Toil and Trouble

The little black wolf poked out her nose, and the pup was rather surprised to realise she was about his height. He was still growing, and his paws were bigger than hers, but their height was about equal.

The damage was already done, right? “I’m Mortis, I heard you’s was new here and wanted to say hi” he explained brightly. “Uhh…. so, what do you like? Do you like to play games, or hunt?”
