[whosafraidofthe]

I guess now that everyone's settled I should make a note of this:

I have wolf senses. If you decide to smoke or drink, I can smell it across campus. I will probably patrol once in a while. So anyone who wants to smuggle that in and be the cool kid is going to have to try that much harder to get past me.

On the other hand, if you absolutely have to try it, at least do it around an adult. I personally don't mind keeping you safe while you're doing something stupid, I can't exactly deny being a hypocrit. I do mind having to pull you out of a ditch because no one was there to keep you safe.

Anything harder than that, though, will not be getting past me.

[He's such a sap and he hates it.]

If you're waiting for me to invite you to explore, you'll be holding your breath for a while.

[seduceme]

Oh, 'ow you wound me! [You can practically hear her rolling her eyes.]

[whosafraidofthe]

It's not like I can't expect it from you.

But you expect me to eat everyone on campus, so maybe there's hope for you being better than I think.

[seduceme]

I do 'ave clever 'ands.

[whosafraidofthe]

That is not the sentence I wanted to hear after this conversation.

[seduceme]

[Another chuckle and this time a quiet swallow as wine is consumed.]

[whosafraidofthe]

[Moody silence. Which slowly tapers into less moody silence.]

Might as well ask since we're already talking... is there any reason I haven't seen your face yet?

[The mask seems weird but he's still getting used to fashion... hm.]

[seduceme]

You 'aven't seen me naked either. [Is that a small hint of tension in her voice? Nah...]

[whosafraidofthe]

[He pauses as he picks up on that tension. It's familiar tension, honestly, but of all the things for her to have in common with a certain deceased working girl he definitely didn't expect this one.]

Something making you nervous?

[What a dumb question. Of course it is. And of course she's not going to just tell him. Good job, Bigby.]

[seduceme]

I'm sure I don't know what you mean.

[whosafraidofthe]

Your voice and your scent are-

[Bigby you are not helping.]

Nevermind. Must've been my imagination.

[seduceme]

Clearly.

[No you're really not-

Wait.]

You can smell me from there? I'm in my room!

[whosafraidofthe]

[Radio silence.]

Ten miles in every direction. Roughly.

[seduceme]

... Mon dieu, garbage collection days must be a nightmare for you.

[whosafraidofthe]

The cigarettes and booze help.

[seduceme]

I don't understand why you choose to live in the city. At least 'ere the garbage and sewers are not a problem.

[whosafraidofthe]

I moved there for the same reason everyone else likes big cities; fast food and convenience. I stayed there because...

[There's a pause, as he tries to word this in a way that doesn't make him sound like a lovesick puppy.]

...I got attached to someone.

[seduceme]

... Oh really~? Do tell. [Right, that's cheered her up.]

[whosafraidofthe]

It's a long story. The basics are that she's the reason I don't still eat people. And probably what kept me alive for most of my old job.

And before you get any ideas, we're just friends. [Although that's said a tad forcefully. As usual.]

[seduceme]

Well that's no fun.






Not even a little-?

[whosafraidofthe]

[A little, try literally killing people over her honor.]

A few people would try to convince you otherwise, but it's completely platonic.

[seduceme]

So what you're telling me is you're romantically attracted to someone whom you believe to be unattainable and are now a single man living with a literal pig.

... No wonder you're always so cranky.

[whosafraidofthe]

...When you put it like that...

[private]

[seduceme]

I believe the phrase in English is "you need to get laid."

[private]

[whosafraidofthe]

And I suppose you're offering.

[It's like he's testing himself to see how much "I don't want this" he can put into one tone of voice.]

Because no one else is.
