A stranger? Oh Dear
Rue

The pangolin’s long, very longue tongue came out and it seemed as if the ant was glued to it as he sucked it back in. As she spoke Pan turned his head to look at her, standing up straighter, front clawed hands turned into fists to keep the claws tucked in best it could. Pan truly was quiet and didn’t utter any noise but after a few seconds he raised up one of his arms and gave a wavy clawed greeting.
Pan’s tongue came out again when she offered the grub, dragging the unwilling creature into its mouth. It didn’t seem to be in a hurry to do anything fast but after another thoughtful look at Rue it came to a decision and instead of climbing down the tree it just used hier head. The claws were again rolled back so that he was his knuckles on her forehead and then the back legs. The tail wrapped about her neck for balance as he dangled his way from there to a leg and then the ground.
It was about this time Naiche came into view. His head had been down sniffing at a root and something hidden within but jerked up noticing another wolf and Pan. “Who are you? Pan what are you doing,” extra emphasis added to the key word ‘are’. The thing just wanted to be friendly with any wolf it seemed. So much for loyalty.
The little armored creature glanced and waved at Naiche before moving to the rotten tree Rue had found, clawed hands ripped a bigger hole in the rotted thing, the tongue snaking out to trap all manner of grubs on it and pulled them back into its mouth.
Naiche saw Pan eating out of the corner of his eye but the rest of his attention was solely focused on Rue.
