Chapitre 12: Chapter 12: Healer, Part 1

Cemal had once seen a feral dog and cat fight over a dropped scrap of fowl in the street. They'd hissed, snarled, bit, and scratched because they were both hungry and afraid and mistrusting. Because they had not known any better, had not realized that if they worked together, they might have gotten far more than a forgotten, rotting scrap of meat.

Sule and Mahzan reminded him of that dog and cat, but unlike those poor starving animals, they were amusing to watch—fierce and stormy, but also stubborn and contrary.
