"He's the spirit of winter, actually, not fall." Ben raises an eyebrow. So, it's an Earth term. Reynard the Fox. "If there's a fall spirit, I haven't met them yet, but the closer we get to winter there's more chance he'll appear. Reynard wanted to know about my relationship with the past, and how I was controlling my emotions. Dyane wanted to know about my relationship with Rey. Neither one really seemed to notice that they were making me uncomfortable, but Reynard said he wanted me to succeed."

He chuckles a little. "Multiple people have seen a wolf in me. I've met the Fenris-wolf once - a legendary wolf of mythological size and strength. In legend, he was deceived and bound because the gods feared his power, and at the end of time he'd break free and help destroy the world. The stories were exaggerated, apparently...but not by too much."
