Neverwinter Forest A bad penny always turns up.

Mal had to wonder if the way Stone acted was similar to how a slightly older pup might -- like not even metaphor, more like just remove Stone's brain and put it in a pup older than Caerus, would that fit better? Well. He'd find out eventually. Hopefully this wolf wasn't making stuff up though and was gonna be useful. Again, time would tell.

Now or later. Whatever ends up making sense. Yeah, you are -- make us all proud to have you as a packmate. Or at least, that'd be the kind of thing he'd say to Caerus and hope it stuck. Would that work with him too? Well. They'd find out. He looked to Simmik, giving her a glance with a slight shift in expression -- he wasn't 110% sold either, but at least he seemed harmless enough.
