Teya's absence went unnoticed for some time on account of Sorana's deep slumber.

As if his mind was tethered to her own, the moment Reyes lifted his shoulders in a shrug was the moment Sora snapped awake and found herself alone. She groped in the darkness a moment, searching — it was not unusual for Teya to pull away from her, so the little cub had already learned how to find her mama again when separated — but no warm contact was forthcoming.

When Teya was present, Sorana was a cherub, but when Teya went away... Well. Her protests started slowly and quietly, the soft sounds of a baby fussing in the dark, but when there was no response, it built into a keening and constant whine for warmth that could easily be heard from the outside.
