Samsul didn't see the dog getting under foot that big of a problem as of yet, since he didn't know how fast the dog could be, or if it could keep up with them or not. He would have to give the dog a light testing when the next Guard Training Session began just to see where it stands. With the comment about him running like a goof, he nodded with a small smile. and saw that it was completely fine. The world in it's current state was a grave and somewhat scary place. There needed to be people out there that could act like goofs and tell everyone else that things could get worse, and despite of everything should strive to make the world enjoyable in any aspect. The question that he was asked was simple, and he didn't need to pause for the slighted minute to think about it. "Well Anastasia, I have lived here for my entire life." He said calmly, believing that she would ask why, he gave her a bit more of an explanation. "Ever since by kind has been hunted down and near extinction, your ancestors have made the capital and the palace for Lost Elves. We do have many strengths, but just as many weaknesses, and many of us still fear to live outside the palace where we could be captured killed." He spoke as he picked up the stick in between the two of them and threw it once more, turned him head back to the princess as soon as the stick left his hands.
