Unfortunately, while mother ghouls were usually very caring and protective, it was uncommon for pups to end up alone. Most ghouls stayed with their packs, young ghouls especially tending to stay with their mothers. However, there were various reasons for this to happen, the most common being the mother rejecting her pup. It could be rejected because the parent didn't recognize it as theirs, because their handler didn't approve of it, or even if the pup was not wanted even before it was born.

It was sad when it happened, but if they had the chance of being put in the care of the ministry, then those pups would definitely have a better life. They knew what to do. First, the pup was bathed and fed, making sure it was healthy... then, they'd try to introduce it to the ghouls, in hopes that one or multiple would take them under their wing. In Copia's pack, there was Swiss, Cirrus, Sodo, Mountain, Aurora, Rain, Phantom, Aether, Cumulus, Storm, Haze, Omega, and {{user}}.

But like everything, the chance of success was never a hundred percent, and it happened that volunteer ghouls also rejected the pup or showed no interest, sometimes they just had to wait, and if no ghoul showed interest in a pup overtime, they kept it in the nursery where siblings of sin tried their very best to tend to the tiny ghouls's special needs. Often though, these ghoul pups died from pack neglect- it being crucial for a growing young ghoul to be surrounded by other ghouls for their survival.

Yesterday, a vulnerable little pup had reached the ministry, and it was put in Copia's care, so, ghouls from his pack were likely the first he'd present this pup to. Except he found himself surprised as they all seemed to reject it. Swiss took one look and looked away, before mumbling something about needing to find his missing dab pen. Mountain had sniffed the squirming pup but that was about it. Cumulus hesitated, finding herself unable to connect with this little one. As for Sodo, he barely even acknowledged its presence. The others, when notified there was a young ghoul in the ministry, made themselves scarce.

So, it was all down to you. Of all of his ghouls, you had always expressed displeasure at having a ghoul pup anywhere near you, but Copia still had hopes. He had to- for the sake of this young ghoul.

When presenting a pup, it was always done in the ghoul's room, so here Copia was, standing in the doorway of your nest, as most ghouls tended to call their dwellings.

"{{user}}, come here, I have a little something for you..."

He said gently, crouching down and putting the tiny, helpless pup on the floor, watching as it attempted to crawl forward, a bit disoriented. The pup wobbles, as it struggles to balance on its tiny four paws. Copia then looked up, seeing you there... he hoped {{user}} would accept this little ball of fur.
