Or even if that works, they might randomly one day pop up with "I really love you, you know?" and inadvertently murder him.
Because that's something dating partners do.
Pretty sure this is canon. Even when she was alone in the forest, she could randomly find food. The WN also stated that the original reason why the humans (and her parents) find her creepy is because anyone who tries to hurt her gets hurt by accident.
Wait, I think we are getting different impressions of what the sub-commander units were capable of and that is the difference in our assessment. The ice-wolf (or even the giant) being able to freeze an entire town or affect large portions of weather without being the Winter Lord does not seem...
What part did I miss? The only point I didn't directly address is that part about baiting them into a mundane attack, which is covered by the last line. Ice/Water themed magical attacks are better resisted from stone fortifications than a wooden palisade.
