Aesop wilted at the news that Thistle Cloud was, by all rights, missing. He hoped that she was well, for she had been a true friend and a good leader. Selfishly, he was most interested in the news of Floki's mother. He had not spent much time with Floki and his siblings when they were young, certainly not like he had with Charon. 

Still, he was pleased to hear that the kids were alright, for the most part. I'm sorry to hear about your ma and your brother, but I'm sure that they're fine. Out having adventures of their own, probably. You kids are tough, he said in an attempt to reassure the beta.
