Bazi's face remained impassive. She was not so easily cajoled by humour, and was about to make her excuses and leave Fang to his stink when he actually answered her question.

"Not entirely pure wolf?" she repeated incredulously, staring at Fang's coat. The differences were subtle, and the expectation had been that he hailed from some far-away place in the north or south - an island, perhaps. Bazi was still adjusting to the high proportion of non-Arctic wolves in the area, and to hear that some wolves weren't even real wolves made her long for home for the first time in an age.

"What are you, then?" she demanded in the instant before her eyes widened in shock. "... coyote?" Surely not.
