Annabeth again ceased to walk upon hearing Kion howling. After a second, she began walking again, knowing that she was assigned to look after the pup. The orphan reminded her of her own pup-hood, when her parents disappeared without a trace.

She couldn't help but wish she had anybody who would care for her, someone to replace the spot in her heart that turned empty when her parents disappeared. Looking at the pup again as the young one ate, Annabeth pushed the bad thoughts aside and smiled, "What's your name?"
