Snowforest Taiga you dangle on the leash of your own longing

Snow Language. Nope, didn't ring any bells. Ephraim didn't know who the big snow wolves were, but the mere mention intrigued him. If he had to describe Drageda's wolves, he would call them big warrior wolves; he was certain he and Currituck were speaking of different peoples and he couldn't help wondering what made them snow wolves, or what their culture was like. Was it similar to Drageda's since they were also large? For some reason he couldn't imagine large wolves being anything but warriors, just as he couldn't imagine a pack of smaller wolves being effective at war.

He had a lot to learn about skill versus size and what motivated other wolves; it wasn't always so black and white as fighter or non-fighter.

On the cliffs by the sea, he said, gesturing in a vague direction despite not being sure exactly where the cliffs were. Thuringwethil was leading them. In truth he had no idea where they were or where they were going. Why are they called big snow wolves? Is that their pack name? And whether she could explain it or not, he would bob his head as if he understood completely, if only to mask how little he did know.

Hei means hi, he said, then added, My name is Ephraim. Pause. That means 'my name is Ephraim'.
