The dumb creature looked at him dumbly, as a dumb bull would. In all honesty, Dawali did understand why Liliana found them a bit annoying - but they were walking dinner, and in a way they could create it like they did with the crops. Dinner walking around waiting to be eaten was always a good thing to keep, Dawali had thought. As long as they could sustain them, they did not need fear winter in the least. He did so much admire the Utina femme for her ability to tend all those different animals, perhaps especially those as dumb as this one. The dumber the animal, wolf included, the more difficult to sway. And yet, with its tangled fur and moist nostrils, the beast was still an impressive sight. Dawali gazed at him in wonder.
Still, dumb or not, it was a strangely relaxing thing to stand close to it and study it. It served absolutely no purpose, and yet he was compelled to do so. Dawali did not fear it, despite its size. He could dart away so quickly in this form, and the bull knew him. The red wolf nodded as if in response to the bull's sound. "I know, I know." Ah, if Gvihita had seen him now, talking to a bull - how sharp her words would have been. The delight she would have taken in it would shine from her gaze, but she was no longer following him. That is, she was around, but after this form had been thrust upon him, she had kept to herself much more - Dawali interpreted it as disgust and disappointment, and it only mirrored his own feelings. "Everything is different now, you know," he continued. Seriously - speaking to dinner? He almost shook his head at himself.
