Éldi smirked at the man's comment on the weather. He could tell at first that he hadn't recognized him but he soon did. Éldi was more embarrassed that it took him a few seconds to recognize such a uniquely colored man as the one standing before him. As for himself, Éldi had a pretty plain earthen coat. There were thousands of wolves with earthen coats.
"Everything's healed as well as it could. Still a bit sore in a few places but nothing that will hinder me. I'm sorry, but I don't remember if we ever introduced ourselves. My name is Éldi."
A sudden, piercing cry cut through the chill air followed by a number of similar cries. Ah shit! "Coyotes!" he growled. Éldi had little love for the scavengers. They tended to harass him at kills and when there was more than one it became a real headache to defend ones hard earned meal. Dark forms seemed to melt into view, the veil of snow parting to reveal a pack of four coyotes. Two mated pairs? They were thin, starving, and clearly desperate. They began to growl then one dived at Éldi. He seized it's scruff and began to shake it wildly as it snapped at his chest. Then another pounced on him from behind, seizing his left butt cheek. He kicked back violently with his right leg. The coyote caught the blow in the chest and fell back.
