A commission for Dusty Rancourt. One of Dusty's many kids is a little fellow named Dylan who has a few quirks and has difficulty opening up to people. Then one day Dusty finds the woman he hired as a housekeeper playing a board game with him and telling stories back and forth about the game pieces, even bringing in a few toys and things to add to the story. After that, the housekeeper is put in charge of the little fox/wolf pup and helps slowly draw him out of his shell and helps him relate to the world a little better. Here they're watching the clouds overhead and picking out the shapes in them. The umbrella is for Dylan's skin, he has very thin fur and very fair skin and burns easily.
