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...

Well not living in the wilderness, just travelling around, but close enough. :P

Anywho, yes the point of him leaving was sort of because his affinity drove him to seek out bonds that he could form into magical ones later.
