Manipulating greedy wolves and witches were his forte, he didn't have to push twice for Mannequin to lift the barrier around Marina's compound. When he rang the bell, it was purely out of courtesy he would have entered the compound easily if he needed.
He wished it was Marina really, hoping that she would be the first wolf to realize who he was, after all, on the day of the attack, he saw her last. But now, eating breakfast with Marina as he stared from one person to another with their eyes glued at Marina as if she had grown three heads, he knew he was long gone.
No one remembered him, no one knew who he was and as much as it could have been fun to play with their feelings, he didn't want to. He wished Rinzler would jump across the table and tell him, "hello, I have missed you."
