Rudyard was excited he'd gotten mom to take him out to explore in the trees. The motley grey pup was going to work on his hunting skills. It was vastly important he became the best he could be which would surely exceed greatness. He'd asked mom to let him try hunting alone so she wasn't right next to him, but he knew she was nearby and could see her farther back. The scent of his familiar prey target was nearby. Rabbit! Forcing his tail to quit wagging he paused in the stride he'd been about to take and like a checklist being checked off he stopped his tail from wagging first, focused on where the wind was to shift his positioning, then looked to the ground, snuffed the air again and headed for the scent. After a short distance, he sniffed something else and then saw motion. Another wolf! The notion of sneaking up on them was one of his first thoughts, a slow glance back to where he was sure mom waited had him exhale the excitement he had felt at the idea of sneaking up on a stranger. Mom wouldn't like it. He kept to where he was, sniffing the air again and her scent. The realization came a moment later this wolf was probably from the armada! That would make the most sense since they were close. Wagging his tail at the thought, but still not running out to the wolf he didn't know he called out, "Hey, who are you? You're from the armada I bet, right?" See, he sounded smart guessing where they were from probably. "Rudyard"
