No time like the present

He waited a moment, but clearly no answers were forthcoming. After a moment, he followed after the serious looking wolf. Falling into a trot to catch up with them.

Taking a deep breath, he leaned back, and then rocked forward. Assuming that if he was fast enough to barely touch the planks, his momentum would carry him forward.
