Except she says "wild" instead of "wire". I agree with Vin. I don't know why she wrote "wild" instead of "wire". The line doesn't really make sense to me. How do you walk ON the wild? You can walk IN the wild or THROUGH the wild. If you're writing a fantasy, you can walk OVER the wild if you're a witch that's levitating, or you can walk UNDER the wild and it's like something out of a Jules Verne novel...
