Hmmm … I would say the scion - because its divine blood we are talking
about here.

Just MHO

This raises another question. Would that same scion of Reynir be able
to use his ability on the Awnshegh “the Wolf?”

For this I would say no, since the awnshegh is not a natural creature
(methinks that Animal Affinity only applies to influence over the
natural world).
