Moonspear there's no one to bother me, except

Cosmo had been going through an active process of learning to be more cautious with his “dog” status around other wolves, so when Kindle had finally reunited with the Katmai he’d heard much about – and of – he gave them space to reconnect.

It was when he was training his nose on his own, practicing differentiating all the different scents he could pick up on from the ground, that he noticed Katmai separated from Kindle, and wow, were they separate in more ways than one, with how dark this wolf’s fur was compared to his… cousin? Brother? What were they again? Some sort of family, which was interesting to Cosmo, considering all of his family looked almost exactly like him. Big, white balls of fluff, maybe with some variations of a slight dusting of tan. Still, similar enough that they were frequently mixed up by humans who couldn’t differentiate by scent.

“Hello!” Cosmo greeted him, trotting up to where he drank at the creek. “I’m Cosmo! I’ve been traveling with Kindle. Katmai, right? I’ve howled with you!”
