Hearing his sister screech his name, his ears folded back and he winced. It was far too loud for such an enclosed space. Letting out another sharp yip in response, he tried to settle back into a comfortable position against his mother, only for her to stand.

Wait.

Where was she going?

Riarxis listened as she slowly shuffled away. Outside? The sound of her chuffing for the children to follow reached his ears, and resentment immediately welled in his chest. What was he supposed to do? He had never been outside before.

A small whine slipped from him as he curled in on himself, the cold wind spilling into the den now that the wraith had bolted.
