Konik couldn’t stand the wild rabbits.

He didn’t talk to Eira about it. But if he had tried, he would have said that they were riotous and godless, that they were also perhaps in some inexplicable way dangerous. Who could say for certain that rabbits would never grow fangs and claws? He’d heard the wild rabbits hissing like lynxes; they’d probably start howling like wolves next.
