Fenrir had already made up his mind.
Noah had given Kratos something while he was away.
The changes to the Kaiju alone were enough for Fenrir to reach that conclusion, but once his attention moved toward the others, whatever doubts remained easily disappeared.
Diablo, Ava, and even Eve had undergone major changes from the time he was gone.
Noah had definitely given them something.
Instead of immediately approaching him, however, Fenrir's gaze began searching through everyone gathered nearby.
He was looking for someone.
His gaze passed over everyone, then again, before eventually settling on Ailetta.
Fenrir approached her instead of Noah.
He slowed once he was close, taking a moment to examine the Queen after noticing something strange about her.
At first, he couldn't tell whether anything about her had changed. The few new traces of gold across her body meant little to Fenrir. A change in appearance didn't necessarily mean she had become stronger.
