aren't werewolves chimera?

Or feral pooka?

Then again, outside of WW and, say, Twilight, most werewolf movies and such show them just as humans who turn into monsters, not wolves - monsters - humans - monsters - wolves

Hehe!

In the dreaming, it may well be werewolf chimera of any sort ^_^

IIRC - Tanner and Panther DON'T know who Miriam is?

Right

Tanner knows she's someone's Mom.

That's it.

It would be an easy guess that she's a relative, given that both Hirim and Z are seeking her -even if nothing else known

true

It did occur to Ice Hirim could have been subverted.

But it wouldn't matter, nothing they could do.

-floop-

That the look he gave Ice was something else.

But. Nothing could be done if it were.

More likely to cast doubt, which they didn't need, he figured. But, thanks, Panther!

I'm answering NOTHING so it won't ruin it!

Ice: He heads out with Zara, if she comes with, but conversation will remain here for ST to peruse on return?
Ice: Once they are out, he stops a distance away, and rasps to her in Hebrew

-peeks into firnost again- Still just IM and Roxanne.... siiiiiiigh

Hiyeeeee!

Yup. Though I did think about Sinistre coming out to help with the decorations. Senile sluagh are fun.

THANKS Ice.

oy

L He wonders if HE messed up, misread.

Hirim is Hirm

Yes, but Hirim can't remember everything. And too many inconsistencies for Ice.

Remember, he trusts nothing.

Doesn't matter - Ice has gotten Zara in a situation where she has no choices left

So she just has to take the risk.

nod He would have been happy hearing. "No, I am not sure if it was Patchworm or not", or "Yes, I am positive it was Patchworm because...(logical reason)."

she SAID it was patchworm

She SAID it was Balor at first. G

Only after meeting Patchworm did it become Patchworm, he thought.

she said it was Balor before they WENT

Exactly.

that it might be balor

that it was a snake, and she made a guess

it WAS a snake

Yep

it DID have Hirim

But it doesn't preclude it ALSO being Balor.

no winning against paranoia

You can convince me, you can't convince Ice.

He's careful. Very careful.

Take the worst case scenario, and prepare for THAT.

Worst case: Miriam is there willingly, is in bedlam, and sees them all as enemies?

Because Zara is planning for that
