Brrrrrrr, Dragomir reproached the stream, which responded with a quiet ploplop of water bubbling over stones. It wasn't in him to be nasty, but he shot a frown at the surface nonetheless, then visibly jumped when it spoke to him. Large ears swung apprehensively forward as the boy twitched his nose toward the water. Wa da? he asked it, tail stirring in a hesitant wag. But it had no forthcoming reply and eventually he turned around, only to jump again when he noticed Kazimir.

He failed to draw a connection between the voice and the wolf, so he didn't think to reiterate his question to her. Instead, when his heart rate settled, he cautiously asked in childishly lilted Romanian, what is? By which he meant Kazimir's name, his new favourite subject, which he "clarified" moments later by adding, Is Dragooo!
