When I asked Levi to guide us to the human settlement she'd mentioned, she admitted:
"The human village is rather distant, even if we ran. But—I can take us there using a ripple gate."
"You can use ripple gates as regular transport?" I raised a brow.
"Indeed," she replied. "But I need a general image of the place in my mind. Otherwise, I can't set a fixed destination."
"Got it," I said. "But why didn't you mention this earlier? You had us prepared to walk the whole way, yesterday."
Levi answered flatly, "I was hoping to go lovey-dovey with you. Something like walking for miles holding hands."
Then she glanced over her shoulder at the crowd behind her and clicked her tongue.
"Tsk. That plan crumbled the moment these mutts showed up."
Annoying as it is that I almost fell for her scheme, I suddenly felt grateful for the existence of the Specter Wolves.
That said, Levi couldn't take us anything around ten miles or more with the ripple gate right now.
