Welcome to Gaia! ::

*Still interested in this black thing that had his legs, he followed it back toward Yuri, sniffing at it as he moved. This thing puzzled him and seemed to be made of cloth but cloth didn't stretch like that. It wouldn't take long before the wolf was very close to Yuri, who was quicking becoming a very interesting person. All the while, the wolf's tail was wagging at the newly discovered stuff. This is ofcourse assuming Yuri's cape doesn't start restricting movement much more.*

*With his movement unrestricted, the wolf continued to follow the cloak and reached Yuri. There wasn't any hesitation as the wolf begain to sniff at the man with the stretchy cloak, paying alittle more attention to the moving parts of the cloak. Along with trying to figure out what this new person was, the wolf was also trying to figure out who Yuri had been around and where he had come from.*

Having travelled up until recently, there would be little of any distinguishable scent on Yuri for the wolf to find. He might smell Eecheb from earlier or some more natural scents, but mostly only Yuri's scent was there. Yuri wondered if the wolf could tell he was vampiric, having been turned by Tyrsais only recently, simply through scent. He allowed the wolf to sniff him directly, not flinching or recoiling at all from the oversized wolf...

Yuri on the other hand had little experience dealing with others himself, only his memories of his recent journey providing any background on how to deal with others. As the wolf licked him, he hesitated for a moment, a small trail of saliva sticking to him as he stood there. Finally he reached out slowly and patted the wolf on the head as you might a friendly dog. Other than that he continued to watch, wondering how the wolf would react to being touched...

*Eecheb was still making his way around the tower at this point and was most of the way around. He'd probably be visible again within a few seconds. Hopefully the wolf wouldn't try to pounce him, as he'd now be facing the direction Eecheb was coming from. If only Yuri could hold the wolf's attention just a little longer--*

*The wolf watched Yuri until he heard Eecheb. Looking in the direction of the tower, the wolf laid down and wagged his tail, hoping what he felt was a good running friend would come back. When the cloak started swirling the wolf returned to paying attention to the movement, a slight twitch of his ears when Yuri spoke that almost seemed to show an understanding.*

*The wolf didn't hesitate to take off after the stick. This was a new concept to him but he did understand spoken words more than he let on. It wouldn't take long before the wolf caught up to the stick, almost making it before the stick hit the ground. When the stick hit the ground and bounced back up, he caught it in his mouth and slowed to a stop alittle beyond that. Shifting how the big stick sat in his mouth, the wolf started to walk back to Yuri. When he got about half way back, the wolf plopped down on the ground and started chewing on the stick, not biting hard enough to break it but he did leave marks with his teeth.*
