"Excellent," she said, giving Luma a nod. "You may stay, then. So, as a werewolf, what role does violence play in your life? Especially if a line is drawn at killing sapient beings? The werewolves I know back home kill people as a matter of course, for a number of different reasons. Do you have a moral reason for avoiding murder, or is it simply to avoid the hassle of cleaning up after it. Does it bother you that your sister - who is not a werewolf - has proven to be more ruthless than you are?"

And to Eleanor, she added, "Would you say your moral outlook differs from Luma's? Or do you both generally feel the same way for the same reasons, but your circumstances have differed enough that you've had to take steps she did not or could not?"
