As soon as the older wolf started to speak, Corvus tried to focus and listen as best as he possibly could.. which was alarmingly difficult for the young boy. He fidgeted as he sat next to Rhea, eyes comically wide as he listened to Zephyr as he started speaking. What could this old dude possibly know about fighting? He didn't think much, but the way he spoke about it made it sound like he might know something..

He wanted to be able to defend his parents, as well as his brother and sister, at all costs.

Corvus tried to imitate him, though he did so a bit dramatically, head jutting down low against his chest. "Oh, I know!" He chirped up, head lifting. "You wanna make sure you wrinkle your nose, like this!" He scowled and let his muzzle wrinkle up as he did his best job at sneering in Zephyr's direction
