Maximus stayed calm. He could sense a bit a fear in the wolf. "I won't hurt you, I just heard a noise and came to investigate." Maximus crouched down and motioned the wolf to come forward. "I am not a threat, Its ok."

The wolf growled again but this time for a split second it's form shifted back to the girl, but only for an instant. The uncontrolled changing seems to happen the most when anger and hunger are mixed. A little fear couldn't hurt either.
The wolf backed up slowly, if she went fast she would be giving to much leeway and showing cowardice. Besides, the bookcase was only two or three feet behind her, she could already feel her tail brushing against the dusty ledges. She glared at the man, baring her fangs once more as he did an unfamiliar motion; Urza tried her best not to interact with humans so most of the gestures would be wasted on her.

Maximus saw the girl, but only for an instant. He back away slowly and then turned into his dragon form then back to his human form. Maximus remembered he brought some cooked deer meat with him. He reached into his backpack and took out the meat. He ripped of a piece and threw it near the wolf.

A...dragon...?
As Urza was trying to comprehend what she had just seen; the man had taken out something and tossed it at her.
She instinctively jumped backwards, crashing in to the bookshelves and snapping one of the side supports. The large bookcase wobbled but steadied itself just barely; waiting to fall if it were to be struck with any slight force.
The wolf's eyes shot back to the man and started another growl in her throat but paused.
huh The wolf put it's nose slightly up and sniffed the air. Food?! It's eyes, ever so intent on staying on the strange invader had no choice but to slide down to the piece of meet sitting a few feet in front of her paws.
If it was some food that she had found on the street or in the garbage then she would have no problem eating it but when it's being offered how would she know the intentions, poison has come across her path way to many times to risk. Even though she thought that there was still a small amount of saliva coming from her low-growling snarl as her eyes tried hard not to dart to much between the meat and the man. Dang this was torture!

Maximus after taking the meat from his pack started to feel hungry. He ripped half of the meat off and lightly tossed it neat the wolf. He then ripped the remaining meat in half and place one of the pieces back in his pack. He ate the other piece then sat down facing the wolf and smiling. "You look kinda cool."

The wolf, now drooling openly as it watched the man add to the pile of meat near it and also eating some of it himself was really losing it's mind.
It hardly even registered the mans voice.
...food....poison...food....poison...uhhhh
Oh! He had already eaten a piece from the same larger chunk of meat, he wouldn't have done that if he intended to poison the food!
With this incredibly joyous information the wolf lept forward extremely quickly, landing on the pieces of food and started tearing them apart ferociously, completely ignoring the man sitting a yard or so away.
God it tasted soooo good. Well, anything would if you hadn't eaten for two weeks.

"Very interesting." Maximus watched intently as the wolf was eating the meat. Maximus like his father always liked wolves, tigers, lions, and other similar animals. Maximus stood up slowly and picked up a book from a shelf behind him. "You like books?"

The wolf froze mid bite. All the hair on it's back returning to an upright position. Then it noticed the book in the mans hand and lunged, snapping the book in it's jaws and landing on the dusty couch next to him as a dust cloud arose from the seats.
A low growl echoed from behind clenched jaws as the wolf's teeth slowly dug in to the bindings.
The book was on the history of Flames Wolves, now believed to be extinct, it gave very good illustrations on how to tell them apart from real wolves (though come on, shes red and gold... shouldn't need to much help for her) It also had a few pages in the back that were forcefully inserted by hunters who would pay a great amount for a live Flame Wolf.

"I suppose either you don't likes or you just didn't like the book you are eating. Thats ok. I am not an avid reader myself though I do love my Bible." Maximus picked another book from the shelf and saw that it had a related title. He slowly incinerated the book in his hands with concentrated light. He picked up another book and found it had the same title. He incinerated it and picked up another book. "Ahh, Here we are 'Art of Aikijitsu'. I always loved martial arts books. Very informative." Maximus took the remaining meat in his pack and threw it near the wolf.

The wolf snapped at it and caught the meat before it hit the couch, swallowing it in whole. But the book dropped from it's mouth and due to the bindings being destroyed scattered in a large messy pile on the floor.
Urza instantly reacted and jumped down, her claws made easy work of the sheets of old paper though it would have been easier to light them ablaze, it would have easily given away her already all to obvious secret.
Hey....wait a sec...why aren't i killing him?...
The wolf turned it's attention back to the man who seemed to be rather interested in a a book he had picked up off one of the shelves.
Hmph, lets just end this fast, she thought as she crouched for an easy deathblow, a knockdown and bite to the throat should do the trick, even though shes only 50 pounds she can still hit pretty hard.

Maximus shook his head. He placed the book back in the shelf. "Do you really want to fight? I mean you know harm and I don't fight unless I need to. Maximus turned into a dragon and flew to the far end of the room. "Besides it will only end badly for you." Maximus spoke as clear as a human did. He turned back into his human form and sat down. "Its up to you."

The wolf stood there dumbfounded. Did this man seriously pretend he didn't know what she was? Know how much money he could get even if he brought her in dead?!
While these thoughts were stewing around in her head she unknowingly shifted back to her human form.
Unaware of the change she asked "How do you not know what I am" She was still extremely hungry so the change was of course involuntary.

Maximus closed his eyes. "I know not your name, but I know you are a flame wolf. I'd recognize one anywhere. I also know you are quite hungry so..." Maximus without opening his eyes opened his pack and and took out some lamb meat and placed it in front of him. "You can take it no strings or tricks attached. By the way I help protect life with the power that was given to me. I will never take life away for anything." Maximus went back to meditating.

Okayyyyy, that's just odd
She had been chased by priests and holy men before claiming that she was a demon of some sort but never something worth protecting.
Unknowingly she shifted back to her wolf form and took a few steps forward then stopped....then took a few more steps forward and sat down. She was within a yard of the meat which was also extremely close to the man with his eyes now closed.
Urza half growled half spoke"You say you are a holy man but I have been hunted by many who call themselves that among other priestly names, what makes you different...unable to lie or bend your ways for reward."
She would make him confess his true agenda then kill him.

"You are not a werewolf, you obviously are not a demon or vampire. And I am not here to fight you. I just am looking to find out what happened to me when I was three years old and in the time before that. I thought I might find something, but I sense there is nothing for me here. I also sense that you need some help, guidance, perhaps a friend." A visible aura of light started to cover Maximus. "Name is Maximus, by the way."
