Farewell to the Shadows

Meldresi turned to explain to Cicero that Kove was leaving, and Cicero listened with tilted head; first to his mother, then to Kove. "Kohv leaves?" he then asked Kove personally, who was quick to confirm this fact. Cicero didn't understand why Kove had to leave, but he was used to wolves coming and going around the den, so he did not think too much of it.

"Bye-bye Kohv-toy," Cicero told Kove, seemingly untouched by the news; perhaps because he did not really understand its meaning yet on the long term, or perhaps because Cicero just did not get attached to others very easily.
