Lavender's reply wasn't... Lavender. Something was up, and Dauntless knew her well enough to know she was hiding something. He may have been a little dumb sometimes, but he didn't lack empathy by any means. He was so focused on Lavender, he barely heard what Easy was saying, snapping out of it only when he sensed she had asked him a question. Oh, uh. I don't know yet.

He turned to Lavender again. Are you okay? Did something happen to Brave or Journey? Dauntless had grown close to them at Round Valley, so he needed to know that they were safe. Was that why Lavender was here? Now he felt like kind of a dolt for joking about it.
