I ended up there when we first arrived. I don't know about the animals really, there didn't seem to be much of anything there. No predators at least and nothing on the ground.
[It was something she and Lightning both found odd about the place. Later there was a creature of some sort but frankly when Lightning told Sarah to run, that was what she did. And that was part of why she wanted to dive into learning magic and at least some sort of self-defense. Having others fight your battles for you is humiliating after a lifetime of doing so on your own.
She watches him stub out his cigarette, somehow unsurprised he's using the furniture and not just pinching out the end of the cigarette. Does he not have any respect for public property? Sarah turns her attention back to her pen and much like a student fiddling away their hours in class, she slides the instrument through her fingers with a practiced sort of ease. An advanced fiddling gesture, if you will.]
If that's the case you may want to think about taking some people with you. You may have been given the task but I'm sure there are a few here that wouldn't mind talking to the wolf as well if they can. Or if they can't you may be able to get their questions to the wolf answered for them instead. Judging by the ones who spoke during the audience and most of the others I've met, almost everyone here has some fighting experience. So you would be doing each other a favor in a way.
[He's probably already thought of all of this so her words are casually said. It's possible he even had a group of friends here already he can call on. She hums a little, thinking on what she would ask if she had the chance.
What's on her mind first and foremost is how they could help the wolves themselves. They're gods in this place, yes, but if this place is dying and the Emperor intends to abandon it to continue to die, what becomes of the gods of this world then? It's like the Labyrinth collapsing and the hundreds of lives that would be taken with it if it did while Jareth stood and shrugged his shoulders, bastard that he was in the end. The Emperor did intend to take their subjects with them but there were more than just them here - the Gods for one and who knew what else.
They didn't deserve that sort of death anymore than those in the Labyrinth had.]
