"Rex lived with you in this cabin for a long time now. The winter was harsh everywhere, but you didn't think you could have made it in a city. You didn't know much about what lurked in the woods, but you did have an idea of how people would be in cities. Rex is a great woodsman, caring, and does pretty much all of the work, but was delusional. Despite being a wolf, he fancied himself your pet dog. Right now, it was growing dark outside, and Rex was drying his fur by the fireplace, crouching."
