<THUMP> - "OUCH", I rubbed my head and glared at Wolfy. He stood next to me and stared at something, fur bristled, stiff-legged, deep soft growls came out of his throat.

"What's the matter, boy?" Following the direction of his head I saw that he stared at a tree - hm, the tree where Nero crouched. "Did he try something on you?"
One of his heads turned to me, the other was still fixed on Nero.
"OK, I'll have a word with him, don't worry," patting his head and dodging Wolfy's large tongue, I jumped up - only to find myself on the ground again. "Damn blood pressure..."

I stood up again and walked up to the tree calling softly so not to wake the others:

"Hey, Nero, come down - I want a word with you... no need in waking up the others. Let's walk a few steps away from the camp."
Wolfy was right behind me, I pushed him gently away and pointed to the camp fire.

"Nope, you're not invited... be a good boy and take care of the others. Let them sleep, ok? So, keep your tongue and jaws to yourself. Just take care, no one is going to harm them."

Wolfy grunted and resisted my push.

"No, look, this is very easy: Me - master... you - servant, ok? You take care of the others, I will go with Ne..."
<Slurp>
"Bah, Wolfy, alright, you - comrade, you - protect others, I protect you. Now run along and do what I want.."

Trying to keep my dignity with his saliva all over my face I watched Wolfy trot over to the fire and sit down.

"Now for you Nero, come down, please, I'm going over to that little cove. I want to know what's going on."

I turned around and started walking over to the place I had pointed to, dragging my satchel after me... one never knows when it might come handy, wiping Wolfy's opinion of our relationship off my face.

Then I dropped dead in my steps: What a vast destruction! An open strip lay before me, as if a large bulldozer had moved its way through the wood Bulldozer? What's a bulldozer? I thought, scratching my head - I shrugged my shoulders, probably some giant race, not important.
I turned around, arms crossed, foot tapping the ground impatiently and waiting for Mr-Jump-On-Trees to join me.
