Tell me about it

Kione had taken some time rolling on the ground, mouthed the ancient bone, then ended up laying his head on it with a huff.  One problem of being alone was boredom when you got done walking.  A roar was heard and Kione raised his head up swiftly, huge ears straining for the location of the sound.  Almost right after the roar came a call for help and Kione rolled up the rest of the way to his feet, running in the direction of the racket.

It was a wolf but, at this point, he was getting used to the fact that wolves were scattered all over the land.  He had no ties with wolves nor any necessary responsibility to help one in trouble.  Kione was bored and there was really no reason to not help a strange wolf.  Kione enjoyed a good fight so why would he ignore a request for someone to help?

The bear and concerned wolf came into sight. The African wild dog with its long slender legs, overly large ears, short coat, and an abstract pattern of orange, whites, and blacks.  The bear was fully focused on the wolf so it was easy for Kione to charge up from behind and literally leap onto the bear's back.  Kione’s feet were planted on the back and his teeth gripped into the muscular neck, thrashing his head all about.  

He certainly got all of the bear's attention.  The animal rose up standing up tall and pissed.  Kione ripped off a bit of flesh from its neck as the painted dog landed on the ground with a prance.  As the bear looked at Kione he swallowed that small patch of flesh and made a point of licking blood from his muzzle.  Kione grinned as he had to lick the blood while running as the bear charged him.  It might seem crazy but Kione was grinning as he ran.

“Will you be joining in lass?” The call to her is cheerily called out even as he suddenly lunges into an opposite direction as the bear strikes out at him.  “They die a lot faster when,” another pause as he swerves and speeds up several strides when the bear starts to catch up.  “Oh bugger off, I’ll kill you in a bit!” Hollered at the bear.  It was making it rather hard to have a conversation.
