Oh my dear sweet Lord. Selia, that post is giving me Adam Langley flashbacks. Literally his entire character is a guy who has been living in the wilderness for, like, nine years. Having befriended a wolf during that time is not that much of a stretch.

Having a single companion in the form of this wolf doesn't have to be a big deal, no matter his purpose for it being there...

EDIT: I'm sorry for snapping at you, but I really don't want this whole thing to happen again. The reason the "orc with a longbow" argument lasted ten goddamn pages was that Adam just wouldn't let it go, and I don't want "half-orc with a wolf" to be part two. Just let him have the wolf, you know?
