Morgan tailed Amunet through the territory, staying far enough behind not to get her attention. It had sensed the presence of the same little creature that Amunet had noticed, and followed its fellow Tangler as backup.
As it turned out, the stranger was but a pup - even younger than Morgan itself. The samoyed kept quiet as Amunet approached the pup, taking small steps toward the pair. Once it heard the Firebrand speak so gently, it took on a matching tone and whispered, "Is it hurt? Is safe...?" It took a step more, stopping near the jaguar's side.
As Morgan made itself known, its mask faded away into a cloud of shimmering, sparkling mist. The glittery fog surrounded the three, providing a particularly pretty and safe cover from the outside. The dog remained silent, knowing it could not speak well enough; its comrade would have to do the talking. It stared at the mismatched eyes of the pup, its own blue ones lit with curiosity. It knew abandonment, and it knew it well.
