Barghest absorbed the exchange between Talyssa, Quill, and herself with a calculated gaze, her demeanor as composed as the girl could make it. A faint smirk played at the corners of Barghest's lips as Talyssa playfully entertained the notion of wolves born without ears, her words a hint of sarcasm that Barghest's own cynical view of the world quite enjoyed.

Nature defies logic, defies general truths. Like me."The girl dropped her voice lower, and it took on a more boyish timbre. It was something she tried to control, to hide her oddity. Two birds with one stone, literally – as she used herself as an example and willingly displayed her own anomaly.
