"If I get stuck like that, you might be dealing with a real wolf eventually rather than me." One of Teddy's fear was letting his wolf instincts take him over and ending up as a danger to his friends and the school. He didn't let onto this insecurity, so it was easy enough to joke about it with Billy now.
Rolling onto his side, with his hand propping up his head, he shook his head. "No worries man. Just a consequence of turning into a big old dog every once in awhile." People tended to forget that it was Teddy underneath all the fur and teeth which often times led to fear or 'look at the cute doggie!' type of comments and gestures.
He was tired of trying to convince the blonde clones that he wasn't something to pet, so he just gave it up altogether. Besides, he didn't mind when it was Billy doing it. It felt nice. He could understand why dogs really liked it. Teddy just didn't plan on telling Billy because that would be slightly embarrassing and good material for teasing. Cocking an eyebrow, he asked, "Are you really planning on going as a hunter?"
