Be the spotlight on the lonley stage

sorry I'm a dick

Koda had not faced much danger in his young life. He had only traveled alone for a short time, and during his journey the only danger had come about from his own carelessness, when he tried to eat a porcupine. Yet because of his gender, he thought he knew better than this she-wolf. And in his mind, there was no way she could have survived a stampede.

He did not voice his doubts out loud, however. He'd learned to keep his mouth shut after his little outburst. "You're lucky to have made it out alive," he said. If her story was true, it was a miracle she'd lived to tell the tale. He'd never witnessed a stampede, but his grandfather had often told young Koda about the deadly stampede that had killed off many of his comrades during a hunt. It was a story that always inspired terrible nightmares, no matter how many times it was retold.

Koda had another question for Osprey. "Have you ever had to fight another wolf?" He asked her. This was a threat that seemed much more real to him. There were a lot of creeps roaming around that would love to chance upon a woman traveling on her own.
