[QUOTE="Richards, post: 2610725, member: 508"] We take off in a kind of wolf-trot, covering mile after mile in what seems like no time at all.[b][9][/b] To me, everything looks pretty much the same, snow covered everywhere, but these wolves seem to know where they're going. And sure enough, before too long, we're "home." Home is a pretty good-sized cave in the side of an ice cliff. I've heard that sometimes regular wolves make their dens in a hollow tree trunk, but somehow I kinda doubt that that would apply to winter wolves. I mean, it'd have to be a bloody big tree, wouldn't it? Waiting inside is another wolf, a she-wolf. She's lying on her side, and the leader walks up to her, no kidding, and barfs on the floor of the cave right in front of her. I'm thinking, oh [i]that[/i] was nice, but then I get a bigger shock when the she-wolf starts lapping it up.[b][10][/b] I'm just about ready to heave up my own meal watching that particular display, but somehow I manage to keep it down. Must be nice, I think, having the wolf equivalent of breakfast in bed, but then I see why she wasn't out hunting with the others - she had to stay home with the kids. There's three little cubs lying by her,[b][11][/b] and it looks like they fell asleep while she was nursing them. Cute little things. Kinda remind me of a puppy I had when I was a kid. He was a real cutie, too - 'til I broke his neck after he nipped at me. Damn pup. The female gets up and gives me the once-over, and not just by looking, neither - I get the sniff treatment, too. Kinda makes me feel uncomfortable, but it seems to be pretty normal for around here, so I stay still and try to ignore it. The leader, he starts to talk to her in wolf-talk while she finishes her meal, and the way they keep looking over at me, I figure they're talking about me. 'Course, I can't understand a word of it, but I figure it's something like, "Hey, this new guy, he don't say much, but he's one hell of a fighter. Killed a bear-monster all by himself, he did, before we even got to it." Least, I hope it's something like that. My luck, it's probably something like "Let's wait 'til he falls asleep, and then we'll get him. I don't trust him." I don't sleep too well that night. [/QUOTE]
