Mai ladled out a bit of hot eggflower soup into a small saucer after scooping a bowl for herself. She carried both saucer and bowl over to a window seat, where the puppy was waiting for her, and sat the saucer in front of him.
"Be careful. It's hot."
She paused for a moment and decided instead to pick him up and hold him protectively- it wasn't as though a little thing creature like him had any concept of what "be careful, it's hot" meant.

Puppy's little legs wriggled frantically as he squirmed, his tiny tongue sticking out.
It smelled like food! He wanted the food!
He was so hungry and now there was food, why was the big thing holding him? Puppy thought it was friendly! Why would something friendly keep a hungry puppy from eating?
He whined softly.

"Oh, fine," Mai sighed.
She picked up the saucer and blew on it a few times.
"There you go."

Puppy yapped excitedly and immediately went snout-first into the food, getting quite a lot of it on him as he ate as fast as he could, as if he were afraid it would be taken away from him again.

Mai smiled weakly.
"You don't have a family, do you?"

Puppy wasn't sure what 'family' meant, but as soon as he'd licked every last bit of food from the saucer he sat down and looked at her, cocking his little head.

"Must be hard to be a baby bearwolf out on his own," she added before eating a spoonful of the soup himself.

Puppy looked at Mai's spoon with great interest, but still walked towards her to nuzzle her free hand.

She spooned a little more onto his saucer.
"I'm not supposed to be here myself," she continued.

After a little happy yap and a quick lick over Mai's fingers, puppy went to his saucer to devour the new food.
This building was full of friendly big things!

"Well, as long as you're here, I think you need a name," she said, smiling a bit more fully as she leaned forward to rub the fluffy top of his head. "You look like a little snowball, you know that?"

While it probably didn't mean anything, puppy let out a happy little yap. It almost sounded like confirmation.

"I guess I'll call you Xue," she told him, picking him up and looking him in the eyes. "How does that sound?"

Puppy wagged his tiny tail and yapped again, attempting to lick Mai's nose.

"All right. Xue it is."
