Vercin, Gudy: yeah, I’ve decided I’m okay with the pace, too. It is what it is, and all that.

Miladysa: We shall see.

ShadowKat: Glad to have you back.

Kitty: We shall see if your amusement is warranted.

I don't know why, but for some reason I find the fact that this guy has a pack of dogs to be terribly amusing.

My dog (a Jack Russell) wouldn't mix with wolves - come to that he doesn't much like other dogs . . .

So far, I read this character as a lone wolf more in touch with his human rather than wolf side. Perhaps he has had a bad experience but he is still capable of relating to the wolf within his dogs.

Mind you . . . I can often read too deep into something LOL

A lone wolf. Hangs around with humans. Has a pack of dogs.

“What the fuck is with this guy?”

Uhm, he doesn't like to mix?

Anyway, I agree with Vercin: this update nicely eased us back into the story.

Practical concerns . . . I'm thinking of dogs that see a Terminator, the barking bit. We have examples of whatshername meeting those two dogs, and Tiergan musing about doggie love and doggie hate (but no doggy "Hi how ya doin? OK, see you later") which suggests that dogs may not react well to shapeshifters, as a general rule.

I don't mind the lack of action here, given the hiatus—it eases us back into the story. Kinda like sticking your toe into the bathtub instead of diving into a cold pool.

I can’t help but smile. This place . . . he can’t be all bad, not if he choses to live here.

Sonja — cool.

MeiLin — yay!

Sarah — no, I think Tiergan’s expressed his disdain for dogs before. To be honest, it’s a little over-played here, but what I had in mind is that he finds the whole idea somehow beneath Torrin’s dignity. Like hiring children to run your investment bank (although, that said, children might prove to be more honest . . . . ) He has more practical concerns, too, but I’m not going to say anything more about those.
