[This evening has gone weird. Not bad, but definitely weird. It's fine, the desired end is being achieved. Nadine isn't thinking about how screwed up her life is, and Jaskier isn't drinking himself into a state of oblivion.]
That sounds about right. Most of the old fairy tales have wolves as the bad guy. If you believe those, wolves pretty much don't do anything aside from lay in wait for poor humans to savage and eat. Or sometimes dress up like grandmas.
[A laugh follows that. Little Red Riding Hood had never made much sense to Nadine - how could anyone think a wolf was a little old lady? But it gives her an idea - Jaskier does like stories.]
There's even a real story about a giant wolf that menaced a town for years. There were historic records and everything. The beast of Gevaudan. Some people claimed it was a monster and not a wolf at all, it just looked like one. They say it killed over a hundred people and no one knows if it was ever stopped or if it just went somewhere else to hunt.
