Morning

He gazed at her with excitement. She was going to teach him hunting and fighting and everything else he needed to learn to become a wolf! He'd leap to his paws and run tight circles, yipping as he did so. "Yippee! I get to hunt and, and fight! And I bet I have the best teacher in the world for that!" He'd stop, body swaying momentarily from dizziness as he stared up at her, tail wagging fervently. Usually he was alot more calm and collected, but today his paws itched to do something he'd never done before. He wished his dad could be here to teach him too, but his father seemed to be busy elsewhere. Nevertheless, he had his mother and he knew she'd be a great teacher!

"Can we start now?" He began to wonder what he wanted to learn first. There were so many things! Hunting? Fighting? Tracking? Navigating? How to tell what food was good and what food was bad? His mind reeled with different things, and he began to feel overwhelmed. He didn't know what he wanted to learn first...though he figured he should learn something important. "I wanna learn how to protect myself...just in case I'm alone again. I want to protect myself from bigger wolves, momma." That was definitely what he wanted to learn first. Shiki was such a tiny thing, no where near as big as his dad had been. And frankly, he wasn't even sure he could protect himself. But he would try his best, with Pamela as his teacher he felt he could prevail!
