I personally disagree with this, call me bias, I don't care, Nox is a wolf surrounded by sheep, either they take out the sheep or the farmer will find them. Nox didn't act like a child, they acted like a wolf, preying off the ones that threatened them and left the ones that weren't threatening at the start. Now Nox is against two goats who will do anything to stop dying themselves, Nox will most likely go for the leg rather then straight for the neck where they could be injured.
"Made it clear to all of us that we were no longer worthy to talk to them." Lies, Nox is extremely introverted and is in the police force, so they leave everyone else to do their things whilst they try to forget theirs.
They're all just salty.
