He was wrong. My bugs could feel Grue out there. If the driver had been injured, that might account for why Grue had lagged behind. But Stormtiger couldn’t smell Grue?
It’s certainly something that ought to come in handy.
Hookwolf turned to me, “The dog girl. Where’s Bitch?”
“Not here.”
“I know that,” he growled.
At least he’s getting the picture.
It makes sense that Hookwolf would ask specifically about Bitch. She’s the one with the most offensive firepower besides Taylor, and Taylor’s power probably doesn’t affect Hookwolf himself when he’s in his wolven form. Alec might be able to do something to trip him up, but Bitch is realistically the best bet against Hookwolf. On top of that, Hookwolf has reason to have a personal grudge against her.
His hand dissolved into a mess of knives, hooks and spearpoints, then solidified into an oversized claw with fingers as long as his torso. He flexed them experimentally. How did you even classify that? Ferrokinetic shapeshifting?
I guess? Specifically weapons, by the sound of it.
See, this kind of thing is why the Protectorate’s classification system needs to be very flexible if they want to catch as much of the power’s detail as possible.
