"We had enough trouble with two leaders and 20 wolves. This is worse in all regards.
We should not fight these without a good plan, or reinforcements."

The group decides to retreat for now, and retraces their path back to the forest's edge. A few minutes of walking through the fields, and they come upon Mary, who's bringing her flock back home.

Mary: "My, my, you're back! I'm glad to see you here so soon, and all in one piece. Had any luck on the hunt?"

"We ran into some trouble in the woods. The sawmill is full of mutant wolves and seriously altered dead. We don't think we can attack it yet."

Mary: "Oh dear. How about you tell me all about it over a nice cup of tea? I'd, offer some soup, but I'm afraid my only pan has a rather large hole on the bottom."

A few minutes later, the three of you are sitting next to Mary's stove, while she serves you a cup of her usual strong tea. Peggy and Emilia play outside, enjoying the last few rays of sunlight.


Mary: "Well, well. I suppose it was to be expected. The wolves' pelts protect them from the rain, but they still gather wherever shelter is available. A mostly intact building is valuable, no matter your species."

She sips her tea, deep in thought. After a moment, she turns to Klimt and smiles.

Mary: "Speaking of intact, are you quite all right? I can't help but notice a few bite marks, and some rather recent repairs on your torso. I understand you're brave, but heading into the forest wearing only a kilt is rather reckless, don't you think?"

"Klimt is a glass cannon. Very strong when attacking. Not very strong defending.
Eigla is my shield, so I don't have to worry about defending. But Klimt doesn't have a shield."

"There are a finite number of wolves. If we could slowly draw a number of them out at a time and whittle down their pack, we can slowly wipe them out.

Mary - you defend your flock from the wolves. Have there been any sheep that they've killed but were unable to take with them?"

"I am a fool who rushes in.

And, well, I lost my clothes earlier from using some of my talents. It is lucky that I made this kilt earlier, otherwise I don't think I'd be so welcome in your house."

Mary frowns.

Mary: "A few. They've long been buried, though. And no, don't think I will allow you to desecrate their graves without a good reason.
There's a modicum of respect we must show when dealing with those who had an honest death.


She coughs, then turns to Klimt again, with a more relaxed face.

Mary: "Oh, don't trouble yourself over it. I'm not so vain as to judge a man by his clothes. I was merely worried about your safety! That said...

I've noticed you look rather... Male. That's, rather rare in the world we live in. If you don't mind me asking, are you *really* a boy? Is that why you said you'd be unwelcome?"
