She also had a muzzle. She’d splurged a little on this version; besides the usual mouth covering, it also had built-in blinders that could be opened and closed at will (if you could reach the clasp, which Circe couldn’t). Some kinds even had mouth bits for better control, but Bitterroot had never seen the value in them. Circe took it without complaint. Of course, Bitterroot was prepared to stab her through the head if she did complain, so that might’ve had something to do with it.
