“What’s the rush?  In fact, any moment we delay, you have a chance of reinforcements arriving.  Your Stormtiger, your Othala, your Menja, they could all do a little something to assist you. It’s in your advantage for us to delay the fight.”

She does have a point, or would if Hookwolf hadn’t asked them to do other things. I suppose they might come after him when they were done, though.

“Except I’m more than capable of putting you down myself.”

“Perhaps.”

And unlike the three mentioned, he’s not easily vulnerable to the glass.

He adjusted his form, dropping to four legs once more.  The aesthetic suffered, but he created two needle-tipped limbs at his shoulders, poised like scorpion’s tails.

The aesthetic suffers from becoming a wolf with dual scorpion stingers growing from the shoulders?? I don’t know what world you’re living in, Hookwolf, but in mine, that’s super cool.

“Ah, that’s much better,” she said, “But you’re still too attached to conventional forms.  Why have legs at all?”

Oh, you’re a connoiseur of unconventional body shapes?

I suppose there’s something psychological about it. Hookwolf doesn’t seem to need legs, but he very much prefers the quadrupedal form. So is it just “I prefer the aesthetics of having legs”, or is there more to it?
