Blacktail Deer Plateau he stayed alive to sing songs that murdered life

Sorry, Taliesin offered out of habit when the other wolf looked bothered by his presence. He noticed that the dark male looked fairly young and a little gangly, like one still filling out his frame. Not a man yet, then. A boy, one who smelled of too few others to be a pack wolf.
I'm a traveler, I was hoping one of the locals could tell me more about this area, He continued. He figured that maybe the boy's youthful tendencies would offset his surliness enough to make for a worthwhile conversation. If it turned out to be a lost cause, Taliesin would just find someone else to question. If this boy was any indication, it wouldn't be too difficult to find someone else living around here.
