[There is little else they can do except wait, bound to the tree as they are.
But it doesn't matter that they have no choice anyway. Their father tells them to wait and they don't question it. They don't question that he leaves, even if a part of them wishes they could say "don't".
It doesn't matter how long he will be gone or if he'll come back.
He told them to wait.
So they lower their head patiently. And they will wait, however long it ends up being.]
