Of maybe she may not come back after all and that he might not get to see his mother again. It made him flinch a little and he looked down to child, noting that he might have picked up on it himself. Truly he felt bad for him and slowly he lowered himself down so that he was eye to eye with the child. "That is a nice name. Rodi. Would you like to ride on my back?" He asked with a lighter tone, trying to spread a bit of comfort for the child considering his situation. He didn't want the kid to give up hope yet as a mother was a great loss. He would know after being ripped away from his own. That pain he wouldn't wish on any child and his gaze flicked down to the ground for a moment as he contemplated. He would get the child food but for now he needed shelter and warmth. "We can go back to the camp and while they look for your mother I'll get you some blankets and some food. Would you like that...?" He figured they might as well make him as comfortable as possible and Agathe was right. He didn't need to be out in this slowly growing cold weather. It wasn't healthy.
