This was a loss she could not relate to.  Even if her own siblings left, she would know the truth; they had chosen the path.  She did not understand why he was pained by another’s choice.

Perhaps it was clearer if she remembered all the others to choose the same.  Ancelin the only one to remain.

He knew.  She agreed, and it would hopefully be as easy as the words were to speak.  He needed to make his own choice now.  Redd nosed his shoulder encouragingly, then moved slightly away, clearly ready to continue their patrol.

Yet as they did, she would leave less space between, the previous tension eliminated and replaced with the warmth of camaraderie.
