Maybe Damien was speech-limited, but he was smart enough to understand what Kove was saying. The silence in the caves suggested that daddy wasn't going to come out of the shadows, and the pup's face grimaced. Daddy wasn't there, it was clear, and it was of no use to keep calling for him. He had done it way too much.

Damien turned around to face the pale wolf behind him, with a sad face that was sure to break hearts, "Daddy lost?" he asked with frail voice, a lump in his throat cut shut his voice and a single tear ran down his cheek. He pressed his face against the adult's pale chest, he was the closest to daddy he'd seen.
