WC:408 OOC: He’s not such a nice wolf when he’s being criticized Tongue

------

Niro put on a hard face when she scoffed at him. He was uncomfortable as it was and her speaking to him like this was not making it any better. He remained quiet as she scolded him, but he made no move and spoke not a word. He’d grown up to the human way of life, at least the Nomad way. He would have become as feral as the next wolf if it wasn’t for his sister and it made him question… is it really that bad learning human things? He knew his restrictions. He knew when to stop and when to start unlike they did. He knew how to be kind to the land as it was to him. He turned to Gregor and sighed. He knew Marahute would follow him to the ends of the earth, and that was enough, even if he was an egg snatched, either she or one of her other siblings would have died anyway. That was the life of a golden eagle chick. There had been three eggs in the nest so he did not feel too bad for taking one… but to take Gregor and Tobias’ freedom… His hand reached over and untethered the eagle from his. He however did not insist the bald eagle leave him. He was a wolf and wolves did not treat other creatures like their possessions. His eyes turned to her as she spoke abut why she was up in the trees.

“And you speak of not being a wolf? I was never truly aware wolves climbed and acted like monkeys?”

He couldn’t help it. He had to have a retort of his own. She just gave him the perfect opportunity. He had his eyes still on the bald eagle who was still perched upon his arm, but he turned to her as it registered what she was doing.

“A hawk? Well you would have better luck catching a beetle asleep in a tree than catching a hawk from limb leaping.”

Yes Niro had tried that once, only half heartedly, and it was to a kite in florida, which he’d seen gliding in the swampy forest he’d once called home. He knew he couldn’t take care of it if he did catch it so he just chased it. What was she doing trying to chase after a red tail, which was as fast if not faster?
