And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Just playing or seriously trying to drive him off?
Most likely playing, at least on the crow's part. That wolf, though? Maybe not. I've seen some videos of crows following wolves in the wild - apparently, it's not too unusual for a young crow to buddy up with a pup or two. The birds will follow the wolves, scavenging the bits of the kills that they won't (or don't) eat, and the wolves get a combination early warning system/prey locator for the bargain. Of course, that also means they have to put up with some silliness as seen above. But it keeps happening, so the system must be working well enough...
