Remember, Juniper was the first choice to take up the family calling, and got more training.

At least she is willing to honor the dead.

That, and she might save a little bit of werewolf blood for herself. You know, as a memento...

I love Juni...but there's no getting around the fact, that kid is a little...touched.

Both are. Then again, if this is what you need to do to get someone willing to kill a person, who really needs killing, not because they're evil, but just because they're a threat, even inadvertently.

Wrapping it all up in religulous trappings may be designed to help both parties involved with the grief. Making blood come out of another monkey is inherently wrong, says the monkey brain, but you still need someone who can respond to the threat.

(Really, the only other places I could think to add more pages would be a page where Mabel expressed her growing desire to kill someone. Specifically, another old lady that she's known, and loathed, for years. "And as she died, I'd tell her, flat out, "That's NOT how S&M works, you stupid old baggage, and I don't care if they're making a movie out of the book, you should NEVER have introduced it to the club!")

In other news - while subject matter is grim - There's a petition on Change.org for Haemaru Law, over the DarkZel case. They're trying to argue up Zel's potential value as an artist, so to speak, and a show of support of Zel, would help prove he'd had a growing & devoted fanbase at the time of his death.

Waitasec, did... did she just sever the old lady's tail? Is that what she was handing to her brother?

Yup. Like in the tale of the Kitsune.

And June wants something left to honor Mrs Garrity.

It's an established old ritual, as in taking the scalp of a foe. A remembrance of Mabel.
