Ah. She wants to get her own wolf! Here Link had been thinking that he could give her his, and go get another wolf. But if she wants to get her own, that's good too.

Her approach is interesting; Link hadn't tried to let the wolf sniff him. He'd taken more of a sneaky approach. But he has done the same kind of gesture, with his horses.

The thought reminds him; he should give his wolf a little pat. And another one, just for good measure.

And then he stays quiet, and watches; this is Kanna's moment. He's not going to interfere, or risk spooking the wolves.
