Dauntless had cried and cried when his mother left the den. She did this frequently and came back every single time, but all he knew was that he felt a strange emptiness when she was gone. Later, he would learn that this empty feeling was called loneliness. He did not go after her, though. The first thing the pups had learned when they started becoming aware of their world was that they were not to leave the den.
After what had seemed like forever, but was really only a few minutes, Dauntless got tired of crying and laid down at the back of the den to await Khoe's return. He watched his sisters play and then napped for a while, forgetting all about his earlier upset. When Khoe finally arrived, Dauntless scampered to his feet with several loud yips and rushed to her side, jumping up on her over and over as she inspected her offspring for any changes during her short absence. Dauntless was not much interested in what she had in her mouth, but it was getting in the way of his trying to lick and nip at his mother.
When Khoe turned and walked toward the den entrance, Dauntless rushed to stay by her side. After their adventure out of the den a few days ago, he was not hesitant to follow if he was allowed. He gave some delighted yips when his mother assumed her usual nursing position. The pups had had a few tastes of regurgitated meat, but they also continued to nurse occasionally and it was what Dauntless personally preferred. Before he could latch himself onto a teat, however, he found the hunk of meat placed before it like a barrier. He tried to scrabble around the meat, but could not find a way through. He sniffed, unimpressed, at the meat and then looked meekly toward his mother with wide blue eyes, searching for direction from her.
