"Hey baby what's wrong?"
She looks up and wags her tail a little. "I'm lonely. Everyone thinks I'm ugly!"
Smiles, puts his paw on hers, "Not everyone thinks that. I sure don't."
She sniffs, wipes her eyes on her fur. "I'm Tala. Who are you?"
"Name's Chast. How about you and I go find something to eat? You must be hungry."
She smiles and nods, and together we go find some food.
