sobeille’s interest in lafayette clapped clamshell shut the moment she realized he’d made her look stupid. and he had already said what the wolf looked like, hadn’t he?

her eyes hardened. as the boy moved off she thought about how thin the cord was between his spinal column; what it might feel like between teeth —

she shook her head and the vivid imagery faded. maybe he’d seen maleah - that was the only wolf sobeille knew that looked sort of like chacal, other than val- but maleah wasn’t dead.. right?

sobeille decided she was done with children today. dusting her paws, she didn’t pursue lafayette— she made a point to go the opposite direction, in fact.
