Ash lowered his head as if asking to be petted and Wolfram said that it indeed wanted to be petted by Stella and that she could also embrace the said wolf.
"Oh my! Thank you!" Stella's eyes shone excitedly and she fearlessly walked to Ash who looked so much more fearsome compared to Snow.
Zafir glared at Wolfram but the latter assured him that his wolf was well-behaved.
"Nice to meet you, Ash. You look so mighty and strong," Stella petted the wolf and Ash barked and wagged his tail. "Yet you seem so kind and sweet. Just like the one I know from the story," she said and Ash whimpered and nuzzled its head on her shoulder just as Snow did.
"Are you comforting me? Thank you," Stella hugged Ash and continued petting it so lovingly like it was something so precious that Zafir felt jealous this time.
"My lady, Ash said that he hopes the one you long for had found a nice place and a good master," Wolfram suddenly said.
