A firefly-watching spy?!

The wolf started to speak, but Ru didn’t catch the meeting in his sudden rush at the stranger. He leaped, and grabbed at the other wolf, spitting out the sudden snow and bits of earth that were flung in his direction, “Puh!” he spat, even as he finished his leap and landed on top of the stranger. At first, the wolf beneath him writhed like he was trying to get free, and then he stilled.

Ru paused, looking down at the stranger, and realised he wasnt fighting back. What was Ru supposed to do? He was supposed to fight off intruders, right? Ru opened his mouth to say something, and a firefly landed on his nose. The Abaven boy froze, going cross-eyed as he tried to look at the creature. It made a little buzzing noise, and another firefly appeared. Ru quickly snapped his maw shut, and looked down at the stranger. The firefly still on his nose. “These yours?’ he asked, confused.
