Please don't ever change

In this momentary lapse of stress, Ulric tried to let himself enjoy the mild fall weather as he lazily walked through the Range as his mother had called it. For most of his life he had stayed within the borders of what used to be their pack so he was far less well traveled than his sister. If he made himself stop thinking about the fact that they didn’t have a real home and his father was gone he could almost be excited about the idea of traveling around with his family and getting to see some of the world.
He paused for a moment by the fence that he was walking along and looked back over his shoulder, a slight grin touching his muzzle as an idea crossed his mind. Why couldn’t he be excited about that? For the first time since they were small pups he was with his sister and they were free to do whatever they wanted… Well, within reason. He didn’t want to put any extra stress on their mother of course.
Ulric turned and trotted back the way he came until he caught a hint of Philly’s scent on the grass. He crouched a bit lower to the ground and started tracking her scent like he would if he was following the scent of a deer. Soon enough he saw her up ahead and he tried to get down as low as he could. It was hard for such a large wolf to hide like this, but he only needed to hide for a moment. He edged around to stay behind her as he crept up behind her, hoping that the wind didn’t change before he got close enough.
As soon as he was within jumping range Ulric leapt up behind her, grinning as he did so. “Ah hah!” he shouted, hoping to nudge her back with his forepaws before he bounced back out of her range. He dropped down into a play crouch with his tail wagging in the air. For the first time in a long time he actually felt his age and he had to admit that it was fun acting like a yearling.
