Emot turns around and looks up at the 6'5" tall wolf.  He sees that the apology is sincere.  "It's ok.  It's not like my fur can't be washed.  I just need to find a river or some body of water to clean myself.  I know there's a lake near here, but at my size, I won't reach it till late afternoon."  He looks at the ground clawing the ground, "I hate to ask, but can you help me get to the lake?  By the time I get back to the village it will be dark and the people here have said it isn't safe to travel at night."
