Say It Ain't So

Rob was slightly startled that he'd forgotten to ask a question. "Oh — that's right. Sorry." He hmm'd for a moment before his eyes lit up.

"Okaayyy, Osprey, my dear. If you could be any real animal, except a wolf, what would you be?" He jumped to the side in a playful manner, examining the female's face before him. Rob wanted to see what her answer would be. He himself would probably choose a bear of some sort, something that no other animal would want to take on. He could explore the world in peace and scratch his back against trees, even catch salmon more easily. The brown wolf's stomach growled in response to the last thought.
