Bradley nodded and stood at attention.
Hookwolf turned to the blond girl. “Leah, was it?”
I won’t blame him if it’s wrong. I had trouble with the names of some people after spending nearly every day of the week with them for three years, and Hookwolf’s dealing with 34 people who have been her for three days.
She looked surprised to be picked, but she nodded.
“Menja likes you. I don’t. You get one chance to prove me wrong. Menja? Who would you set her against?”
Hey, at least he’s honest.
There weren’t many options. Stormtiger couldn’t walk, Menja wouldn’t nominate herself, and it wouldn’t just be a hassle to go get Rune, Othala or Victor, but each of the three were either too powerful in a brawl or effectively powerless. That left Hookwolf himself and-
“Cricket,” Menja said. “Same reasoning. Leah’s quick, Cricket’s quicker.”
Hm, makes sense, I suppose.
Also, I’m guessing Othala is on the “effectively powerless” side of that. That would make sense if her power is to give others powers.
Do I know Victor’s power? I don’t think I do.
