Though Anthem had been riddled with depression for many weeks now, he was a simple man and found it hard to dwell on much at all -- especially when distracted by his siblings. His smile was widen and anything but fake as he greeted her, tail whipping behind his lean frame happily. "Hi!" He spoke another greeting with glee, happy that someone had come to visit him. They always brought him food, and made sure he was well-fed and hydrated, but they did not always stay long -- and it had been some time since anyone had visited him for the sole reason of just spending time with him. He had even wondered briefly if they were mad at him, too, like the other wolves had been, but quickly he pushed those thoughts from his mind.
He was always eager to follow his kin, and Novella was no exception. He bounded away from her with a playful gait, as though ready to go wherever she would lead him. But she gave him the final decision, and he cocked his head slightly to the side. "Hmmm," he started, musing aloud. "Can we go on adventure?" He didn't know where they might go, or what they would find, but anything would be exciting for Anthem so long as he was with his sister.
