Re: That Version Of Me
Posted: Tue Aug 14, 2018 10:57 pm"Why is that?"
Re: That Version Of Me
Posted: Tue Aug 14, 2018 11:13 pm"I went... a little deep during the chase. It's just taking longer to get... balanced again. You're safe," she says, smiling.
Re: That Version Of Me
Posted: Tue Aug 14, 2018 11:14 pm"What do you need to get, uh, balanced?"
Re: That Version Of Me
Posted: Tue Aug 14, 2018 11:19 pm"So far it's a lot of being surly in the woods."

Re: That Version Of Me
Posted: Tue Aug 14, 2018 11:23 pm"...What was Isolde's advice?"
Re: That Version Of Me

Re: That Version Of Me
Posted: Tue Aug 14, 2018 11:33 pm"Tried it but it didn't help?"
Re: That Version Of Me
Posted: Tue Aug 14, 2018 11:40 pm"I don't think she wanted to explain it to the groundskeepers."
Re: That Version Of Me
Posted: Tue Aug 14, 2018 11:43 pm"Raw wild game is... not appetizing, regardless of what the wolf thinks."
Re: That Version Of Me
Posted: Tue Aug 14, 2018 11:46 pm"I mean," Will said, carefully. "Couldn't you....compromise? You wouldn't have to eat what you caught. Human hunters don't just eat right in the middle of the field; they bring their prize bucks back home. Maybe the wolf would...accept a trade-off, there?"
Re: That Version Of Me
Posted: Wed Aug 15, 2018 12:10 am"Maybe, but I'm not sure I like the idea of killing just to kill."
Re: That Version Of Me
Posted: Wed Aug 15, 2018 12:13 am"Maybe we could do a jam session, get the emotions out another way."
Re: That Version Of Me
Posted: Wed Aug 15, 2018 12:16 am"Have to see when Viv's available. She's working at a restaurant in town now."
Re: That Version Of Me
Posted: Wed Aug 15, 2018 12:19 am"We could also go out to the woods," Will said quietly. "And find you something you could hunt, but not kill."
Re: That Version Of Me
Posted: Wed Aug 15, 2018 1:19 am"What are you suggesting?"
Re: That Version Of Me
Posted: Wed Aug 15, 2018 1:21 am"If, uh...
I mean, this might be a really stupid idea and you should tell me if it's a stupid idea and I won't suggest it again.
...But, uh, if this all started with hunting down a, well, a Will, maybe...uh, that is to say..."

Re: That Version Of Me
Posted: Wed Aug 15, 2018 1:44 am"...Will, is this something you feel like you need for things to be square between us?"
Re: That Version Of Me
Posted: Wed Aug 15, 2018 1:52 am"I'm more worried about Tereza feeling normal at the moment, more than anything else," she said, not directly answering the question.
Re: That Version Of Me
Posted: Wed Aug 15, 2018 2:09 pm"No offense, but the last thing that smelled like you that I chased tried to kill me. And while I don't think you'd do the same, I'm not sure I could make her see reason once she gets on the scent. That's part of the problem. I let her have full control."
Re: That Version Of Me
Posted: Wed Aug 15, 2018 5:21 pm"That's fair. It was just a suggestion," Will said, quickly.
Re: That Version Of Me
Posted: Wed Aug 15, 2018 5:26 pm"Under other circumstances, I'd happily chase you through the woods, Will."
Re: That Version Of Me
Posted: Wed Aug 15, 2018 5:33 pm"If you say so, I'm sure it's true," she nodded.
Re: That Version Of Me
Posted: Wed Aug 15, 2018 5:47 pm"You want to talk about what happened? I know it rather swept us both up."
Re: That Version Of Me
Posted: Wed Aug 15, 2018 6:11 pm"You mean I swept you up."
Re: That Version Of Me
Posted: Wed Aug 15, 2018 6:18 pm"I mean it didn't feel... bad or anything, to be that in-tune with you."
Re: That Version Of Me
Posted: Wed Aug 15, 2018 7:56 pm"It didn't look like it was all good," she says quietly.
Re: That Version Of Me
Posted: Wed Aug 15, 2018 7:57 pm"I think it was mostly that it was... well, sudden."
Re: That Version Of Me
Posted: Wed Aug 15, 2018 8:48 pm"Sudden how?"
Re: That Version Of Me
Posted: Wed Aug 15, 2018 9:10 pm"She just... needed me very suddenly. Called on me. And then it dropped off just as suddenly."
Re: That Version Of Me
Posted: Wed Aug 15, 2018 11:02 pm"She's dancing around the fact that that need manifested as her shapeshifting into a wolf."
Re: That Version Of Me
Posted: Wed Aug 15, 2018 11:08 pm"I mean, is that...not good?" Will asked, confused. "Two wolves working together?"
Re: That Version Of Me
Posted: Wed Aug 15, 2018 11:09 pm"It's not a problem. It's just how she needed me right then."
Re: That Version Of Me
Posted: Wed Aug 15, 2018 11:10 pm"That's the good thing about being a shifter. You can be whatever your partner needs at the moment. It's natural."
Re: That Version Of Me
Posted: Wed Aug 15, 2018 11:28 pm"It felt like I was forcing her to some extent."
Re: That Version Of Me
Posted: Thu Aug 16, 2018 12:52 am"And what's wrong with that? Does Sam mind? Have you asked her?"
Re: That Version Of Me
Posted: Thu Aug 16, 2018 2:17 pm"We've not really... talked about it much."
Re: That Version Of Me
Posted: Thu Aug 16, 2018 4:02 pm"Then maybe I should go so the two of you can talk," Will said, after a moment, hopping off the bed.
