Lorne gently dissuaded Pehj from nibbling too enthusiastically, keeping the goat's mouth where he could see it. In the future, he'll try to remember to bring some treats. As far as growing up, Lorne only wonders what Wilde has seen in his time away from home. Or perhaps he was always bound to mellow.

"Opportunistic mostly. Some focus on the oddballs in town; anyone who sticks out tends to get more attention," Lorne explained. Such as Tuo. "I think it's boredom, and the rabble aren't satisfied with cards or music. Hopefully the snow will keep them all too busy and too tired to bother anyone."

It's wishful thinking, and it won't get in the way of his vigilance.
