[You'll probably want to discuss the first votes a little more, since the results for the first night will come along with breakfast tomorrow morning (7PST Thursday) . . . but after that, maybe finding a quiet place to sleep—together, or separately.]

[morgen]

Why?

[moonbiting]

Because it's not something I'm used to other people seeing--people who aren't my mom. But everyone's secrets are coming out, and I'm hoping no one will give me trouble for this.

[morgen]

[taking a deep, shaky breath]

So... tell me about it, then, d-dove.

[Walking forward with a much stiffer step than he is used to.]

[moonbiting]

[notices that, and looks concerned]

Actually, are you okay?

[morgen]

Well... what I can see so far... looks lupine.

[moonbiting]

... you're not wrong. And this is only half of it.

[remembering their last conversation, and what morgen said about werewolves]

[morgen]

My history with wolves is... less than wonderful, love. But that's history, not you. You're nervous in crowds, which is adorable, a trait seldom shared by cannibal berserkers.

[moonbiting]

[he blushes a little and ducks his head]

I didn't choose this. It's not something I want to be, but... it's something I have to deal with.

[morgen]

I have... similar issues... with my family history. So, tell me about it.

[Calm again, at least for the moment, and stopping to loiter just a few feet away.]

[moonbiting]

[he rubs the back of his neck, and after a moment, he reaches into his shirt for the small pendant he wears under it--and the ears and tail fade away from view, like they were never there]

The short version is that it's a curse.

[morgen]

Not... hereditary? The wolves, where I'm from, they're a nation. A people.

[moonbiting]

[shakes his head]

No, my mom's a normal human. Well, she's a witch, but she's normal. My dad... I don't know much about, but as far as I know he was normal too. And I was normal too, until I got... attacked.

[morgen]

I see. That's... terribly unfair.

[moonbiting]

Yeah.

[morgen]

Then... I'm sorry, love, I've been terribly uncouth. You're every bit as wrong by wolves as I am - probably more.
