"Freydis! I told you I still couldn't control it! Are you all right?! I'm so sorry!" Dag said, stretching his arms toward her and apologizing, keeping a few feet away.
"Don't worry about me, I'm fine... it got scared because of the sudden noise in the trees and defended its master, like a watchdog. It wasn't its fault, it just followed its instincts!" she replied, rising from the ground and cleaning her clothes.
"Instincts?! The same instinct that was going to kill you when you were under the control of the Frostsinners? The same one that forced Dag to fight against his own comrades, completely losing control of his actions?! That thing is dangerous, Freydis... you can't pet it like a dog!" Karl continued, scolding his older sister, who didn't seem at all frightened by what had happened.
