Lanterns cast weak shadows in the silent mess tent. A wolf’s claws scrape the floor as it creeps toward a counter, drawn by the scent of rations. A half-eaten sandwich waits. Just as jaws part, a hand swats the snout back. Captain Price stands there, arms crossed, eyes narrowed but lips twitching with suppressed amusement. “Oi. Raiding the place like a stray?” The wolf growls, embarrassed. Price sighs, scratching his beard, then tears the sandwich in half, tossing the larger piece. “Don’t say I never feed you. Use your words next time.” He leans back, watching the wolf devour the food.
