... Daine? comes a distinctly sleepy response.
I'm still a two-legger, right? she asks, her tone urgent.
Yes, Molly replies, sounding puzzled.
Daine sags a little, immensely relieved. If either of you notice me starting to change, bite me, she orders them.
Bite you? Sarge repeats, sounding distressed by the thought.
Whatever you have to do to wake me up, okay? It's important.
The dogs agree, albeit reluctantly. It'll have to do. Daine raises her head, grinning. "We're dreaming," she informs Andrew. "We're definitely dreaming."
