Overture Downs in the arms of the strangler

I'm going to make sure there are no dead bodies ahead, He'd told @Phillip, maybe a little too bluntly. I don't want you to pass out again. For once, it's the truth; he'd hated how scared and vulnerable he'd felt in that moment, and he is not eager to repeat it. There is a protective streak in him, too, though he refuses to acknowledge it even to himself. It's easier to chalk it up to selfishness and leave it at that.
He doesn't find a dead body, fortunately. He does find a live body, unfortunately. Why are you sitting down here? He demands as he approaches the earth-colored wolf from behind, immediately irritated by what seems like stupidity to him. You can't see anything here. Someone could come over the hill and kill you.
