Max was surprised to see a wolf-like being next to him. In his eyes, it was just a really big dog, that could talk. Course, he was only 7, a kid can imagine, right? He wanted to know if his brother would be safe, but he didn't know about the large dog-like creature. He started to follow them, carrying the flashlight with him. He followed all the way to it's nest, staying back aways and watching her tend to Ryan's wound. Ryan was still unconscious though, so it would be awhile for him to wake up. He kept groaning because of the pain he felt in his shoulder. Max was still worried, hoping his brother would be alright. "Please be alright..." he whispered.
