The sound of his sister falling over herself in the middle of camp caught the older wolf's attention immediately, attention to her location immediately, ears twitching as his eyes widened from their squint. A moment passed before he was rolling his eyes and huffing, looking away again. He had been perched up on the wall of trees surrounding their camp, but he'd been there for hours. He could use a stretch and his sister could use a lesson in watching her step.
Despite her role in the group thanks to their mother, it still fell on him to be her default mentor as her much older and more experienced brother. Whether it was official stating or not, it was rather clear the situation. She was but a young pup attempting to fill a large hole that she has yet proven to have been successful. She was intelligent and compassionate, but he feared she was lacking in other areas that were important for a leader. With their still rather recent opening to those from the light, it was even more crucial.
As far as his personal feelings on the matter of Ancient being passed right by him and to the youngest? They were nonexistent. He was indifferent to it, neither jealous nor necessarily happy with the decision. It was just another challenge for him, to hopefully guide her on the right path while staying within his rank. No matter what, the most important thing was allowing her to make her own decisions with only advice given if asked for.
With a sigh, as if someone else was making him do so, he stood and stretched his limbs, back, so on. A good shake of the head and he was good to go, trotting down the steps into the center. He approached, giving the snake a cautious look before looking to his sister.
"Rune, you ought to watch your step."
He moved to set a paw on her head, scoffing at the cape under her paws. "If you can't learn to do that, you might as well get rid of the cloak. It does us no good to have you ready to fall into a trap like that, or tripping over it in the field."
Really, the roots within their forest should've taught her better, but she was young and thus, he knew it was just another lesson for her to learn. He pressed down lightly on her head, the corner of his mouth curling as he removed it and set it back to the ground, standing tall once more as his face fell to neutral once again.
"Are you hurt?"
