Frostfire Ridge Alone on that Mountain

As far as Weetzie was concerned, the encounter had gone well. He was too socially inept to notice the gradual change in the wolf’s demeanor, and she didn’t attack him or threaten him, so how bad could it be? “It was a pleasure to meet you, Celephais,” he said after she told him her name. Although he wasn’t initially thrilled about socializing with her, he found her company pleasant, not to mention that she reminded him of his sister and even offered to help find her.

“Your assistance is appreciated,” he said again as she left. “I wish you well. Perhaps if our paths cross in the future, we could socialize again.” He had no idea that he had frightened her, and he certainly didn’t consider himself a potential threat, given his small size and mediocre fighting skills. He continued traveling southward along the ridge in silence.
