Better watch your step

Enlil stepped back once he heard the demanding voice, flicking his ears back as he caught himself. Though the boy was kind-hearted and sweet, he wouldn’t back down if whomever this other pup {judging by their voice} got into a scuffle with him! Enlil narrowed his little eyes at the stranger in the darkness, a figure who got closer. Enlil readied himself… he’d be prepared. Taking a breath the little wolf waited until the other boy spoke again.

“That’s right!” Enlil barked. His ears lifted and his tail began to wag… trying to be big and strong was too hard. He wanted to have fun! “Sorry if I startled you… I didn’t recognize your scent and well…” He frowned. “Looks pretty dark in there, isn’t it?” He cocked his head to the side, his golden eyes shinning with innocence. “My name is Enlil. What’s your name?”
