\u201cThat is all,\u201d he says. After a moment, he adds, \u201cI think the wolf plans for my son to free it, so that it can ravage through the world and eat everybody. Or maybe my daughter, if \u2014 I don\u2019t really know how wolf-inheritance works.\u201d<\/p>\n
She nods.<\/p>\n
\u201cGo on,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n
Miserably, he says, \u201cI am hoping that I or my son will kill it instead. I am dedicating my life to this eventuality.\u201d<\/p>\n
She straightens. She looks over the wolf. She thinks inscrutable Helissent thoughts. If the wolf could read her mind, they would probably sound like: \u201cblah blah blah blah Fenris blah blah Fenris blah blah blah eat? blah blah son kill blah.\u201d<\/p>\n
That is this artist\u2019s rendition of the matter. The wolf cannot actually read minds.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
