Blackfeather Woods tolling on the iron bell

Unusual. Not much of an answer, but then, maybe Cicero was hard to pin down. (And he was.) She smiled at the mention of Euron, and then it faded as the conversation continued. If he was going to bring trouble to the woods, to Mou, then he wasn't worth keeping around. Getting rid of him, though, might be a challenge in and of itself.

We'll keep an eye on him, Maegi suggested. I think that's all we can do. If we start noticing things are getting worse, or something happens, he's gone. Which. . . How did one even do that, kick someone out? This pack leadership thing wasn't as easy as it looked at first blush.

She shook her head with another gusty sigh. I think we'll have to wait and see, she concluded lamely. I hope he's just weird like Cicero, and not dangerous. As if to say Cicero, who'd kidnapped and tortured Relmyna, hadn't been dangerous. Ha!
