Xaviers!

"You used the tools and only your fingers to select one meat strip at a time. They seem perfectly acceptable and within the modern human terms of etiquette." She smiled back, perfectly straight pearly whites.

"We worry about manners less when we're on all fours anyway," Tereza said as she came back out to the living area pulling on a t-shirt declaring that the t-shirt contained 'some content that some viewers may find disturbing'.

"It all depends on who's company you are keeping when the meal is brought down."

"Now I'm wondering," she says, looking back to Viv after nodding to Tereza.

"Did you choose this? I mean how you look."

"Our eyes are always blue, our fur black with no marks. Our human forms vary because humans are visual creatures. The magic of the blessing chooses the form that will best serve the Blessed."

Tereza smirked, "Blessed, huh?"

"As opposed to cursed, evidently."

"Few can use the cloak without going mad. Those who can were said to have been blessed by the Goddess, over the centuries it was noticed that a certain type of wolf was able to use the cloak more often then others. It became wise to only allow those very few to be given the choice of taking the cloak, it lessened the risk of madness. Some even say the madness of the failed wolves became a curse, the curse."

"...lovely."

"There are similarities, but then again one raving creature trapped between beast and man looks little different from another. That is not to say that it is a fact that they are one and the same. Too many generations have come and gone, knowledge and stories lost in time.

"And very few of us are snarly and 'mad' for very long. Those that are usually had problems before they were changed."

"She told me I probably would've been put down by now if I was that bad," she thumbs to Tereza.

"Which is right cheery, but I suppose it's still a point in my favor."

Tereza Rozanov wrote:"And very few of us are snarly and 'mad' for very long. Those that are usually had problems before they were changed."

"Adaptation, an admirable human trait."

"Yes, without control you would have been too dangerous and too obvious. You have done very well considering you mentioned you are without a pack."

"I've just... seen enough movies, aye? Didn't take much to put two and two together and stay out of the way until I got a better handle on my head."

"And if things continue to go well, you'll have a pack," she said before looking directly at Vivienne. "You do realize, once this is over, you should talk to..." She was interrupted by Sister coming back in through the wall and making a beeline for Tereza.

"It appears that you guardian has returned rather hastily."

"That could be good or bad," she says, tensing.

"The goods news is that she's found the guy you're looking for. Bad news is, he's got some agents of the vampires watching him. Sister says she doesn't *think* they're working with him, but she can't really tell."

Vivienne let out a very inhuman like growl. "I must get the pup back, they must not know what she is. Have you pack member who can take full form?"

"All of my pack can. We've all had lots of practice. Why?"

She places her hand on her shoulder. "I can appear as the pup's mother, however I am unsure how your specific pack's genetics work out. Are such births possible?"

"I... don't know. We've never had it happen and I've never heard of it happening."

"...I think anyone's going to be suspicious if we come up leading a wolf."

Tereza Rozanov wrote:"I... don't know. We've never had it happen and I've never heard of it happening."

"It is very rare. We have hear of it in the Americas, where the spirits are more likely to be bonded to the cursed. It would appear your spirit bond is truly unique here."

Samantha McManus wrote:"...I think anyone's going to be suspicious if we come up leading a wolf."

"I was hoping to lay claim to the pup as it's mother without revealing myself further. To humans I appear as a black wolfhound. Uncommon, but not as terrifying to the human mind."

"Well, it will probably be easiest if we move through the city as humans first. It'll be easier to get cabs and such."

"Then I will follow your lead." Vivienne said as she stood.

"Let's do this, then." She stands as well.
