Tal shook his head head emphatically to illustrate his disagreement and stated rather frankly "He no rawwit." The boy KNEW that the rabbit comment was a joke, but it made him feel dumb that he was being babied; he honestly wondered what the wolf meant. Slowing his pace he came alongside Umbra and directly asked him, with no ifs ands nor buts "What are you then?"
The question seemed so simple, but the boy had no clue what it could possibly mean, or what the connotations of the answer were. He didn't realize that normal wolves couldn't transform, his whole family were luprici, and so transforming WAS normal. To him, had he known any, non-transforming wolves would be the freaks! Not that he at all thought about any of that, nor did he think about how rude his question might be, or how he might not like the answer.
