flight, part 1

Mark prowled in the room, like one of those big cats Davy had seen on tv. The ones in cages, not like the ones some of his brother's associates kept as pets. Mark said it was tacky, most of the time, to keep big predators like that. "People only keep predators that big if they're very small hunters themselves," he said, in that way that gave the words another meaning. And he said it with a smile, to Herr Corbie, who kept the biggest wolf Davy had ever seen- bigger than some werewolves, even- in a glamoured collar.
