[What does one say to a story like that? Silence after is to be expected and she takes a quiet breath, glad that Kieran is not lingering. She would not have her son hearing such things.]

I have heard the stories of the Dread Wolf, much as I have seen the statues. And I would never hear a word of this story near my son. [It's not harsh enough to be a warning, just a gentle reminder. Boys are boys but that...that is too grisly for her liking.]

A part of me finds such a tale difficult to believe though clans are said to vary much depending on where they hail from but such talk sounds not unlike the lurid stories some humans have painted of the Dalish, the sacrificing babies to demons sort of stories. It seems some of them may yet be true. What sort of prisoner would be subjected to this sort of punishment?
