The wolfdog had wanted to say something - anything - but then another wolf appeared from nowhere. This one didn't speak nearly as much as Milton had but Ulf was still overwhelmed from the first encounter.

His jaws parted to speak but all that escaped him was a gentle whine as a look of embarrassment overcame his masked features.
