Thumbelina needs a home (Stormy sale)

Artur inclined his head to Branch, though rage clawed at his chest at the male's insistence on continuing to bid on the girl. What exactly did he want her for? Was it what the viking had implied, that he had seen her and smelled her heat and wanted her as a slave to force her? He forced the fury back down to smolder as he met the other male's gaze. "An admirable bid," he said smoothly, his mind working as he did. He would need to make offers only found in the west, where few of the wolves here likely spent a great deal of time. "I will raise two desert bighorn, quartered and smoked with the hides, skull and horns preserved. Four gila monster skins. A serval skin. Hmm. And three live ring-tailed cats." He would trap four, and give one to Viviane. Surely the clever little creature could help with her healing.
