Quickly after he'd asked his question another wolf came and took Tinaro's unoccupied other side. Arkay's ears would flatten a little at the disappointment, but he'd bounce back quick enough. Feli and his brother were soon to arrive and he wanted to sit beside them anyway. He was worried about Farore too, she hadn't been doing so good and he was scared she would have to go back where their mother and father were. He tried to keep the thought from his mind, but it didn't seem like Thally or Feli were up for it. He'd give them both a smile, hoping he might brighten their smiles just a little bit. Though he wouldn't have to wait too much longer as Bass was quick to speak. Ark would lean heavily into his brother's side, wanting to be supportive of his litter mate. Eventually he'd be asked to speak up about a rank, and that seemed easy enough. "I wanna fight, Bass!" He'd say with a smile, his tail wagging eagerly. No matter what seemed to be going on around him the boy almost always had a smile on his face.
