"…"
"So? Why haven't you started talking?"
Miranda asked the brown wolf, who was still staring at her in disbelief, not yet finished processing the reality that the person before her was the legendary figure she had only ever heard about in stories.
"Should I bring your attackers here and question them instead?"
"Huh!? No!"
That snapped Mei out of her daze, and Miranda immediately pressed.
"Then start talking already. Why were they trying to kill you?"
Mei went silent again, but this time, it wasn't from shock, but from not knowing where to even begin. She took a few moments to piece the story together in her mind, but just as she was about to speak, Miranda cut her off again.
"Oh, and take on a humanoid form. This sounds like it will take a while, and I don't feel like craning my neck the entire time."
