[Pod is watching, and she's learned a little more about reading wolves lately--with the help of playing charades and twenty questions with a pack, to find out what they wanted of her--so she sees that pleased puff in response to her comment, and laughs again. Definitely no mere wolf. If it wasn't for the strange markings she might think this one another brother-in-fur like Kiga. That and her magic feels especially warm in her chest right now, like it might be reacting a little to something about the wolf.

And her dinner will keep for a little while, so Pod spends some time giving pets and ear-scritches to both of them. She knows the best spots, oh yes, out of long practice.

Kiga is mollified by the attention, because he knows his person would never choose a wolf over him, and croons happily.]
