Getting back in shape

Rudy was leaner than he ever desired to be.  He was lean to the point of unhealthy and it disgusted him. The young wolf had been in a coma for a long time and missed out on a lot of things that had happened.  That bear had basically robbed him of a good portion of his fall.  His family had been hurt while Rudyard had blissfully slept ignorant of it all.  He had no time to be lazy, it was time to train!  It was time to train without telling his family, especially Gwyn.  Resting was a thing lazy wolves did.  Sure, he couldn’t fight as hard as he liked but surely some light sparring would be good for helping to build up his stamina?  

It was either fighting or attempting to hunt but it was hard to ask prey to slow down and let Rudy take it easy.  Rudy was outside the castle walls but not too far away.  Close enough to see if someone left the castle without likely being spotted by Gwynn in the castle.  He could hear that ‘have to rest’ lecture in his mind and had no desire to hear it out loud.
