"Ask many people, and you will get many different answers.  Does she want to see humans harmed?  No.  She loves humans, and has changed us all that we may, too, love humans.  That is the curse for us, that we may burn with the hollow flame of desire---to find a beautiful man, and make him our mate, and raise beautiful children.  This is how we are.  We too love humans, it is part of our seasons, as sure as the sun and moons."

She begins combing her leg fur, shaking out the loosening hairs. "But we may only bear our own children.  No humans are born from us, and the Dark Flame that is within us all gradually changes a man, and changes his mind and body.  He becomes strong, and hale, and his mind is turned from the thoughts of before to one that loves us without a broken promise.  We never leave our husbands, and if a man is truly our husband, he never leaves us, and this thing is known to all be-la'tokk, that they do not take our husbands from us."

She pauses, looking down.

"There are humans who would see us killed, for they believe we take their flames from them.  My people were hunted thus, and driven to ground, and killed, and the rest bribed with soft beds and gold, and there sold our way for glittering things and no future."

She continues to wash herself.
