The seer's eyes opened wider in surprise. "Well, that's new to me too, Michael. I've spoken to my fair share of animals in my day, but I can't rightly recall any of them answering me back. The man crouched down, putting him closer to eye level with the talkative wolf.<br/><br/>"I'm Salnius, this is Michael, and the big one who's offered up so much of his own blood is Aegon. I take it your friend here is Leylani. Do you have a name you'd be willing to share?"<br/><br/>"You're right, though -- we need to get away from this place, to somewhere safe. Michael, I don't suppose that you've a trysting place near here? Someplace relatively well hidden from jealous husbands and revenge-minded bandits? Our gnome friend won't be coming around for a bit. We should take what we can from the fallen men, and then I'll likely impress on Aegon the duty of carrying Leylani here, if it's all the same to you."<br/>
