Genesis accepted her newest family members with no questions. Rino's newly adopted gnome children accompanied him to the abandoned mines, hitching a ride on Mutt's back. They were startled by just how big the sabre tooth wolf could grow but Rino assured them that Mutt was just an overgrown puppy who liked head pats and belly rubs.
Mutt and the gnomes became fast friends while travelling to the abandoned mines. In fact, it wasn't Rino who suggested returning to the abandoned mines. Bink insisted that he could still convince his other siblings to stay and locate them if they hurried back. Compared to living in the wilderness, his siblings might have a higher chance of survival under Rino's protection as his adopted children.
