Kansas knew about the humans, the things they'd left behind. The existence of the buildings Geneva spoke of wasn't news to him, but the fact that she'd lived in them and enjoyed it surely was. In his books, humans had lived only indoors unless something was terribly amiss. But he'd grown up outside, subject to the harshness of the elements and wildlife - he'd thought it was normal. Though he lived in the house, he'd rather be outside its walls. He assumed all wolves preferred this, but he'd learned some time ago that assumptions were often very wrong.
He listened with interest, curiosity written upon his pale face. What she was saying was surprising, but when he thought about it, he didn't consider it strange. Kansas had never traveled far. For all he knew, other ways of life were more common than his. There was a lot he didn't know, things all the books in the world wouldn't teach him. He nodded, speaking softly when her voice had died down. "That's a lot of... change. Do you miss it? If you don't... don't mind my asking."
