A wild stalenger appears
Sita listened to Ben and Sapphire, interrogating the floating creature at gunpoint with scarcely any introduction or preamble, and she grew disturbed. Was this why the group hadn't confronted her yet, about being a werewolf? Because they'd all made some kind of cold mental calculus, about how she was "useful" to them for now, despite being a "potential hostile"? A furry weapon that they could take advantage of, until they decided to discard it later?
I am more than that, she thought, examining the starfish. And maybe you are, too.
She stepped in front of Ben's pointed weapon again, and this time didn't let him readjust his aim to keep her out of the way. "Pardon me for interrupting, but there is something much more urgent than answering these questions. This young woman", she gestured toward Fraulein Marlen, "needs us to rescue her father. Right away. Which might also, in the end, lead us to . . . well, savIng the entire world."
She looked at the floating creature. "Would you like to join us? It would give you the chance to answer their questions in greater depth, as we traveled, and also give you a chance to help us save many lives, if that's of interest to you."
Say yes, she thought hopefully. Show them you're more than just a tool or a weapon.
