Phoenix Maplewood Tree dancing malinois style

For a moment there Nunataq's courage wavered, because, when the guy had stopped laughing about her antics, he got to his feet and proved to be taller than her. She would disagree on the "twice" part, because, where her physical body lacked the height, there her ego made up for it. With this in mind, even if she were to meet an elephant or a blue whale one day, she would consider herself bigger than them, even if it was by half an inch (which proves that egos are great at being super-flexible).

Being a keen observationist (is that a word?) of people, she began to list all the readily available and obvious points about this fellow. If we transcribed it to verbal form, it would look like this at the very moment:

1. Glint of IQ in the eyes - sadly there were far too many people in Nunataq's experience, who just looked smart and made a big fuss of appearing that way, but in reality were nothing but wastepaper baskets. 99% was trash and 1% usually was not worth the effort recovering.

2. Keeps his mouth shut - frankly speaking, convincing the babbling population of wolves every time Nunataq met them, was a tiresome task. So, the fact that he did not waste his words on her was a good thing.

3. Pretty awesome jump, man! But I will never tell you that!

She pursed her lips (I doubt that wolves can do that, but you can get the mental picture of her trying to do that, while thinking), then got to her feet, went over to the same tree, squatted and left a pee mark there. Then she pawed and scratched the snow around it and walked a little distance away to see, what would the guy's response to it be.
