Alder was not good at many things; he had accepted that truth when he was very young. Though of course it was only in his mind that he lacked talent. When he barreled into the other wolf he wasn't thinking about the gray-coated predator as such, but as the prey he had been acting like. He realized that it was Niro too late, and ran into him with a thud. Alder stepped backwards once he found his footing and looked at the other wolf with apologetic eyes. But he wasn’t mad, and there was a positive tone in his voice. He had done well? Alder smiled, genuinely and wider then most of his timid smirks. Tail waved behind him at the teacher’s praise. Maybe he could do this after all.
The praise was a bit much for the bashful boy, and he lowered his head and felt his cheeks flush with heat. Shaking his head at the others question he answered quietly. I don’t think so. He didn’t think that he would get it on the first try, but maybe his large body was good from something. Thank you Niro. He appreciated the older male’s help greatly, and before this he had thought that he would have to learn all these things on his own. Nodding with a lack of embarrassment Alder followed Niro to enjoy a bit of the hare that his bird had caught. It was a nice reward for the patience and concentration the lesson had taken.
