"By the way, when do you exactly um… transform into a wolf?" Sophie asked Nicholas while they were in the forest, looking for wolfsbane. "If it's an iffy question, you can choose not to answer it."
"Well, I've learned how to control my transformations," Nicholas said. "In the beginning, I would shift whenever I was so angry and emotional. But now I can control myself better."
"I see." Sophie mused silently as the two of them passed by some bushes. Every now and then, the two of them stopped to look at all the plants and check if one of them matched with the almanac that Nicholas brought.
The two of them were currently searching in the woods for the wolfsbane, but it was taking them a lot of time. It seemed like the immediate area around Sophie's home was free from wolfsbane. It was quite strange because according to the almanac there should be wolfsbanes in this area.
