"They started attacking you guys? Why?"
"Obviously because Braham told them that we were harboring a monster. A monster that could understand and communicate with humans."
Northern narrowed his eyes.
"He lied? How more wretched could he be?"
Annette was silent for a few seconds, squarely looking at Northern.
Northern returned the gaze gesture and questioned.
"What? Didn't he?"
She shook her head subtly.
"No, he didn't."
She then squinted her eyes, "Northern, have you seen Mr. Fluffy since you came back?"
Northern shook his head, "No, I haven't. I just came back and came here straight."
Annette then slowly nodded, "I see, that's why…"
"That's why what?"
She raised her face to him and gave him her intense fiery glare.
"Your monster wolf has grown… really grown. And although it can't speak with us, it clearly understands us."
