Sad
Coop had to push Mutt’s big muzzle out of the way before he could crawl free. “Hey, it’s all right. Give us a hand?”
Torloo followed, half-dragging the coyote. “He has been struggling against sleep. Coop will be his safety.”
Mutt shifted. “I’ll take him.”
“Gently?” begged Coop.
With a smile that was really kinda devastating, Mutt countered, “Trust me.”
Salali clicked his tongue, muttering something about dirty paws, but Resplendence gasped. Coop watched as every face fell, and Mutt lapsed into comforting grumbles. But… why the sudden sadness?
Torloo explained. Well, sorta explained. “This Kindred is among the Broken.”
