I've had some similar issues and I feel your pain :(
I blinked, surprised by his response. Then I shook my head slightly and laughed. I'd forgotten how wolves could be, especially if they were pack-born. And this wolf oozed it. Even before I was a wolf, I'd always been kinda fit (it was kind of hard not to be) but when I'd run into bears and shit in Wyoming or Colorado I had to use my brains to get out. This guy's response was that he (the big man) would, I dunno, shift and wrestle the bear while I (the little woman, I suppose) ran away. I didn't judge wolves for liking to fight - the adrenaline rush, the mental and physical challenges - it was legit stuff when you had a legit opponent. But a black bear? They were pure instinct. Sure, you could shift and fight it, but it was simpler just to use its instincts to your advantage and walk away with no hassle and no carnage.
I almost rolled my eyes at his comment, almost. This kid took himself way too seriously if he thought I was calling him dumb, but I guess I'd figured that part out.
I gave him another smile - smaller this time because of the bullshit I'd been wading through but I also found him kind of amusing.
I chuckled,
My mother loved the name Hugo. She wanted to run off with some European trash dude named Hugo but settled for a few months with my dad. I guess naming me after what could have been was her fix and a reason to always dislike me.
I could tell from his voice that the kid cared about his little brother. I could understand that, at least sort of. Landon was not in any danger of being mistaken for a bear cub, nor did I consider myself my brother's keeper, but I could still empathize with this guy somewhat. Plus he gained some respect from me for it. A lot of wolves lacked discipline and responsibility. This guy may have come off as childish, but at least he knew what it meant to take care of someone.
I hesitated slightly when he mentioned that I had given him my pack name.
I'll admit the first thing I thought of when I heard his name was Star Wars. I'd never actually seen it, but you'd have to live in a hole not to have heard of Obi Wan Kenobi. That was not as funny as his dislike of his human name.
