Locke's dark eyes were filled with concern for his friend. "I would guess it's a terrible shock to your system, just being dragged here..."

Her blue-grey eyes narrowed to snake-like slits as she looked at Locke. "Maverick's behind all of this?" She growled as a wolf and started in the direction of town.
He sighed and stopped her with one arm. "Chani, c'mon. I understand, you've made yourself a life away from here and you're probably missing it terribly and this is in no way shape or form fair to you. But going and beating Maverick to a sodding pulp isn't going to get you out of here any faster."
