Disturbing the Sleeping Wolf

It was early evening when Leith was asked to gather everyone for dinner. She accepted the request without hesitation as she wasn't much handy in the kitchen. "At least this way I can help everyone get some food." She thought to herself. She walked down one of the wings of the guild hall, knocking and telling those who answered it was time for dinner. Close to the end of the walkway, she noticed Steppenwolf's door was slightly ajar. Curiosity got the better of her and Leith looked into the room to see if he was there. Inside she found a small burbling fountain, a bonsai tree up on a shelf, and set of drawers on one side with a fairly large bed on the other.

In the center of the room on a mat sat Steppenwolf facing away from the door. Leith stood still, hoping not to disturb him. Steppenwolf made no reaction to her peeking into the room. "Step!" Leith called out quietly. He gave no response, so Leith quickly entered the room to get closer. As she approached she noticed that Steppenwolf was meditating. "Step, its dinnertime!" Leith said a little bit louder than before. The only response she got was a wag of his tail that startled her for a moment. "Oh!" she said as a thought popped in her head. "I've never been able to touch his fur before... I doubt he would notice now. I'll have to be quick though..." She thought as she knelt down next to Steppenwolf. She slowly lowered a hand to his tail, lightly stroking the fur a couple times. "Ah... wow that is soft!," She said happily.
