[ For her part, Kettara is having a wonderful time. The thrill of risking life and limb, even in this body, has her blood up and she sings, howling to the ancestors. Look down on me and rejoice, for I honor you with my actions. Though the silvery wolf has no bones or internal organs, and no lungs to speak of, she can still howl. Sometimes the howling even sounds like words.
Though they're not kodo, these beasts have an intelligence of their own and recognize a predator when they see one. She growls and darts among them and they change direction. They won't stop until she kills them all, but at least she can divert them a while. Let them flail and stutter and tire themselves out in their fear. Later, she will kill and gut them all. There ought to be a great feast after all this damage, she thinks.
Then she sees the lone human standing out in open ground and the howling turns a bit sharper. Angry.
The closest animal makes a plaintive sound. Kettara wishes this body had teeth so she could bite it. Instead she snarls, and the beast darts away.
The others follow, going elsewhere. She does not.
Instead, Kettara trots over to Pratt and flattens her ears. She snaps her teeth at him, annoyance clear. Go home! Humans are squishy and weak. ]
