I Want To Thank You

Shay's passage over the land was marked with stumbled pauses, where he would shake his head roughly, reorient himself, and move along again. He had left the volcano after the storm, deciding it to be too dangerous to continue there. His caution came too late, however, as the unexpected eruption had left it's permanent mark. His right ear had never healed properly - likely debris had damaged the inner workings of the ear far more than a simple ruptured eardrum could account for. He was completely deaf in that ear, and he often found himself unbalanced now. He was slowly learning to compensate for the handicap, though, and he expected to be functioning at close to his old self again shortly.

Another pause, another shake of his head, but this time Shay didn't move on again. Something had caught his interest - there, beneath a willow tree, the outline of another wolf. Shay was not the sort of wolf who needed to be around other wolves, but rare was the time he did not indulge his curiosity if he did happen upon one. What could he learn from this encounter? What could he take away from it that may assist him in the only real meaning life had - survival?

So Shay ghosted up to the tree, making no effort to hide himself but silent by nature. "Hello," he spoke simply to the wolf. An all-purpose greeting, hello. Informal enough to make a wolf relaxed, formal enough to not put them off. It seemed the most efficient choice in this case.
