[He was curious, now. This was a new concept to him and he wanted to see how much the Outsider would tell him about himself and his world. He wanted to learn.
The wolves backed up as the fire grew, wary of it still. At least they were until one of the females decided to trot closer and nose around the edge of the cleared ground where snow no longer was. She gave the Outsider a wide berth, but after a second of hovering moved around to where Wan was and started sniffing at his thin bedding. Wan absently reached out and rested his hand to the side of the wolf's head before turning it over and starting to scratch at her ears. The wolf, for her part, gave him a cursory nudge with her nose before accepting the action and curling up to lay down next to him.
He was warm and not a threat and that went a long way as the rest of the pack started to follow suit at a much slower pace.]
