Lianth had stood patiently, listening to Jack's story with interest. The werewolf nodded once Jack finished, sighing a little. "That's quite the sad story," he replied sincerely. "But such is the way of the world, eh? Shit happens, and we must endure."<br/><br/>Then he smiled, using his polite smile. "But change is also part of this.

Give you a chance to change and come back and set things right. It will by no means be easy, of course, but if you are willing, it can be done."<br/><br/>He grinned a bit.
