Hunger. Anger. Pride. Joy.
All these emotions flooded his wolf thoughts. His human thoughts felt nothing, just a strong feeling of warmth at having succeeded again. His human thoughts tried to ignore the wolf thoughts, strong powerful emotions. His wild senses.
Hungry. Need Food. Hunt. Need Blood.
He pushed the wolf thoughts to the back of his mind, thinking.
No! No Hunting
Bad Wolf. Hunt Bad. Sorry
No. You can't help it. Good Wolf
He couldn't help but talk to his wolf thoughts every now and again. He had no one else. The scientists weren't allowed to see him. His contact to them was terrified of him. No friends. No one.
Lonely.....
I know.....
He paced about outside the Kennels, muttering under his breath. "Now...to find that passage back inside...."
The trinkets he'd stolen that night jangled loudly as he moved, a sound he enjoyed.

There was one thing Edward hated.
That was exploring. Of course it had to be done. Somehow, he had to know everything about Gotham and this Kennel just so happened to miss his eye. He had done a lot of scolding when he was in the Riddleshack. I really have to pay attention to Gotham. He sighed as he leaned against the outer walls.
He was pondering whether to take a glance inside or not. On one hand, he could risk getting attacked and he didn't like that. Then on the other hand, he would more intelligent about Gotham's boundaries. He closed his eyes and took a slow step away from the Kennel. His hands threw their selves over his hair and he bared his teeth.
This was the only thing holding him back! He didn't want to get killed.

Smell Something....Stranger
His wolf thoughts growled, causing his body to obey and the snarl sounded, hackles raising.
Stranger in Territory Must Protect!
He fought his wolf side, and then as they rounded the corner, he saw it. Something flashed just right in the dim lighting, and caught his eye. He had to have it.
Shiney. Want. Need
He agreed with his wolf thoughts for once, and with a jangle, a bark and a luge, he pounced at the man with the object, aiming to tackle him.

Edward turned his head towards the north. Something now bothered him. His left hand grasped onto his cane as he now wished he were back in the Riddleshack. Hell, he could've gone back in the morning and it would've been a bit safer. Maybe. Or maybe he should've just went in when he wasn't so damn paranoid.
That's when he heard the bark.
That's when he knew there was a dog.
He didn't have all too good luck with dogs.
Who would he be if he admitted that, though?
The Riddler suddenly gasped as he was tackled. He had no time to think and it was all too late now. His eyes went wide as he had tried to throw his cane towards the animal, but he was all too slow (for once) against the creature. The cane dropped onto the damp grass.

Caught. Prey. Shiney.
The huge black canine growled, looking at Riddler. "All right who are you, and why are you here?" the wolf snapped, plain english too.
The sniffed at him, making it seem like there was some other person nearby. Someone who wasn't the dog. It was amusing actually.
Hungry. Is Food?
The wolf thoughts amused him as he thought back.
No. Not Food. Human. Humans Aren't food

Edward glared towards the canine. He was shocked that this beast could speak human language, but he had held back the urge to blurt out, "You're a talking dog!" No. No. No. Wrong. That'd be too cliche. Too... That did sound familiar, didn't it? He was about to slap himself, but stopped at the last minute. He licked his lips and stared up at the snout of the creature.
"Here's a hint to my identity," Edward started out rather coolly, closing his eyes like a complete and utter smart ass. Of course he was going to make the best out of this situation. His eyes opened slowly. He grinned slyly. Almost like a Cheshire cat or something.
"What's a Riddler without riddles?"

Donnovan pressed his snout to Riddlers nose.
"Very amusing" He scoffed, not highly amused by the riddles.
"So you're the famous Riddler....well Riddler...I'm Six."
It was one of many names, and he wasn't about to give away his real name to a stranger. He'd heard of the Riddler. Cunning, smart.
Just another dumb human in his wolf thoughts eyes.
Not Funny
He chuckled to himself at his wolf thoughts comment.

"Weeell..." Edward trailed off then he grinned towards Donnovan more sinisterly. This still made him feel a bit odd. He leaned his head far back into the grass, eyes going a pinch wide towards the snout pressing up against his nose's tip. The cunning man closed his eyes and smiled almost lazily.
He shrugged underneath the canine's weight. "Six? Is that a pun off of the Mark of the Beast?" He asked as he opened his left eye towards Donnovan. Of course, it was just a guess but he had read about that when he was a child. Slight purple hues flashed towards him after. It was as if he ignored the 'famous Riddler' part because... He already knew he was famous.
In his eyes anyway.

"No...Six is the name the men gave to me when I was born. When I escaped, Wolf refused to take any other name...."
He snorted. His wolf side didn't want a complex name. It was too hard to remember Donnovan Makos. His human name. The name his wolfmother had refused to cal lhim by. The one his HoundFather had given him. Lest he forget his humanity.
"You still haven't told me why you were snooping around my territory" he growled, showing his long fangs.
Eat now? Hurt now? HUNGRY!
Wolf shouted in his head.

Edward raised a brow. Then he grinned lazily again and leaned gently against the grass now. He was completely comfortably in a situation like this? Well, for him, you had to make due with anything you had. He opened his other eye towards Donnovan then he snorted right back at him. "Wolf?" He asked, but quickly decided against to let him answer.
"I was snooping around because I simply wanted to," The Riddler declared rather bravely. A giggle escaped his lips afterwards. "Heehee~!"

"You're not too bright for all the talk. How do you know this place isn't full of traps. Did you think there weren't gaurds, gaurd wolves to be specific..."
He paused, sitting down to press the brunt of his weight on the mans stomach. "You weren't thinking ahead....how absolutley clever of you"
He was sarcastic, but with reason. It was foolish to walk into his territory willingly. He had part of a wolfs mind, and he wasn't always in control.
"Do you know what it's like to have another voice inside your head besides your own?" he questioned, the way he spoke almost sounding as if he was turning the riddles on their master

Edward leaned forward towards the sudden weight against his stomach. Then he snorted and rolled his eyes. "Please... I always think ahead, my dear canine companion." He giggled afterwards. "How would I get this far without being spotted, hm? I keep myself hidden. Always." He grinned. "..."
Now he just noticed how that was incredibly wrong. "Er. Never mind."
That's when he noticed Sixes' next question. Rolling his eyes, he snorted.
"Doesn't everyone have voices in their head? It's like a little doppelganger, Six." He said. "Or are we talking about the real thing, hmmm?~" He asked like a smart ass, obviously not being outsmarted just yet.

"Oh hoho how wrong you are about that" he frowned.
"No no, these voices are quite real...Wolf.....show him"
His golden eye seemed to turn green. "Trespasser. Six Hungry....Need Hunt"
The gold returned as he said "Six, or Wolf as I call him, is the real canid in me. Donnovan, or the one I prefer to call Six, is my Human me."
"Confusing really"

Edward lifted his head a bit then he laid back down against the damp grass. He already felt the backside of him grow wet, but he couldn't help it now. His eyes flashed a bit towards the change.
"And so we have choice two, the real thing." He said in a sly voice. "Of course, Six, if I can still call you that..." He started rather slowly only for his voice to increase to regular speed. "He's basically feral, right? Haha. That's simply wonderful and so...interesting." Edward said rather excitedly. His eyes went wide a bit but then he forced himself to relax.
No... He wasn't going to let himself become obsessed over another person.
Now that would be pretty weird.

His eyes flashed green as the wolf stepped off of him. "No feral. Wildborn. Normal. Truewild. No Fake. No Human"
His eyes returned to yellow. "Wolf doesn't like the term feral, he says it suggests he's insane....."
"nothing wrong with being a little left of sanity"
"Sane better. Sane Thinks. Keep Mind...Prefer" Wolf stated.
"Rid not sane....Rid feral" It accused.
