The brute was not at all surprised when Loccian failed to even note his presence. He did consider her a friend, and felt vaguely perturbed by her rudeness lately; but alas. His eyes followed Loccian, watching as she licked and nudged the pup, making sure he kept moving and stayed warm. He was not affected by Song's contractions, and the obvious pain that rippled through her with each one -- he had been there when Silent had given birth, not just once, but multiple times. Even still, concern shone in his normally empty gaze, for the woman that he knew his mate was so close to. He, too, was beginning to grow fond of her. Song asked for Silent -- no, pleaded for her -- and he could only hope she would arrive as requested. There was little more he could do than wait for her.

Silent seemed to appear out of nowhere -- his gaze shifted to her, warmth overtaking his expression, albeit only briefly. He watched as she urged Song on, knowing as a male he had little to saw or offer in terms of verbal support. He knew nothing of giving birth to whelps, and never could understanding how taxing and painful it was. He knew it was a huge sacrifice, but just how big of one... no male could ever understand. Silent then offered to take Song to their own den, and he nodded silently. Loccian suggested he help Silent -- and it seemed she was helping Song walk her way there. He kept his distance from the two, leaning alongside Silent as they started the short journey back to the safety of the enclosed den. It was a strange dynamic of wolves who had gathered to help Song, but he only hoped Loccian could see through to find the beauty of the situation -- of new children.

As though by some great act of faith, almost instantaneously as the group found their way closer to the den, Silent began to whimper. How was such a thing possible -- that Song and Silent were both giving birth at nearly the same time? Maybe the two women shared a connection deeper than he realized. Shaking his head, he nudged Silent's neck, unable to keep the smile from breaking over his lips. It was both exciting and terrifying; Silent was not as young as she used to be, and giving birth at such an age was a risky gamble sometimes. Briefly he turned to scan the entrance of the den, before returning his attention to Silent, licking and nuzzling her muzzle with fervor.
