The call that rang out across the land was not familiar, but Anthem was not particularly interested in the source of the sound. Instead, he knew that the call of strangers meant that one of his family would like show up. He was interested in seeing Song, and meeting her babies. He knew they had been born, but had not seen them yet. Though he was not the brightest creature, he knew that Song would be tired and might not have time for him, so he kept his distance for some time.
As he drew closer to the source of the sound, he was not surprised to see Song approaching. She was slower than usual, and he assumed she was tired. A happy bark escaped his muzzle as he drew closer to her, utterly oblivious to the woman that had called, instead briefly engrossed in his dear sister's presence, moving to nuzzle her tenderly. It took a long moment for him to notice Virgil's presence as Song addressed her, and he suddenly grew confused. It was the woman he had met just a few weeks ago. She had fallen, and he had tried to help her. Beyond that, he could not remember well -- and did not understand.
