No one should be getting so close to him, least his bestial impulses lead him to flying off the handle. On the other hand?

[ What kind of trouble? That's up for his friend to interpret as Cloud stops, wolf ears twitching atop his head as he looks around. He recognizes this area...and the route is a familiar scent to him, too. He's been here before. But more importantly, ]
