Blackfeather Woods A heart for the wild

Akela couldn't help but grin. A kid was a kid and he might be the big bad wolf for other people, he still had a good heart nonetheless.  "And you used that to get out and be all tough on your own, didn't you ? " he spoke and allowed himself to just be softer for a minute or two.  "You do not need to fear me little one, I'm Akela , you and I are in the same pack, do you understand?"  he spoke softly and lowered himself to be more at her eye level.  "Quite the hiding spot you got there, nice work, little missy. "  he praised her. She was cute , he could not deny it, and still very young. At least she could communicate. "Have you found anything interesting on your adventure ?" he asked being as serious as you could be in such a situation.

He was not forgetting that danger could be anyway, and he would bring the young one safely back home, but first, he needed to show her that he was not a danger to her, that she could trust him.
