more to me

“O-oh..I s-see.” He muttered, already feeling an awkward silence growing between them, but that seemed to happen quite a lot to him. He supposed a more social wolf would have invited the man to join him on some sort of task, but all he wanted was to go back to his den and show Echo off to Natiel. He licked his nose nervously as he struggled to think of something to keep the conversation going but coming up short. Dear Yosep, say something! his mind roared but ultimately it only made him feel more nervous. Echo, sensing his friend’s growing discomfort, rubbed his bill against the base of the mottled wolf’s ear. “Relax.” He said quietly, attempting to soothe the panicking wolf.

“D-do you a-always t-t-t-travel a-a-alone?” He asked, screwing his eyes shut as he spoke and opening them as he finished. That was a good question He told himself, although the voice in his mind had been Echo’s and not his own. Looking the silver wolf over it wasn’t hard to believe that such a large creature could survive entirely on his own. Spider on the other hand relied almost entirely on Natiel for food and protection. He supposed he should feel ashamed that a fully-grown male needed the help of a female, especially one who he had no intention of keeping as a lover, but it had been that way for quite some time. It was a structure for him that had changed only recently for him after the death of his sister, and now he had returned to it with a close friend.
