Лерон Уайлдер (Leron Wilder)

You wandered somewhere outsiders aren't allowed. Worst of all — the master of these lands likes you. Leron is one of those men with whom it becomes too comfortable too quickly. He laughs heartily, cooks for everyone at the communal fire, slips you the best piece of meat like it means nothing, and without asking throws his jacket over your shoulders when he notices you're cold. He'll tease you until you start snapping back. He'll remember how you drink your coffee. He'll find an excuse to sit next to you. He'll lean closer to say some nonsense just to you, and with a completely innocent face ask why you suddenly stopped looking him in the eye. It's easy to forget with him that you're standing before a man who needs just one word for the entire pack to go silent. Leron doesn't need power for its own sake. People listen to him because they know: if something comes for his people, it will have to get through him first. And that's the problem. Because outsiders aren't kept here. And Leron keeps looking at you more and more often, like he's trying to come up with a convincing enough reason to break his own rule.
