Loralie stared at him again, a faint blush creeping on her cheeks as she looked down. "Oh, um. Hello, sir," She said as she looked down at the ground. She had no idea how to address him, so she was just polite. The puppy was awfully cute, but her arms were currently occupied with her dirty little griff. 

"I-I'm sorry for being so much trouble," She said as she bowed, her griff letting out a loud squeak of protest as the puppy came over and sniffed its feathers. "Gabriel, be nice!" She whispered with a frown. Gabriel squinted his beady eyes up at her.

"Um... I am a bit hungry," She said with a small smile. That was a lie. In fact, she was half-starved, but she was not going to say such a thing. That would be rude, and she wanted him to like her. The idea of telling him that Gabriel was hungry as well crossed her mind, but she decided against it. She would just give him some of her own food to be less trouble.

"Please, call me Levi." He said, smiling softly while rubbing the back of the wolf's ears before pulling it away from the griff she was holding. 

"Gabriel, eh? Fine name for a fine bird." He said, reaching out his hand to see if the bird was going to be aggressive. A quick nip quickly made him realize it wasn't going to let him near the way it did Loralie. He looked at Loralie for a moment, and frowned. 

"I know you are hungry, but I was waiting on you to wake up. It's been almost two days since we got here, and you haven't even opened your eyes. Everyone has been worried." He said, before standing up. "Do you think you can stand up, or do you want me to have some food brought to you?" He asked. He turned to glance at the bird and smiled. "And of course, I can't forget you. There is fresh meat for your Griff that Frederick has set aside for him and the pup." He said, before glancing back at Loralie. 

"We do have to speak on important matters, however. Such as your... More permanent living arrangements. I live a dangerous life. I can't expect or allow you to live it with me without making sure you know the risks involved. What if I were to go fight one day and never return? But all of that can wait. First you need food." He said, watching as the young pup ran out of the tent chasing a small insect.

Loralie felt a small wave of disappointment, but she didn't let it show on her face. It had been a bit silly to assume he would tell her to call him "Father" Or "Papa", especially if he wasn't sure she was who she really said she was. Still, she knew she couldn't bring herself to call him anything else but "Sir" At the moment. So it didn't really matter.

"Oh, I think I can stand," She said as she slowly got up. She wobbled a bit, but then felt alright. Her long hair, which was long enough that she often accidentally sat on it, probably looked like a furry rug. She gave it a glare of disdain before looking back up at Levi.

"Um..." She hesitated, then continued as she looked down at Gabriel, smoothing his feathers. "I think that I would like very much to live here with you, sir. I think I could be useful, and I don't want to go back to Araedia."
