Pietro's ears are still too muffled to hear much, so Kendra's responsive sounds go largely unnoticed by the young grey wolf. He continues to protest in spite of her calls. Only when his father whuffs in a deeper, stronger voice that rattles his core does Pietro close his mouth. His twin's sounds are too quiet for his insensitive ears, but his father's baritone reaches him on another level.

His neck wobbles and he places his head back alongside his frail limbs. His nose is stuffed into Burke's coat again and he inhales deeply. Familiarity is the chief feeling. Kendra is far away but this other being placates him for a moment, at least until he remembers that she is missing and begins wailing again.
