Hookwolf struggled to pull himself together. He used hooks to pull the metal back towards his core, where it could be reabsorbed, recycled. It didn’t take much of his reserve of internal energy to create and move the metal, but it took some, and he’d rather not run out.
Hm, another potential weakness, in that you can wear him out, although he probably still has more endurance than most people.
It was a risk, he knew, but he needed a few moments to pull himself together and rebuild his body. He let his head and upper chest emerge from the core, taking form in the hollow metal ‘head’ of his canid form.
I suppose his brain is in the core, then?
And all of a sudden we’re back to the discussion of brains and their locations.
“What do you people want?” he asked.
“Person. Singular. I am the only member of my group here,” Shatterbird informed him.
Yeah. No surprise here, of course, but it might be a different story with Hookwolf.
“Arrogant.”
Hmm. I suppose as long as you assume the goal was attacking and defeating Hookwolf and his Chosen, it could come across like that.
“You can be arrogant when you’re strong enough. You should know, Hookwolf.”
…oh yeah, the kettle’s got a point about the pot. Though Hookwolf doesn’t seem to be anywhere near as arrogant as Kaiser was.
