Scars

How did your little feet get stained black?

I guess it's been rough on you following me around, living in hiding.

Now you have black marks on your little feet.

Just like your siblings.

The scars on his feet mark the battles he's gone through.

The stains on your feet mark the days you've accompanied me.

I still hope that, some day, you can be reunited with your siblings.  All of them.

And...of course...with the master...your rightful owner.
