Redhawk Caldera you can make me whole again

The poor kid. Yet again he stalled, and Shrike relaxed his posture, feeling as though he'd never get the kid to partake in something fun. The idea of using another wolf as a springboard was ridiculous, he knew, but it could work. Eljay seemed uncomfortable jumping on Shrike's back, and proposed that Shrike use him as a springboard instead. He tilted his head to the side, sizing the boy up. Would he squish him? Shrike wasn't a big wolf...But there would be a good amount of force exerted- he'd just have to jump lightly. 

"Sure." He said, gesturing for Eljay to stand where he'd been, and he moved back to give himself a bit of room to pick up speed. He chuckled. "I'll try not to flatten you," He said softly but earnestly. He knew he'd hardly try to touch the boy- but if he could get Eljay to do something, he might be inclined to switch positions after. "Holler when ready. And brace yourself good."
