Scott has just finished up a day at school and is looking for a quiet afternoon on the rez.
Quil is trying to argue with Embry about some dumb show they're watching, and he just listens, trying not to laugh.
He sips his soda.

"I said that as a joke. Wow, okay... so, at least they will be by my place later. But then what now?"
"Yeah, we should probably go there right away lest we forget the time. And Henry will want to hear all about it this species feature of yours."
They return. "Honey, I'm home!" He says when he gets in, and when Henry pokes his head out of his study he tells. "Scott fell in love at first sight with a girl that will come by later."
"Just her, not her sister. She's my priority, now, over anything else. I can't go home if it means leaving her."
"Okay... I honestly don't know if this is the kind of thing that my magic can do, but if it is an option would you like me to get rid of it?"
Gabe takes a step to put himself between Scott and Henry, he folds his arms and looks quite confident that this is enough to prevent any threat that Scott might represent.
"Okay, I'm going to charitable assume this is a side effect of the love. Because I offered an option that I wouldn't impose on you. Would you mind changing back so we can deal with this situation that won't end with your beloved thinking she should get into protective custody until someone magically deals with you?"
He shifts back.
"Don't talk about getting rid of it. That doesn't work, I can't think about that, it's awful, how could you even say that!"
Sigh. "I'm not sure how it feels on your end. And for all I know maybe she would want that because being magically loved by a stranger that turns into an augmented beast doesn't appeal to her."
"Talk to her, and don't tell me what she says, because hearing that she might not want me around is worse than feeling packless."
"Okay, okay." Henry tries to say soothingly "I will talk to her then." he does not mention that she could simply run away and that says a lot about what she thinks about the subject... and her staying might not be better. "Is there anything we can do to help while we wait for he come by?"
He briefly glances down. "Besides the clothes."
"I don't know. I'm kind of, I need her now? I need to be there for her, to give her what she wants. If she wants me to leave her alone, I can do that, but I'll still want to be with her, giving her what she wants. It might be an issue."
"Gabe, go grab him... a towel, sorry, Scott, but I don't want more of my clothes destroyed. Are there other questions or topics that I should avoid while asking more about how it works?"
"Don't talk about it like it's a bad thing. I know she might not want to talk to me, even, but don't say that, either, it doesn't help to hear it. If she says that to my face, I don't think it'll hurt as much, because I can't imagine her hurting me. Don't talk about getting rid of it."
