He tended to put himself down more often than some his age did, but he did feel pride, and perhaps this would swell to make him a more stable and confident wolf than anyone in his family expected. He envied the girl he was following at the moment – she was so… smooth; he couldn’t think of any other word that properly described her. And kind, and pretty… he could go on and on.
