Dominic whimpered with the rough treatment of his scruff, having lost his mother so young he was not accustomed to being grabbed there as many pups would be at this age. He could do nothing more than dangle from the older wolf's jaw as he was pulled first from off of Ke'anu's body and then later when pulled away from the steak meal he had been trying to scarf down.

Dominic watched with suspicious eyes as the larger wolf laid down before him, he could see that Ke'anu was a gentle-giant, considering the kind gestures that had been forthcoming so far but he could also see the dangerous side of the older wolf. Lesson learned; don't attack the bigger wolf until you're as big as he is, Dominic chided himself internally.

The first droplets of ocean-cold rain started pattering down on the ground, and instantly started soaking through Dominic's matted coat causing shivers to run through his body. Dominic backed himself against the brick wall of the alley, trying to shield himself from the rain as much as possible.

His ears perked up slightly though, when Ke'anu asked him if he were alright - not many people have ever cared enough to see if he was and the concern was startling, even more so was the promise that Ke'anu would not harm him. Dominic nodded his head, floppy right ear flapping wildly as he did so, although his left ear made little movement from damage previously done too it "I'm okay..." he lied, trying and hoping that the loud thunder would cover the sounds of his still rumbling stomach - the small leftover scraps of steak clearly not enough to satiate his overwhelming hunger. "Why did you take me away?" he asked, his bark more of a whimper as he curled up into himself, trying to keep what little warmth he had left inside of himself.
