duty without pain

The line between killing something sentient and a stupid animal was not that broad at all. It was a terrible flaw to believe in such differences. Larkspur observed the lives of other wolves without concern for their destinies. He believed in good and in evil, and he saw the potential for both within strangers. So it fell to Larkspur to steer the future of these too impressionable children as he himself had once been guided. His orange eyes were met by a pale blue gaze, though he visibly relaxed upon seeing the woman approach. She smelt of Dahlia, but more then this, she was dark.

A grunt broke through his throat and the heavy-set wolf kept his eyes on her own. He had quickly learned of his own superiority among these wolves. Tak had given him power, and Haku had proven that his own wolves were stupid and weak. “A huntin’ lesson,” he explained. Without looking to his younger companion, Larkspur continued. “Best not sneak ‘round here. Lot of folks still jumpy ‘bout them coyotes.” He pronounced the word sharply, as kaI-oat, and viciously at that. He felt no love for the beasts.
