This wolf appeared to have many layers under his tough appearance, and she was glad he was letting her in. With that in mind, she chanced digging a little deeper and asking, "Can I ask why you all left your home? Is it somehow tied to the wound your father gave you?" She followed her question with a compassionate gaze, hoping he wouldn't think her intrusive.
