Dragoncrest Cliffs let me tell you that I saw your boyfriend walking down the road

mireille wove a tale of mistrust and deceit that centered around wolves living inland. he swallowed a lump in his throat as he thought of those new acquaintances he'd met at the gathering; not all could be that bad, right? were they really so opposed?

but he also knew manman was full of wisdom, and her words meant more to him than anyone else's. he'd keep the tale close to his chest always, and especially now as he listened to sobeille explain herself.

his sister was fierce—sometimes frighteningly so—but it seemed she had done the right thing by sticking up for a friend. he didn't blame her in the least. 

i met a big dark man at de gathering, too, lafayette remarked, once silence had fallen between the trio. his guileless verdant gaze shifted between mother and sister. but he was nice to me and luce, be singin' an' all—so maybe not de same wolf, den.
