He had become so used to his life previous to this moment (not that he'd remember any of it or this) that perhaps it had been shock that rendered him soundless at first. Once he found his voice, it seemed he wouldn't cease his cries. There was no telling if it would hint towards his future but Soter was loud and relentless at this point in time.

At least he was that way until he found himself against his mother's abdomen. His cries seemed to settle down as he attempted to latch onto her breast for the food that he desperately needed. He seemed to fumble though, missing the mark probably one too many times.

He gave a few more cries to alert his mother to his failure. Not cool, mom.
