and watchful, drinking in the familiar scent of them. The air hangs with his silent, trembling fear of being left and the overwhelming, puppy-like devotion that tethers him to this spot.
