It wasn't obvious at first. The limp only became pronounced after they had walked for some distance, and that's when she noticed.
Yu An asked abruptly, "Is your front leg injured?"
The Wolf King froze for a moment. 'There's no one else here,' it thought. 'She must be talking to me.'
It stopped and nodded.
"How did you get hurt? Also, your pack is very small. That doesn't seem right."
Based on her experience in the Beastman World, a full wolf pack should have thirty to forty wolves. But Yu An had only seen twenty-odd, and most of them were old or disabled. Other than the Wolf King, there wasn't a single young, strong wolf among them.
The Wolf King's eyes darkened, and its howl grew noticeably deeper. Since communication was difficult, Yu An called out the Red Fox.
After the Red Fox and the Wolf King communicated for a bit, the fox turned back to Yu An, gesturing and even using its claws to write on the ground. Yu An understood.
