Bear returned to Frop's district with a large basket of fruit and assorted Havenworlder-friendly treats. She took one look at Frop's expression, put the basket down, and backed away with her hands in the air. "I come in peace," she said. "I was worried about you, so... I got some get-better gifts."
"You are a trained killer," said Frop.
"Tamed killer. There's a difference." She attempted to think of one. "It's like the gap between having a guard dog and keeping a wolf. One's trained to attack, and the other has hunting in its genes. Fortunately, I'm a bit more congenial than a wolf."
