Moro's pack could speak, and well too could all the forest, but what use were words? That she ran the city and river and ship in silence was not taxing. She was, despite herself, very human. One thing humans did as well or better than any else was adapt; and so she fund herself adapting until she could hear the fluids in Stacy's hull shift and know someone was coming, or knew by the echoes of feet on cobble who came. She ran many mock-hunts, poised to strike down crew-mates and passengers, but never took the leap.
She knew the blood-restlessness of the Garou, even without that other-body within. So, when she paced through the obs deck on one of her rare forays into shares shipspace, San noticed Tony's state of mind in the curve of spine and the cant of his breathing, without having to ask.
"It doesn't have to be a burden," she shouted at him or it seemed a shout, in the relative quiet. Then again, San always spoke stridently, even when she was being silent, "Just because it's heavy."
