Vumbi listened and nodded his head, watching the stars with a dreamy look on his face. He could imagine each image she pointed out, whether he saw it in the proper stars or not, the characters moving and dancing as though they were real.
Yup, this was the place where he was going to stay. He was certain of it now, and he had no doubt in his mind that it was perfect for him.
He looked at Taigi as she watched the stars, smiling at how excited she was about everything. She seemed like a very nice wild dog, and he was glad she was his introduction to this place. He could only hope they would become better friends, as he grew more accustomed to this new home of his.
"Your constellation is really nice," he said, when she pointed it out, glancing in its direction and smiling. He wanted to remember where it was, but he wasn't familiar enough with this ritual to know the stars as they did. He would learn though. "Maybe I'll find one of my own, if it's not too late. And a family, too, while I'm here."
He didn't have either one, after all.

"Thank you," Taigi said with a wag of her tail. She liked it very much, so she was glad he did as well. Cocking her head to the side, she thought for a few moments before nodding. "I'm sure you could find your own! And when you do, you can add it to the wall of constellations," she said happily. "I don't think joining rouges have to find one, but if you do it's that much more special."
The mention of a family made Taigi wriggle a bit on the grass as she laughed. "Me too! I love my family, I have a lot of siblings...but I want to be a mom some day, too. And have a huge litter! Or lots of litters. I don't know. I just want pups to love and take care of and watch them grow up and have pups of their own...ah...families are great," she said with a fond sigh.
"Do you have any siblings?" she added after a moment, looking from the sky to Vumbi with a curious expression.

Vumbi nodded his head and smiled. He looked up at the stars again and wondered what sort of a constellation he would be able to find for himself out there. He thought about having a family and wondered what it would be like, as he had never been able to have one before the pack fell to pieces.
Not that he'd been thinking about it then. It was different now.
"I think I'd like to be a dad someday, too," he said with a hum. If this pack was as friendly as she was, he did not doubt that it would be possible to find someone to be with. He was still too new to think that she would be interested in him, or that she was not already mated to someone. She was very nice and pretty, and he imagined she was just waiting for the right time.
But maybe if they got to know each other a bit more.
"No, I don't have any family," he said, shaking his head. "I'm alone these days, but I've been a bit of a loner most of my life. Not by choice, but that's the way these things work! I think it's all been leading up to me finding this place, though, so it's time to make up for all that."

Taigi's ears drooped a bit as Vumbi said he didn't really have a family. He was right, though...if he did have a family he cared for, he probably would have never come to this pack.
"Well...I'm glad you're here now!" she said enthusiastically. "We'll all be your family. You're very nice and fun and handsome so I'm sure you'll find someone to make your own smaller family with, too," she added, smiling slightly. She stretched her legs before rolling to her stomach, wagging her tail happily as she glanced at her new friend. He was all those things as far as she was concerned, and she did hope he'd want to meet again.
"I've got to go relieve the sitter on duty right now, but you're free to come along if you want. Otherwise, you can explore the pack and meet a few more members! And...if you want," she added, suddenly growing a bit shy. "Maybe we can talk a bit more another day?"

"I'm glad I'm here, too," Vumbi said with a smile and an honest nod. He was very happy, and he was having fun. He wagged his tail behind him as she complimented him, chuckling and watching her. When she said she had to go he nodded, rolling over to his feet.
"I'd love to meet up with you again, if you don't mind. Tomorrow, if you're free? Just... here, I guess, is a nice spot. And I'll be able to remember where it is, because I'm not used to this place."
He smiled sheepishly. He could find a nice place to rest for the day and he was already looking forward to seeing her again.
"Thank you so much for all your help, and your kind welcome!" He moved to her and nosed her cheek affectionately, a friendly gesture. "See you tomorrow!" he said, thinking he would go take a look around before he settled down and found a place to sleep.
