They didn't know about voodoo. Well, he'd been hearing that same broken record since they very day he'd arrived in Relic Lore, and it really mean anything one way or the other. Either they were heathens —which means they were liars and he couldn't trust them— or they were good people who were just plain ignorant. Either way they would claim to know nothing... Yet. His gaze flicked back towards the young, grey flecked girl, and he wondered if, for all she said about being good and being family, she could be trusted. Hadn't she attacked him before? The exact nature of their first meeting was hard for him to recall exactly, now that it had been smeared and blurred by the passing of time. All that remained to his memory now were those emotions, those images: fear, anger, biting, snapping, monstrous fighting. It was too hard to trust her, too hard to make sense of this mess.
Shaking his head in frustration, an exasperated sigh billowed from his lips, "<b>Yes, I live in the Hollow...</b>" And the wolves in the Hollow... <i>Elettra</i> she practiced an awful lot of devil-magic on the sickly... didn't she? He had never really seen it firsthand — like he was <i>ever</i> going to want to go anywhere near her or her barbaric medicines— but he knew she definitely did <i>something</i> to "heal" those patients. Well, if there could be devil-magic in his pack... couldn't there be devil-magic in this one? And that smell. He wrinkled up his face again at the sour tang that lingered around these wolves and their trees. "<b>And we don't smell this bad.</b>" He couldn't trust this smell, this ugly, strange smell that belonged to different faces and different practices.
And that was when the runt piped up.
Kiche had been doing a rather decent job at ignoring the little thing since he was so small and seemed to be capable of minding his own business... yet when it suddenly broke into the conversation with a nonsensical question, the saint's large, red head snapped towards him. "<b>How the hell would I know,</b>" he sneered, confused as to how this runt could expect him to know what his "birth pack" was like. And Kiche wasn't "<i>strange</i>" — <i>they</i> were the strange ones! Further incensed by the impertinent twerp and the dull throb in his head from the rank stink from this place, the saint concluded that it was probably in his best interest to leave. He had stayed far too long already. Roughly clambering to his feet, he wheeled around and walked away, his only goodbye a gruff, curt, "<b>I'll be leaving, then.</b>"
