"Now this is a good start. Thank you much!" he said, practically tearing off the lid of the tin to get at the cookies inside.

"Yeah, not a lie at all - just a lie of omission. Goin' to campus in mah belly," he grinned, picking one up. Holding it under his nose, he inhaled deeply, savoring the aroma of fresh-baked chocolate.

"You know, I think I could live in a bakery. Just, like, 100% of the time, with all the wonderful smells in the air and the lovely things to eat. Maybe I'll start one up one day when everything's done and finished."

"Mmph?" he said, now with a mouthful of cookie.

"Well, I mean. Yes. Yes it did. Does, I suppose. But it's yet to really...come up, as it were. I mean, I'm not that old. Not really.

...Well, I am that old, but most of that time doesn't count."

He chewed as he thought. "It's...I haven't really lost anyone yet. Not for good, anyway. So maybe that's when it will hit the most."

Will carefully chewed his cookies. "That she might," he said, noncommittally. "Werewolves don't follow natural aging curves, I'd gather."

"Oh, man, I wish. That'd seem like a great adventure. But you probably mean the kind that lures children in and gets a bunch of nasty fairy tales written about them, with cutting off of toes and chopping hands and grinding bones to make bread and all that. I'll take the Disney versions, thanky.

Bit her. Honestly. The things some people will do."

"People aren't for biting! I mean, yes, great that Tereza has had her inner whatchamacallit let out and feels freer and more in tune with everything, and the world could always use more shifters. But geez, like, a nature class or some meditation might have helped just as much without the gnashing of sharp pointy teeth," Will chuckled, biting 'savagely' into a cookie for emphasis.

"Oh god, don't tell me that's what I'm going to be like when I get old and grey. Always complaining about how you young whippersnappers don't do things like they did in my day, where we burned witches at the stake and cut off our big toes to fit in fancy shoes."

"Well, don't put me in the grave quite yet; I'm still young at heart. And probably at kidneys and liver too, when I can be bothered.

And green's just an affectation, anyhoo. You saw me all grey and squishy in that box over there."

"True, though cause and effect don't always have a one-to-one correlation here," WIll said, chomping down on another cookie and letting himself swell to comically large muscular proportions as an example.

"But I know what you mean. Sara used to tell me that whenever I would visit home, I'd look a good ten years younger. People around us and expectations really do shape what we look like, don't they?"

"I've taken a lot of dance. I've done modern, but there's also some embarrassing photos of me in a step dance get up."

"Embarrassing photos, you say?"
