[A selfless love even, to risk a higher price for the security of keeping someone safe.
Well, then!
She smiled and stepped back, let her hand drop.]
Then I have just the thing. [She pulled out a small bottle with a pale coloured potion.] Drink.
[The potion, when he uncorks has a smell like an evening in the woods, wet and damp...but overlaid over that, a smell like a memory, something beloved or dear.
Drinking it will put him into a trance though he will not realize that is what it is. Then an illusion: evening turning to day, wolf features fading into human...covered in blood. His worst nightmare come to life: someone he cared, wounded because of him.
A tear would be enough, but it is not the only thing she can catch in the bottle. She will have to see what this will yield.
She explains none of this though she may elaborate, if he refused or if eh asked. Maybe.]
