                  I was awaken by a loud coughing fit. " Wolf are you okay?" I asked groggily. The coughing continued for a few more moments before Wolfy croaked out " Do...I'b dying" I bring the back of my hand to my mouth so I don't laugh at him. His voice sounded funny. " you may feel better if you blow your nose." I half snickered. Wolfy looked around, he had a lost look on his face.

I sigh, did he lose the blanket? Well fucking dammit. I see the blanket and drag it over to him. " Here you go." I coo holding it up to him. He takes it gratefully and blows his nose. " Ugggh...thagnks I like to be able to breath, even if it's only barely" I give him a look of sympathy as he curls up in the tarp.

My poor Wolf. "Awwww, Buddy is there anything I can do to make you feel better?" I ask him. He shakes his head no with a yawn. "Are you sure?"I press on. Tiredly he nods his head yes. "Positive?" At my continuation of asking he glares at me and says, "yes."

I chuckle inwardly, irritating a giant is thrilling and fun. " I'm going to get breakfast from the orchard, you want to come with?" Wolfy thinks for a second before answering, " Not hungry." I frown but say "ok fine" then hop off to the orchard to eat some plums. After eating I went back to check on The werewolf that lives in the tree. I didn't like what I saw, he was in wolf form and under the tarp. He was sleeping at least. I go to him and rub at his fluffy fur, and he hums in his sleep.

At my touch he cracks one eye open, and gives a sleepy smile. He smiles even though he is sick, I couldn't do that . " Well aren't you a sweetheart" I laugh. He frowns at those words and says " No" I don't know what compelled me to tease a giant, but I did. "You couldn't hurt a fly. You don't have a single mean streak in you. I bet you couldn't do one cruel or even a meanish act"

He puffs out his cheeks and frowns, " I could do sobething mean." I'm an idiot. I was probably digging my own grave. "Prove it" I said. Wolf looked at me like I have gone insane, witch I probably have. "Fine" I feel my eyes go wide, 'crap'.

Wolfy sits up and plucks me from the ground. I go stiff, what was he planning? He lifts me up to his face with a toothy grin. He tilts his head back and puts me on the bridge of his still red nose. I'm afraid to move, I could fall or cause him to sneeze.

"I-I think y-you proved your p-point" I stutter. Wolf crosses his eyes to see me. He chuckles and says, " No I haven't." Fucking dammit, I did dig my own grave. I shift so I am straddling his nose like it was a horse. At my movement he scrunches up his face. " Woah, woah there! Please s-stop moving! I-I don't w-want to f-fall!" I yelp. With a sniffle his face relaxes. " You make by nose itch" Wolf murmured. I gulp. I try to give my capture a smile but I fail. " But I like you there, you're warm and cuddly" Wolf hums happily. This is what I get for teasing a giant. I glance at the ground and wonder to myself, ' Is jumping down worth a broken bone...or death?'

No it isn't. Wolf head tilts back even more and I panic, I hope he's not doing what I think he is. Wolf's eyes are half lidded and his mouth was slightly open. He was doing what I think he is. "D-don't s-sneeze..." I whimper. He doesn't seem to hear me, as he lifts a hand to his face. I close my eyes waiting to be snatched up. I didn't have to wait long. His head snapped down and I landed in his hand.

"Gesundheit..." I hiss up to Wolfy . Landing in his hand made my back feel sore, at least I didn't hit the ground. I shudder as I think of what would of happened if I landed on the dirt. "Sorry...I didn't mean to sneeze..." Wolf whined with sad puppy dog eyes. I wave him off saying, " It's fine" He gave me a look that said 'You sure?' I just nod.

I learned today not to tease, challenge, or mock a giant werewolf. A sick one at that.
