Redsand Canyon once upon a younger year

Hide was saved by an angel who seemed to be fussing at his assailant. Someone was brave enough to talk to Donovan like that? That was absolutely incredible. Even moreso that Donovan listened, dragging him back to solid earth. Hide settled down, still trembling, and inwardly cringed as the massive wolf settled over him. 

He didn't want to touch him like that. Like they were close or something. 

"Oh, yeah. Such a good time," he wheezed, blind eyes round and chest heaving. He wanted to turn his attention to the stranger, but he couldn't manage. "Can... I ask a question or are you gonna hang me over the edge again?" It was risky to ask, but he had to get it over with.
