The force of Brand's curse did shake a few things. Kuri and her new friend had waken up, looking nervously up at the great dragon. The wolf girl even more cautiously, holding Kuri tight.

His words had shaken her to the very core of who she used to be. Innocent...Happy. She felt a warmth that the bowels of oblivion had yanked away from her, and she couldn't stop the fresh tears that leaked out. After a few moments of whimpers and sobs, she finally got some composure. "...Are you...sure that you can bring this under...under control?" she hiccuped, looking at Brand again. Something in her eyes had changed. They were no longer empty.
