Sawtooth Spire *Knock-Knock* Daddy's Home

At Mahler's decree that Howl could be present at the birth, the pale matron breathed out a little sigh of relief. It was not much, but even that privilege helped. Howl introduced as a Kaistleoki wolf, which Star had a vague knowledge of- and offered his own agreement to whatever standard Mahler might set. That made Star just slightly nervous- she knew Mahler may have high standards. She usually met Sagtannet's standards just fine, but he might not go so easily on an outsider who only intended to visit.
