Put 'em up

Kione had been curious for a while now what it was like to fight a wolf.  Sure, they were a different species but still canid and clearly smarter than the non-canids across the land. The painted dog loved a good fight and killing larger predators but a wolf was another matter.  He’d had some fun with a number of them but it would still be fun to see who was stronger.

Imagine his luck when he actually heard a wolf calling to challenge any other wolves in the area.  Kione was no wolf but perhaps he was close enough to suit the ladies purpose. Kione sauntered up to where the wolf waited, brows raising in surprise at the snake and lizard with her. “Hello Luv,” he greeted the interesting wolf in a friendly manner.  “Been wanderin’ about a scuffle with a wolf.  Fear I’m probably not what you were hoping to see, but maybe I’ll still work?”

Kione nodded at her general direction, “I don’t want to hurt your friends though.  You plan to fight with them?” Kione seemed confused at the notion of fighting with the lizzards.  He did enjoy fighting with partners but only other intelligent canids, it seemed strange to use such animals.
