Naiche’s nose once again alerted him before sight or sound. He knew Az’s scent quite well as their first meeting had left a definite impression in his mind. It had worked out in the end but it had a few tense moments in it. He stopped in mid-lunge at the dummy and turned his head as he spotted Az.
Considering Naiche had been hoping to see the guy he should have been glad that the giant had shown up. Logic can label it a good thing but that didn’t mean his mindset had to agree. He still remembered how Az had appeared to want to rip his head off at their last meeting. Swallow pride, swallow pride, swallow pride. Naiche hated having to tell himself those lines.
“Azure,” he turned to face the wolf, “I was hoping to find you.” He took about two seconds pause expecting to that to surprise the giant. “I want to work more on fighting oversized wolves. I thought it would be fun you and I to have it out.” Naiche suddenly found a grin in him, it wasn’t about whether he liked the guy now, it was about the challenge. “How about it? You seem like the sort who would enjoy a good fight right?”
They both knew who had the better odds and that was fine. Naiche liked the odds, the greater the challenge the more he learned. How sweet the victory would be if he managed to win anyway. At the end of it all, maybe he’d find a reason to think of the guy as something more than a jerk. Unfortunately, he was going to potentially be a leader of the pack someday.
