The creature turned out to be a wolf, go figure. They had the same shrewd features of the queen and her sisters, which made Tye immediately wonder if every beast upon this mountain was swathed in dark furs and animosity; but he did not feel the same intimidation from this boy as he had from the other adults - perhaps due to his age and his size.
It helped that Tye was in good spirits; his hunt having left him warm-bellied and pleased with himself, even if he was still haggard and thin from many days of starvation. He was not so eager to give in to this boy's desires, and without even thinking, he took a step that appeared possessive of the carcass. One spidering limb drifted forward and he planted his paw a little ahead of the dead squirrel, his thin body looming over it.
His tail remained low - it was more habit than anything now - but his ears pivoted forwards and surprisingly, he stared at the boy with a daring sense of challenge. Mine! Tye's posture was saying, choosing to ignore his social position in the heat of the moment. No adults were around to force the issue.
