<p class="MsoNormal">When the party arrived at the door, Julian was
still
standing before it dutifully, and he nodded when he saw Lucy
approaching.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>He seemed
surprised that she had brought both
Balrog and Alex with her, but he nodded at her brief explanation.<span
style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>He offered to remain outside
while they spoke
with the amnesiac ermine, since the two of them had only met at
the very
beginning of the patrol.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>Lucy
agreed,
and then slipped into the room before the others.<span
style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>She returned shortly
thereafter and beckoned
to the others before disappearing inside the small cell once
again.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The three others stepped in behind her.<span
style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>While the room was small, it
was large enough
to fit a bed in the far corner, and that gave them just enough
room to fit four
people in the floor space without being too cramped.<span
style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>The ermine stood to meet them
as they
entered, the spare robe he wore making him look more like a
scholar than a
warrior.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>He looked at
everyone present
with a touch of cautious hope, but there was no immediate
recognition on his
face.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">A few moments passed in uncomfortable silence
before Lucy
spoke up.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">“You do not recognize any of them?” she asked,
looking to
Lois.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">He frowned severely and shook his head.<span
style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>“I was hoping I would, but I
do not recall
any of you, I am sorry,” he replied.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes">
</span>He
glanced to each of their faces in turn once more, but there was no
change in
his fortunes.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Alex stepped forward slowly, a look of
confusion on his
face.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>“Weren’t you… taller
before?” he
asked in utter confusion.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Lucy found the question odd, but she discovered
as she
looked at Lois that the lynx was absolutely correct.<span
style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>She had not thought to even
check for
something as odd as what he now suggested, but she remembered that
Lois had
stood a full head taller than her commander.<span
style="mso-spacerun:yes">
</span>Now, although the weasel clearly stood as straight as he
could, he was
still a half head shorter than his commander.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">With that unexpected revelation, however, Lucy
began to
notice other things as well.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">“Your muzzle is also more pronounced, and your
neck is longer…”<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>She
squinted, surprised as she noticed more
and more that seemed off about his bearing.<span
style="mso-spacerun:yes">
</span>“It’s almost as though your human proportions have been
completely
replaced by those of an ermine!”<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">“What are you saying?” Lois asked, his voice
lacking any of
the confidence that he had ever shown since their first meeting.<span
style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>He seemed genuinely
frightened.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">“Is it possible that we might have failed to
completely
revert him?” Balrog asked Lucy.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Lucy shook her head resolutely.<span
style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>“No!<span
style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>I
am certain that we fully reversed the spell on him!”<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">“I am standing right here,” Lois snapped.<span
style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>“Speak to me; what are you
talking about?”<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">“Whatever spell was on you before seems to have
had some
lingering effects,” Lucy replied, leveling a cool stare on him for
his
outburst.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>He barely
noticed.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">“No!<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>I
am a man!<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>I am no animal,
no creature to be bantered
about with no regard to its own feelings!”<span
style="mso-spacerun:yes">
</span>He took deep, heaving breaths.<span
style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>“I
am no ermine; I am a man!”<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The outburst caught the others off guard.<span
style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>Balrog stepped forward
resolutely.<br style="mso-special-character:line-break">
<!--[if !supportLineBreakNewLine]--><br
style="mso-special-character:line-break">
<!--[endif]--><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">“Calm yourself, Lois,” he spoke softly.<span
style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>“We are friends; no one means
you any harm.”<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">“Then speak of me as a friend, not as of some
animal in a
cage!”<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>The former assassin
leveled a
poisonous glare at the disguised lutin, but it was the shaking
ermine who took
a faltering step back towards the bed.<span
style="mso-spacerun:yes">
</span>He hissed quietly and bowed his head a moment later, his
eyes darting
away from those that stood in the center of the small space.<span
style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>“I am sorry, this is too
early,” he
muttered.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>“I do not think
I am ready for
visitors.”<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The few assembled glanced among themselves, but
Balrog took
a single step forward.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>“Is
it all right
if I speak with you for a little while at least?<span
style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>Privately?”<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Lois looked at him warily.<span
style="mso-spacerun:yes">
</span>The man’s intimidating size made him seem threatening, but
the kind
demeanor and careful, measured tones with which he spoke made the
ermine feel
that he could trust him.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>He
looked to
the others briefly, but quickly returned his eyes to the large
man.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">“Privately,” he confirmed.<span
style="mso-spacerun:yes">
</span>“I don’t want anyone listening in.”<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The others nodded, and began to file out
slowly, leaving the
two friends to speak by themselves.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">*<span style="mso-tab-count:1"> </span>*<span
style="mso-tab-count:1"> </span>*<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Alex caught Lucy’s arm as they exited the room,
ignoring the
evident confusion on Julian’s face as he saw them leave so soon
after their
entrance.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">“Is it wise to trust the two of them alone?” he
asked once
they were a few steps away from the moondog.<span
style="mso-spacerun:yes">
</span>“We don’t know if Lois’ allegiances remain unaltered, and
we have barely
known Balrog.”<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Lucy nodded to his words.<span
style="mso-spacerun:yes">
</span>“It is a bit of a risk, I agree, but I am inclined to
believe that
Balrog’s intentions are good.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>I
never
thought I would say as much about a lutin myself, but he has
already risen
above any preconception I held against his people.<span
style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>Nothing that he has done
seems suspicious at
all to me so far.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>It is
his commander
that worries me, honestly.”<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The lynx winced.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes">
</span>“He
has been acting strange since before you even broke the spell.<span
style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>Do you have any idea what he
might be after?”<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Lucy shrugged.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes">
</span>She
glanced at Julian, but he was dutifully guarding the door and did
not seem at
all interested in the subject of their conversation.<span
style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>“I am suspicious of him, but
what I have
heard from him could simply be well-founded concerns based on
Lois’ past.”<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Her commander looked uncertain.<span
style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>“He gave no indication of
knowing who Lois
was on the first day.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>His
arguments did
not even begin until our second day working together.”<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">“You are right, of course,” Lucy admitted.<span
style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>“The question is, what
happened between the
two days to so thoroughly alter his demeanor?”<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">“Perhaps nothing.”<span
style="mso-spacerun:yes">
</span>Alex’s voice carried a clear note of frustration to it as
he made the
suggestion.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>“For all of
the arguments
that he has made, he has also been quite helpful at times, even
since our
second day of efforts.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>It
is possible
that there had simply been no specific opportunity presented for
him to express
his concerns before the second day.”<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Lucy shook her head and paced a few steps to
one side.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>“That doesn’t
seem right,” she muttered.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>“If
he knew about Lois’ past before it seems
to me that he would have objected to the idea of helping him at
all from the
beginning.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>Perhaps Balrog
only told him
about Lois’ past recently.”<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">“That seems rather an odd time to choose to
reveal something
that could change a man’s opinion so thoroughly counter to your
interests,” the
patrol commander commented.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">“I did have one other theory,” Lucy confided,
lowering her
voice even further.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>The
lynx prompted
her with little more than a raise eyebrow.<span
style="mso-spacerun:yes">
</span>“That power he claims, the one that led his company to
Outpost at the
start.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>Perhaps he received
some
revelation from it instead?”<br
style="mso-special-character:line-break">
<!--[if !supportLineBreakNewLine]--><br
style="mso-special-character:line-break">
<!--[endif]--><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Scratching his chin, the lynx nodded slowly.<span
style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>“It is possible.<span
style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>Why would it bring him here
to help us, and
then place such a thing in his mind, though?”<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Lucy shrugged broadly and shook her head.<span
style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>“I do not claim to know
anything about the
workings of the supernatural,” she admitted.<span
style="mso-spacerun:yes">
</span>“I may serve the pantheon, but even their ways elude me
more often than
I would care to admit.”<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">“Well, we can at least take precautions even if
we are not
certain of the cause,” he concluded.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes">
</span>“As
far as I am concerned, there is no reason for him to need to speak
with Lois at
all.”<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Lucy agreed wordlessly.<span
style="mso-spacerun:yes">
</span>“Unfortunately, I doubt that he will ask our permission
before trying
anything.”<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">“Then there is nothing to do but keep Lois
under
watch.”<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>He rubbed his
muzzle a moment
before changing the subject.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>“Do
you
have any idea what might have caused Lois’ form to be altered?”<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">“No more idea than I have of why Lois was
trapped as an animal
at all,” Lucy explained ruefully.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes">
</span>“Nothing has made sense magically since our investigation
began, so it
surprises me only slightly that we have found yet another oddity.”<span
style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>She shook her head slowly.<span
style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>“I can always examine him
again later if it
makes any difference.”<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">“I just don’t want to be surprised when
something else
happens.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>I’ve had enough
surprises
already on this patrol.”<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The mage nodded.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes">
</span>“I
will look at him after Balrog has finished speaking with him,
then,” she
decided.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The lynx nodded, but then his gaze was drawn to
where the
moondog was standing.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>Beside
him was a
short man, his Cursed form that of a large chipmunk.<span
style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>Both of them were looking
towards Lucy and Alex,
and the lynx’s heart sank.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
