Listening was certainly a skill that Gaia had mastered, Andromeda was sometimes find in awe by the things her sister could hear with little difficulty outside the den whilst she and her brothers had to strain to work out what it was she had heard. Tiniest little details such as the shift in breathing pattern, Andromeda had never relied on such things to guess whether her siblings were awake or sleeping and hadn't on this occasion either.
"I'm awake, and hungry. I can't feel mom, think she'll be back soon?" There certainly wasn't much that Andromeda could do about the hunger. Her mother was in charge of food and as Gaia had realised, Virgil wasn't currently inside the den. "Don't know." Andromeda responded. "She wasn't here when I woke up." She couldn't really judge how long she'd been awake for though it had been for a little while now, simply felt like much longer with the absence of her mother and her siblings still sleeping.
