The keening cries were not heard at first by Sunny who had just killed a rabbit, the prey animal's death cry drowning out the pitiful noises of the cub. It was when he was carrying it back to Elysium that he heard them and dropped the rabbit, horrified and thinking it was alive and making those sounds. He prodded it for a moment with his paw and then breathed a sigh of relief laughing softly at his own silly mistake before pausing and realising if it wasn't the rabbit then something else was crying for help. He grabbed the rabbit and followed the sounds, not catching the scents of Olive and Khali due to the prey scent right below his nose. When he arrived and saw the other two wolves who were blocking the view of whatever was making the noise.
Warily he snuck around to the other side, rabbit still dangling from his jaws and spotted the culprit. A small, shivering wide eyes red ball of fox cub. Immediately he softened and he gently lowered the rabbit to the ground, also sliding his forepaws down so he was laying upright to appear less threatening instead being a third giant wolf towering over the poor thing. "Hey little guy, it's okay we're not gonna hurt you" he whispered and then cast a quick suspiciously questioning glance toward the other two as if making sure what he said was true. Then his eyes softened and he offered the Elysium wolves a quick smile, they were a sanctuary, a group of loving, kind wolves. They wouldn't hurt this baby. He turned back to the fox cub wondering if the poor child was even old enough to talk yet. Everything in him was saying to protect it, to make sure it stayed alive until hopefully it's mother came to get him.
