Shifting. Skoll could not wait to shift. He was fine with his father’s admonishment about enjoying his youth while he could, and he was okay with being a kid, but he really did want to learn how to transform into a luperci shape. He wanted to unlock his potential, use his hands, learn to ride; in this sense, he was impatient to grow already. In the end, he might be like his father and still prefer a four-legged shape, but it was hard not to want something he couldn’t yet have.

“Let Hati’n’Lottie name ’em,” the young Haskel said graciously, speaking in his kindest prince’s voice. Naming was hard work, but he wanted his siblings to at least have a go at it. If they picked stupid names or were too slow at naming, he’d of course snatch his privilege right back up, but he couldn’t think of any right now.
