Despite the introduction of Nora the shepherd girl, Horo still manages to steal the show despite having a few long periods of silence - Again, the characterisation of everyone's favourite wolf girl proffers a beautiful mix of emotions and reactions that sit somewhere between betraying her thoughts and feelings and masking them expertly. I have to be honest, I wasn't too taken with Horo in early episodes of this series, but I've now warmed to her hugely, warts and all.
Given the slow, luxurious pace of this episode there isn't a lot more to say beyond mentioning my enjoyment at once again getting to enjoy Lawrence and Horo's chit-chat and verbal sparring largely without interruption, although if you're after some more action-packed moments it certainly seems as though something is amiss in Rubinheigen. It's odd, I'm normally the first to complain if any show lumbers along with a slow plot, but in this case I'm beginning to revel in it, although it shall be interesting to see what transpires next.
