Yeah, how was this going to work? Wolves weren't cats. Spook also didn't own a pair of wings of his own. Would be nice if he could just grow some. Or maybe some claws that could help him climb trees because goddamn it, these stupid birds! It was actually making the rather quiet boy genuinely frustrated. He'd been watching one hop through a bush, barely inching forward. 

But then the bird got bored -- or noticed him, it was hard to tell -- and it flitted off deeper into the forest. Spook's head whipped after it, until the little brown blur melted into the darkness of the trees. He frowned, ears tilting sideways. Okay. New pla-- his gaze had dropped and he spotted a wolf staring at him. His eyes widened, Um. Spook had frozen, not sure if he was actually in danger, and definitely not used to being just watched by some stranger.
