I'm not really sure about this Mafaton place, but the rest don't seem...half bad. And Hal's there an' that.

I mean like, I could get a real job. Live in a house. There's other werewolves. The monsters are a bit different, but y'know. It's a challenge?

[that last part sounds more hopeful than it should.]

[agrat]

You're one of Hal's friends?

[likeaflower]

Yeah, he's my best mate.

[...pause.]

Why, what'd he do?

[agrat]

Um...nothing really, so far as I know. [ Well, he tried to eat a mermaid, but he didn't manage! So. ] He just seems a little overwhelmed with the place, so I've been trying to keep an eye on him, but it might be better if a friend did it instead.

[likeaflower]

Oh, yeah! Yeah, as soon as I'm there, it'll be matchsticks and dominoes at the ready, no worries.

[agrat]

All right, good. I really didn't enjoy having to throw him into a railing, and I don't think he liked it much, either.

When you do turn up, you can meet a friend of mine--she's a werewolf, too. GG.

[likeaflower]

Crikey, that's-- [impressive! Tom nods in something like surprise and approval.]

Brilliant. I've not met a lot of werewolves, only...three --no four, not counting my Dad.

[agrat]

There are a lot more than that in Baedal, and people don't have to hide there. Not if they don't want to.

[likeaflower]

That'd be...great. [it sounds more understated but there are MORE SPARKLY EYES.]

I'd still need to find somewhere during the full moon. But that'd be-- [smiling] D'you think they even let me have the morning off the day after, in some places? Like a sick day?

[agrat]

You know, I think they might. Some places are more Xenian-friendly than others, but if you took to bouncing in a place like where I work, for example, they seem flexible.

[incaptivity]

Thank you for the vote of confidence.

I think you'll be surprised how well-behaved I've been so far. —There was only that incident with the mermaid, and honestly, that was very nearly justifiable.

[likeaflower]

She's the one looking worried. [Pointing!! At Lea!]

Hal. You almost attacked a lady? I don't care what her -um. Below waist region...looks like, that is not on.

[incaptivity]

No, it's not– look, I don't know why he calls himself a mermaid, but he is definitely not a lady.

Also, he yells.

[ ... Like that makes his own reaction completely reasonable. Somehow. ]

third time lucky :I

[lupa]

...There are community support services. For werewolves and other, you know, occasionally human-shaped people.

[Which is really weird and GG feels awkward about it, but they exist, so that's...nice?]

Hi. I'm the friend. [Of Lea's, that is.]

[likeaflower]

How'd you mean, like a community centre?

Tom McNair, nice to meet you. I know it's not really proper or anything here, but. [/shruuug.]

[aldabeyoun]

Mafaton has its perks, but I get that it's not for everyone.

[likeaflower]

No offence or nowt, just vampires and me don't usually get along.
