While Owen worked on the task assigned to him, Blue made a reappearance near the feed shed. The brindle coated dog sniffed around outside the building, as if to appear nonplussed as she watched Owen and Odin from the tops of her dark eyes. She hovered outside the door, looking curious, but also like she knew she wasn’t allowed inside the shed. Blue lifted her head and huffed once as her butt dropped down into the dirt. Her tail made eager back and forth motions. She panted heavily, happily, tongue lolling out of the side of her mouth as she watched Owen work.
There was a rumble in the distance. Different from Sai’s truck and the other larger 4x4s that traveled up and down the dirt road. Blue’s ears perked upwards, sensing something. Even without her hearing she was still in tune with her surroundings.
Blue whined and dropped her head as a black Dodge Challenger appeared down the road in cloud of white dust. It whipped around and jerked to a stop in one of the many empty parking spots in front of the main office. The driver killed the engine and a relative silence returned to the property. The driver’s side door opened and a man climbed out of the car. He was about six feet tall and dressed in a dark suit with a crisp white dress shirt and no tie. Shining dress shoes were as dark as the sunglasses that cut across his tan face. Black hair was slicked away from his face. He rounded the front of the car to the passenger side and opened the door. A child popped out, no older than eight or nine. With curly black hair that was cut short. He wore a school uniform and dragged a backpack behind him.
“Go find your mother,” the man ordered and the child nodded before running off towards the office. The man shut the door and removed his sunglasses. He opened his suit jacket and tucked the lenses inside. He surveyed the immediate area as if also looking for the child’s mother.
Sai appeared next to Blue near the shed where Owen worked. He pet the dog who still looked suddenly distraught by the appearance of the man. “It’s alright, Blue,” he muttered encouraging. Dropping to one knee his continued to pet the dog as she dropped to her side and rolled over so Sai could pet her belly. “No one likes that guy,” he said in solidarity with the animal.

I fear no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet) I want no world (for beautiful you are my world, my true) and it’s you are whatever a moon has always meant and whatever a sun will always sing is you.
