He blinked at her, a mischievous look in his eyes. A tad bit taunting, it seemed. Her pure excitement was truly a sight for sore eyes. "If you insist." He added on playfully before continuing. "You see, I was doing some hunting farther up north from here. A pretty typical day. Perhaps more windy than others." He shrugged. "I say that because I was catching far more scents than usual. One of them definitely more unique than others. It was like .. a mud-covered, birch sap doused rabbit..? With a twinge of our own kind. Certainly the weirdest thing I’d smelled in — well — my whole life, I suppose."

A trace of confusion still lingered on his face just thinking about it. "I travelled up further to catch a better scent, and you know what I saw?" A brief pause follows the question that didn’t seem to need an answer. He was gonna tell her anyways.

"A wolf. A wolf covered in mud, rabbit fur and sap. To make matters worse, this wolf was head-first dug into a ground-hog burrow." He muffled what seemed like baffled laughter as he struggled to go on. "I swear, it was the weirdest thing I’d seen in my life. So much so that I sat and waited for him to make his way out of the hole.  .. Do you know what he told me when I questioned him on what in the moons name he was doing? — He told me that he was curious about the day-to-day life of a rabbit. That he figured if he covered himself in their scent, they wouldn’t think anything of him being there." 

Oren took in a sharp inhale and shaky breath out, visibly fighting back a hysterical outburst now. "Imagine the face he made when I had to politely inform him that what he was attempting to enter wasn’t even a rabbit burrow? For that matter, he was much too big for a safe and smooth way inside! I mean, what type of plan was that!?"
