For a character who has only appeared in two completed stories this 
Kuna certainly has left an impression on you!  Glad to know that you 
enjoyed this section!

I figure that he's still got some sense of his humanity in there and 
how improper it is to run on all fours!

I didn't know about the long canines.  I will have to amend the 
description some.  Thanks for noting that!

*chuckles* And since this character has since left Metamor he can't 
tell anybody about it!

Thank you, Alex!  I'm so glad that you enjoyed it!  I hope that 
Hallan's stuff is going well too; I'm eager to read his next tale as well!

May He bless you and keep you in His grace and love,
