ADwD 4: Bran 68

Bran, Hodor, Meera, Jojen and Summer are following the strange zombie Coldhands through the forest looking for a three-eyed crow. They're running out of food and Jojen is getting weaker. I'm not sure if we know the reason why; I don't remember Jojen getting injured or anything but it's been a while.

Coldhands goes off to find some bad guys who are nearby and sends the children away to take shelter in an abandoned village. Bran takes telepathic control of Summer and finds some dead Watchmen being eaten by another wolf, none other than Varamyr Sixskins who now permanently inhabits his wolf's body now that his human body is dead. They win a fight and then Summer/Bran have a taste of human flesh too.

At this point I don't understand the mechanics of wargs well enough to predict what will happen. Bran is seemingly unperturbed about tasting human flesh. Varamyr's pack have seemingly joined Summer but I don't know if wolf-Varamyr is more wolf-like or more human-like at this point so I can't tell how likely he is to betray them.
