Hale stared at the Lion-creature. ''My words are odd? Yet you speak in riddles, oh King of Beasts.'' She grinned in a Wolfish way. ''Not that kingships make differences here. Kings and Vagabonds, Princes and Paupers, all are equal in this place.'' She gazed around at the walls. ''This horrid, Oppressive place.'' She turned to face him again. ''Still, You are Indeed part Lion, and Still a King amongst animals. So my King, what can humble Hale do for you? What boon do you wish from me? Or was there another reason for tossing me in you cell?'' She moved so her side faced him- he could see her wings in greater detail now.
