Like Valor, Knight had noticed his mother's absence but it had taken an entirely different toll on the boy. He was sad too, but he wouldn't allow himself to show it in front of his siblings.. he didn't want them to be sad, either.. he wanted to make sure everyone was good. They still had dad and everything would be fine, he would reassure them. He found himself following his brothers around like a shadow most of the time, making sure they didn't get in to too much trouble now that everyone was allowed out of the den. He wanted everyone safe and happy, even with their mother gone!
He was awake when Valor left the den, his eyes following the depressing posture of his brother and it made his ears sink and his heart ache. He felt it too, and for a moment he allowed himself to look down and feel the pain from their loss.. only while no one was looking. When the howl came, he perked right back up and trotted along after Valor. He didn't feel so bold as to introduce himself like Valor did, but he smiled to the woman that called them and wagged his tail before sitting down next to his bro.
