Lupa shrugged her front biceps not at all reassuringly, but she then seemed to get some sort of confirmation from the wolf before she nodded to him and motioned insistently at the keys. Alessio let out a low measured breath. Normally he’d be able to tell whether someone was lying or not, but reading the emotional subtext of animal’s body-language is an entirely different beast there (*haha, see what I did ther…you’re right it’s an awful pun I’ll see myself out of the Fourth Wall now…*). He didn’t really have much of a choice, though, they all needed out.
“I’m going to regret this so much…” Alessio grumbled, very reluctantly taking down the keys to unlock the stupid door so the giant wolf that’s apparently promised not to eat them can get out so he can eat them. Back in Casumbra wulfs were used to track people–namely..him, and they were trained to be brutal.
Needless to say Alessio hated the idea of letting the wolf out.
At that exact moment the door inside the cage peeled open to the faces of a boy and girl, clearly siblings both with dark hair and eyes. The wolf turned to them, probably thinking what a delicious meal he wasn’t forced to promise not to eat. Alessio deliberately looked at Lupa.
“Do I still have to unlock this?”
