Mert shook his head as he finished the last few mouthfuls of his dinner. "I ain't gonna tell you what shape to stay in. That's up to you. Like I said, now I know you might be an animal it shouldn't be a problem."
While Mert had indeed eaten most of his food, he had apparently set aside several tasty morsels of food and held his bowl up for Deli to happily munch away on as he started cleaning things up. As he glanced over at Asta trying to stay buried in the furs he decided to throw a little more fuel on the fire to warm the tent up a little more than he usually would.
"Thanks for your help today. Might not have gone well for me 'n' Deli if we came across them wolves by ourselves." There would have definitely been bloodshed, and almost assuredly Mert would have been wounded or killed.
