I narrow my eyes at him. "Used how, exactly?"

He blinks at me before he slams the metal doors shut with a loud echo, closing me in the darkness until my eyes adjust and a tiny sliver of light makes its way into my current tiny prison. It doesn't take long bef Teiran," I hear someone say in a greeting before a pause, “Well shit, what do we have here?"

"The wolf." Teiran says, an air of boredom in his voice.
