Lake Rodney tarnished

"Well... if I eat dead wolves for breakfast, then that says something about me, doesn't it?" Birk raised his eyebrows. How much protection and defence did a cannibal actually need? Why not stretch the truth just a little bit, eh? Even if he had not eaten a wolf in a very, very long time and, given the choice, he preferred to stick to the regular diet. 

"But I will consider that, thank you very much," he dipped his chin a little to indicate that the point had been taken. "But why wouldn't you look for some other pack though - one that actually treated you nicely? I mean - no offense - but being beaten up regularly won't help you much in being an effective and useful pack member."
