Dreams of Grandeur
"But not forever! My luck'll change, I just know it! And then I'll do something really great," she said dreamily as she dug around in Dai's saddlebags in search of the frying pan. "And make Gramps and Granny and Ma and Da proud, eh?"
Jakko barked encouragingly. The sooner she left, the better.
"I guess I'll just have to stay with you guys until I figure out how to do that," Shanku said confidently.
Jakko yipped at the thought of keeping company with the volatile cub for an indefinite length of time. He had a long road ahead of him now. He flopped to the ground and gave a mournful howl.
Dai returned with a wary Sage and began to build a fire as Shanku helped him prepare their meal.
"Hey, he dropped it!" Dai said happily.
"Yeah, he wanted to take a nap instead," Shanku laughed.
"Lazy dog," Dai shook his head and began to cook their supper.
And so Dai gained a new cub and Jakko had a new friend to torment. Shanku helped them guard the herd and occasionally would hunt their dinner, even Jakko's.
