Faolan had woken with plans to follow the expedition into the forest [it had worked so well during the beanstalk expedition, after all]. However, he woke with the urge to scratch his skin off, which reminded him that it was a full moon [not that he'd forgotten, really, he just wanted to play with everyone]. As this was a new place, he thought it would be best if people didn't see him change. This meant being in wolf form all day. Not really a problem, then.


A half-grown puppy may be found chasing squirrels and birds, running around town, rolling in the grass, chasing his own tail, sitting and looking at the bulletin board, or watching forlornly as Sif and co. leave for the forest. It is very simple to get his attention, and he'd love to play with all of you!

Gretel squealed out at what she preceived was an attack, falling on her back. She was surprised at the licking that followed instead of teeth, and blinked up at Faolon owlishly. This might have been the first time she'd been truly caught off guard since being here.

[greatsquirrelhunter]

See? Faolan would win! He laid his head against her arm, paws almost as if hugging her.

[halfwitch]

Gretel stared up to the sky for a moment, one hand reaching up to pat Faolon on the back as she tried to gather her wits again. She tried to sit up, not bothering to move the puppy off of her.

[greatsquirrelhunter]

That was perfectly all right, as he shifted to be more in her lap than on top of her. Up close, she could see what seemed to be a bit of metal on a piece of string around his neck, indicating that he might not be as wild as she had first thought.

He cocked his head at her and wagged his tail, hoping she would play.

[halfwitch]

She did notice the metal, eyebrows raising at the thought of someone keeping a wolf as a pet. Gretel watched his wagging tail, cocked head, and puppy mannerisms and her smile grew. She always had been more of a dog person than a cat person, and a wolf was close enough.

"You're wanting to play, boy?"

[greatsquirrelhunter]

Yes! Yes! His tail wagged harder and his ears perked up.

He barked once for good measure, tongue lolling out.

[halfwitch]

Gretel gave a gentle push to detach Faolon from her person, looking around for something to use as a toy. She picked up a twig, waving it. "Dogs like fetch, right?"

[greatsquirrelhunter]

Fetch? You mean chasing after things? She wanted to let him chase things?

He bounded around her, barking happily.

[halfwitch]

"Okay, okay." She laughed, winding her arm back and throwing the stick as far as she could. It went high, somersaulting through the air.

[greatsquirrelhunter]

He ran after it, eyes on the stick as it lazily spun through the air. Muscles momentarily bunching under him, he gave a leap, catching the stick in his mouth, and landed lightly on his feet. It was so much easier to do that as a wolf.

He trotted back to Gretel, ears perked, grinning a puppy grin.

[halfwitch]

"You're pretty good." She said, reaching down to grab the stick and scratch Faolon's ears. "Someone must play with you a lot."

[greatsquirrelhunter]

Oh yes. Ear scratching and a compliment. His eyes closed in bliss.

After a moment they opened again and his tail wagged. He barked a few times, agreeing. Hawk played with him all the time! And they went hunting! And wrestled! And it was fun!

[halfwitch]

Gretel bit back a giggle, something she had rarely had the need to do. She patted him once more, reaching back for the stick. "Again?"

[greatsquirrelhunter]

Yes! Again! He bounced around her, barking excitedly.

[halfwitch]

"Alright." She tossed the stick again, this time putting more force into it. "Go on now!"

[greatsquirrelhunter]

After giving a last bound around Gretel, Faolan raced for the stick, leaping and catching it in the air.

He looked back at her, wagged his tail, and darted away, hoping she would chase.

[halfwitch]

She bit back a laugh at the puppy's antics, watching it for a moment before checking to make sure all items on her person were secure and taking off after Faolan. She gabbed handfuls of her dress, raising the skirts up to her knees to run after the wold faster, trying not to trip over uneven ground. "Don't go too fast!"

[greatsquirrelhunter]

Faolan huffed a laugh, moving with exaggerated slowness so she could catch up before dashing ahead. He paused, tail wagging while he waited, then continued to lead her.

[halfwitch]

Gretel's smile widened at that, trying to pick up the pace to reach him. She paused to catch her breath. " You're really energetic."

[greatsquirrelhunter]

Faolan trotted back to her side, tail wagging. He was indeed quite energetic and he knew it. He dropped the stick at her feet and gave her kisses.

[halfwitch]

She reached out to scratch his ears again, squirming from the wet kisses. "You're a nice puppy. A lot nicer than other animals around here."

[greatsquirrelhunter]

Faolan frolicked around her, pleased at the compliment. He hadn't had a sister in a long time and liked the idea that she could be one.

[The fact that he hadn't seen her as a human and she might be confused by it hadn't yet occurred to him.]

[halfwitch]

[That likely will cause quite a stir for them.]

"Who owns you, I wonder?" She asked aloud. If it was someone nice enough, or if they at least let the wolf run free often, she was tempted to come back and play.

[greatsquirrelhunter]

Faolan slowed on hearing the question. He looked around and changed course to head back to the smithy.

[halfwitch]

"Where are you going?" Gretel asked. But she followed after him anyway.
