It was odd to hear a wolf use his full name, though he always introduced himself that way not many used it, preferring to call him Ferdie instead. In his younger days that bothered him, but he had long since learned to accept the shorter version of his name, and usually unless a wolf was making fun of him or intentionally trying to piss him off they never used his name correctly twice.

Ferdie was truly a kind wolf at heart with a clear favor toward pups, but while on 'his' mountain he was all business when it came to greeting other wolves and keeping the peace in the pack, so a chance meeting outside of 'home' was welcome.
