I sniff for the she-wolf again. Maybe she's not hiding right now.

"What about my kind? I'm not so strange."

Now I'm annoyed. But I need to hear the voice more.

"It was strange seeing a wolf on the roof of an inn. I wanted to know why."

"Why was she on the roof? Why did she show herself?"

I pounce on where the voice is coming from.

I keep listening for where the voice is. Is it in the same place?

"Yes, I followed the wolf. But I lost her trail here in this alley."

I focus on where the sound is coming from.

"Are you the wolf from the rooftop?"

I look around. I try very hard to see who's talking.

"I don't follow anybody."

I'm starting to get a little freaked out.

"Who are you? Who is Kirijama?"

I change to glabro. "Show yourself!"

I draw my sword.

I spin around. Who said that?

The spirit can't hear me. Stupid spirit.

I look into the Umbra to see if the wolf is there.

"I'm going out to find that wolf. Do you want to come with me?" I use Night's Passage to hide myself. Then I change to hispo form. I use Treeclimber to climb out the window, up the walls onto the roof. I go to where the wolf was standing, and look around. I use Sense of the Prey to find wh...

At least this man is nice. I take his coat. But I don't say nothing. I just try to look scared, still.

Then I stand behind Ekaterina. She's better at talking to people.

I scream very loud. I hide behind the torn up clothes.

I try to look scared.

I put the wolf down. "Okay." I change back to homid shape. Now I'm naked again. Why am I always going outside naked? "You should change too. I'll try to look scared, when they show up. But if someone else tries to rape me, I'll burn this inn down over their bodies." I notice the ...

I can't really talk in Crinos form. I yowl, though. I'm embarrassed. I notice now that I'm in a dream, and in my real body. I climb back down into the courtyard and then grab Ekaterina to put her over my shoulder. The dream me says to dream-Ekaterina, "I think we should leave. Let's get our stu...

I run to the other side of the courtyard. I use Treeclimber to climb the wall, then I run away across the rooftops.

When I see the cup, I'm afraid. I'm terrified. I'm so afraid, I can't think. I start screaming. Ekaterina is standing by the door. The only other way out is the window. I spend a point of rage to change to crinos form. I claw at the shutters to open them. I'm too afraid to figure out how to use the ...

I pull the blankets up to my neck. I hold on to them tight. "Oh no. You won't lure me out from my warms that way. I won't be tricked for pretty trinkets."

I stare at her uncovered leg a little while, with a smile. "What else is in there for me?"

I frown when she puts clothes on. "I hoped you would shock the man while you paid him." I pull the blankets back up, so they warm up again. When the innkeeper has left, I hold tight to the blankets. "Food is a good idea. But now you can't come back to bed until it gets here. You'll le...

I groan. It's nice here. And chilly out there. I don't want to move. "He wants more coins? Can you give them to him, dearest? I'll stay here and keep the bed warm." I pull the blanket off Ekaterina, and shoo her towards the door. "Hurry, you're letting all my warms escape." I wat...
