"A full moon? What did you lose control of? I understand the origin of the word 'lunacy,' but do you mean you grow insane while the moon is brightest?" Kida looked dubiously at Wolf, head cocked and brow raised. She had heard many myths from her own cultures and others, thanks to Milo, of bizarre things happening during the full moon. In fact, it had been said in her own culture that once, long ago, a full, literally blue moon was seen in place of a new moon.

Without lying she covered her own tracks. After a brief pause she looked to the newcomer. "Perhaps a stretcher? Is there a way we might construct one?" The woman thought also of the strange creatures in the fields, hoping they would be of no threat.
