Uly chuckles back. “That’s a tale for the road.” The wolf dog smirks at the others reply back then frowns at the mention of him tearing something in his shoulder. “That’s no good.” He mumbles then looking around absentmindedly, eyes landing on their shared meal. “We need to hide the food too. I’ll be pissed if someone steals it.”
Uly smirks back to his companion. “I’d have to find them, then I’d have to kill them.” He jokes with a light tone to his voice that says he’s not really joking at all. “That’d be a shame.” He adds spitefully, a ghostly look in his already misty eyes says he’s really not joking.
He looks around at the trees surrounding him. If one is short enough he might be able to jump into it and hide their food there. Then finally he sees the perfect one merely a few meters away. A nicely sized rock sits adjacent to it and a thick limb angles towards the ground low enough he can jump to.
“Perfect.” He mumbles and grabs their meal by the base of the neck and trots over to the rock. He struggles to jump on top of the rock with the deer in his mouth, mainly due to it getting in his way. It embarrassingly takes him a few tries and a few awkward smiles back to his new friend as a way to say ‘I got this.’ Before he finally jumps atop the rock and reaches a meaty paw out to place it on the tree branch to test it’s strength. Deeming it worthy to hold his weight he steps carefully onto the limb and tries his best to walk up towards the trunk, seeing another good spot he’d be able to hang the deer. It was slow and tantalizing but he makes it there. He walks his front paws up the trunk to lie the deer onto another thick limb a little further up the tree.
Now the hard part: getting down. Uly decides to just make it easy on himself and jump from the limb of the tree. Though it’s not really too easy. He jumps and doesn’t seem to be able to land it. He thumps against the loamy earth and rolls, coming to his paws and shaking himself off dizzily.
He chuckles, “Not too good at climbing it seems.” He says walking back towards him and stops just in front. “Now let’s get you to some water, friend.” He lilts in his thick accent with a genuine smile. “Just climb up, I’ll carry you. It’ll be faster and you won’t strain your shoulder.” The massive wolf says it like it’d be easy to just climb on him.
