He had had limited exposure to wolves, the species which contributed to the other half of his DNA. Even so, he did not like what he had seen of them so far. Because of his thin build and long features, it was easier for the boy to identify as a coyote. But he could see limit of himself or the qualities he wanted to grow into exhibited by wolves. The first wolf he had really seen in his living memory, aside from his parent, had been the one that the clan had hunted down and killed. The male had displayed not only foolhardy, but disrespectful behaviors. Xeris had been willful and strange as well.
His mouth twisted into a grimace as he thought this over. He hated to think that part of his genetics could possibly affect his inherent thoughts and actions. His brow furrowed, the boy looked up at the woman in worry. "Are all wolves so...so..." He could not find the proper word. Strange, foolish, confounding? Maybe Kaena would know.
