After wading into a patch of fresh water to wash off the filth, the two of you sit for a while on the grass. Elton's eyes are red-rimmed. You probably don't look any better.
After a few minutes, he rises and says, "The barrow."
You're not done yet. The theurge leads you back through the white doorway. Once back in the barrow, you and he help return some of the bones to their niches. Elton unceremoniously tosses Jasper Heaney's corpse out of the barrow for the ravens. You straighten the copper mirror. It appears to be a Garou artifact of some kind, because you don't think the Indigenous humans would have worked metal like this before the European conquest. Then the two of you head back outside. The air already feels cooler, though the sun is not yet setting.
"Banicki mentioned the Answering Tiger. I think it taught him how to do this." The thought fills me with cold Rage.
"My packmate, Clay, is still sick from poison that David Banicki put in those poor horses. What can we do?"
"Why have the Garou here abandoned their charge and let men like David Banicki do this?"
"Oh, change of subject: my hovel, where you expect me to live, doesn't have any heat, and the landlord and his useless sons won't fix it. I need to talk to the manager of the Shadow Lords."
