She frowns, although he can't see it from where she's standing over him. She's reached the bridle path, right behind his ears. She goes from pulling knots to scratching roughly with her teeth. There's caked on dirt and she works hard to remove it from his seal fur. Plus, who doesn't love a good itch behind the ears? He turns the questions around on her and she answers quite pluckily.
"My home is everywhere. My home is the whole of the Earth. If you mean am I tied to one of your territories here in this realm, then no. I'm not good in staying in one place. I grow restless, anxious. I have to move around." At his other question, she smiles endearingly. "No, Stone. I don't have any kids either. I don't know that I'd be a very good mother, at least not yet. I have a lot of things I'm not ready to give up to be a mother. I have a lot of shortcomings too, and nobody should have to deal with that shit." She exhales gently, blowing his forelock.
...And I will sing a lullaby.
