Nok

Nok walked around and barely managed a howl. She wanted to be with her friend. With Blind. She started sniffing and picked up the trail. She then followed it, not knowing where it would take her.

Thunderhead

Thunderhead's trained ear caught Nok's howl, and he headed off behind her. He had promised to be her friend. That meant taking care of her, making sure she didn't get hurt. Sometimes, when she couldn't make the words right, it meant translating a bit, for he had learnt to understand her. So he headed off after her, unaware that he was heading toward his father.
