As night passes and daylight starts to shine from the inn's windows, the creature wakes up from it's corner and stretches it's back. Man, it's boring waiting for so long, it should probably do something to make things move faster. It shakes slightly, then walks over to where the two werewolf hybrids slept, deciding to have a little fun.
It sits quietly near Thorn's bed, readying itself to pounce on the poor unsuspecting werewolf.

GAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!

The loud yell wakes up everyone on the second floor.
Scatterbrained, most of the eight adventurers were able to stand on their own two feet to see what the commotion was all about.
Most of them.
Poor Fluke stumbles in his sheets and fails to get up properly, and Armen sits up abruptly, looking for something to hold on before he falls off his bed. "Agh!"

"GET THIS MANGY ANIMAL OFFA ME!" Thorn continues to yell, pushing the somewhat dirty wolf off of him.
The wolf barks back at him, giving the werewolf hybrid one more lick on the cheek before getting off them bed.
"dID SHE JUST CURSE AT ME HOW DARE-" He started, but the other werewolf hybrid snaps.
"Shut up Thorn! Jesus christ!" His friend, Disurell yells back, turning over and smacking him with a pillow.
"Ay!! I'm not the one who jumped someone out of nowhere because I was bored!!" He hisses back, grabbing the pillow and pushing it back at her.

Swiftly, the wolf turns towards the adventurers, who stare unmovingly. It looks among them, eyes stopping at a certain mage. It barks again, running at full speed towards the enderman hybrid. "oHMYGOD-" A loud thud can be heard as the impact of the wolf is enough to make Drake fall back onto his bed.

"Aaaand there he goes." Grayson says, smiling as he watches his friend try to push the overly-excited dog off of himself.
Armen, who finally gets off the bed, looks around. "I don't know what I missed but I think I heard a dog? What the heck??"

"Yeaaaah, somehow a wolf got into the inn and is currently on Drake." Evanz explains, shrugging.
"Ah. That is not the best way to wake up." The confused boy responds.
"TELL ME ABOUT IT! I'M GONNA SMELL LIKE DIRTY DOG UNTIL I REACH CARDEND!!" Thorn whines, opening his pack to look for a new shirt.

"RIP Drake, he'll forever be in out hearts." Mia says, adding dramatic effect in her tone.
"Amen, sister." Rage joins in, wiping fake tears from his eyes. "HE WAS TOO GOOD FOR THIS WORLD."
"You, are an idiot." Hollow rolls his eyes.
"I'm not dead you asses!" The mage yells, getting off his bed as he sucessful puts the wolf back down on the floor.
Finally calming down, the wolf simply looks up at Drake. It barks, tail wagging.

"You best keep your wolf in-check, enderman hybrid." Disurell calls to him, getting up from her bed to grab her backpack.
"MY wolf? He's not mine!" He replies back.
The wolf barks at Drake again.
"First of all, the wolf's a SHE. Second of all, she called you "Master", so I don't see how she's not yours." The werewolf hybrid explains, taking out her hairbrush and brushes herself.

"Wait- you can understand her?" Fluke asks, surprised.
"Duh, have you forgotten what type of hybrids we are?" Thorn replies to the blonde, putting on his new shirt.
"We're werewolves, so obviously we can understand other wolves. Well- those who aren't too feral that is." He continues, taking the spare brush Disurell hands him and starts brushing his own tail and ears as well as his hair.

The wolf barks in response to Thorn.
"You may not be feral, but you're certainly animalistic." He says back.
Bark!
"Who're you calling 'childish'?! You're the one who pounced on me!!"
Growl...
"Stop arguing with the wolf Thorn, save your energy." Disurell cuts in, sighing.

The younger werewolf hops off her bed, dusting her skirt and clipping on her cape. "Grab your pack and let's hit the road. The earlier we get to Cardend, the better."
"I know, I know." The redheaded werewolf grumbles, putting on his backpack as he follows his friend to the stairway.
"Nice meeting you folks." Hollow says to the two.
Disurell nods back. "Likewise, safe travels to you all."
"Same to you!" Evanz responds, smiling.
The female werewolf smiles back politely, then continues down the stairs. "What a way to start the morning, huh?"
"Kindly shut up, my ribs still ache."

As the adventurers watch the two go downstairs to check out, the wolf barks again to grab Drake's attention. He looks down at the wolf sitting on the floor, tail wagging. "You.. seem to give off a familiar aura.." The mage says, thinking about the last time he saw a wolf.
Last he's seen one was before he went to Hell-
"Wait." His eyes widen as a thought dawns on him. "WAIT. ARE YOU THE SAME WOLF WE RESCUED FROM CAVE SPIDERS?!"

She springs up from her position, happy to have been remembered.
"I'm taking that as a yes."
"Now that you mention it, the wolf is starting to look familiar." Mia adds in, walking over to pet the wolf.
She smiles when the wolf earnestly rubs against her palm.

"So, we're gonna keep her?" The elf asks, looking at the others.
Everyone mumbles in agreement that, yes, we should keep the startling wolf. Whether it was because they were still tired as fuck or because most of them missed having a little companion by their side, it was something no one complained against.
"Is that even a question? Absolutely!!" Grayson exclaims, eyes shining.
"First impression? Not too good. Still, I think we should keep the lil wolfie." Evanz responds, picking up his backpack from the ground.
Fluke sees him doing so, and decides to follow through. "I think we should all do the same as those werewolves and head out soon."
"Agreed, I mean i'm still pretty tired, but knowing you four's reputation we should leave as soon as we can." Hollow replies to the blonde.

Sure enough, everyone starts to pack up whatever then needed into their backpacks, checking eachother and themselves to make sure nothing is forgotten. As everyone starts to head downstairs, the wolf nuzzles against Armen's leg, deciding to interact with the other humans that seem to have close connections with Drake.
"Hehe, awww!" The blue-eyed boy chuckles lightly as he puts on his pack.
"Hey Drake!" Hearing his name being called, the hybrid turns to look at Armen.
"Yeah?"

"What're you gonna name this wolf anyways?" The younger sibling asks.
Drake thinks for a moment. He's never really had a pet, at least, he doesn't recall having one. Perhaps Collin and Armen had one when they were kids, but he should ask Collin when he gets back into that Dreamscape of theirs. Speaking of it, the hybrid wasn't able to access that area of his mind last night. Oddly strange, but perhaps he can only access it when Collin willingly allows him too.

Okay, he's getting sidetracked.
"Uhhhh, not too sure dude. Maybe that should be something all of us decide on." He says, shrugging.
Armen hums in agreement, heading downstairs to check out as Drake follows suit.
