Well, Henry was offering. But he does greet them with just a towel Fernanda will say "Hi" without even blinking at the towel.

Permalink

Felicia doesn't mind the towel either and waves at them more warmly.

Permalink

And Henry will take them aside to explain Things.

Permalink

A few minutes later Fernanda comes out with a very, very neutral expression. "Henry explained things, and I plan to verify some myself. But I have no desire to see you suffering and would like to know how to prevent that."

Permalink

"I think if you want me to not be sad, but you don't want me to put any pressure on you, you probably can't ask me what I want, because what I want is for you to be happy and near me. If you want to find out if you like me, or want me to be happy, or want to be near me, I don't know how to tell you. Around you, I don't think I can really...say no to things, or do things I think you won't like."

Permalink

"Are you capable of accepting pressure trade-offs? Or any sort of pressure is unacceptable?"

Permalink

"I can be pressured, but I can't pressure you, not knowingly, not more than I already am, unless you say you can take it."

Permalink

"I'm pressure resistant enough that knowing things is always preferable than not - It helps making informed decisions - pressure shouldn't be a factor for hiding things from me and I'm relatively resistant otherwise. I just need to know what I'm dealing with."

"Okay. Wolves like us have pack telepathy, and when I shift and I can't sense anyone else there, it hurts. The loneliest I've ever felt- and it makes me want to- it makes me want to go home. But now that I met you, I just think of you, and it's not so bad. I think if I stay here too long, it'll still be too much. I feel like I'm empty, like I'm full of holes. But you help. And the way you help is that it just seems obvious helping you be happy is the most important thing in the world, and everything I can do to make you happy makes me happy. I think you could lock me in a cage and torture me and I'd be okay, as long as you were doing it."

Fernanda makes herself even more neutral. "Okay, I'm not into torture and I don't want you feeling alone and miserable. How much helping are we talking about? Do you need to do my very whim every hour of everyday or helping me with research for an hour per day is enough? Should I call Felicia's boyfriend and talk over the possibility of accepting you as a roommate or what?"

Permalink

"I don't want to be-penciled in. Is there anything you can use super-human strength for? I know first aid, maybe there's some use for that? I guess you have sorcery. I just want to help. Roommate sounds fine. And I'll be around you as much as you want me, as much as you let me."  

Permalink

"I'm not sure you can be a roommate, yet. The place actually belongs to Katur's - Felicia's boyfriend - uncle and we would have to ask. There is in fact some heavy-lifting to be done, specially if you can manage more finessse than an augmented horse."

Permalink

"Wolves can't do a lot of finesse, we can't grab things super well, but I can definitely carry things in my mouth."

Permalink

Fernanda shrugs. "There is a intelect behind your jaws and it shouldn't be hard to figure something you can do if you want to be helpful."

 

"I would like to discuss romance."

Permalink

"Okay. What are you thinking?"

Permalink

"Well, what are the options here? Henry was sure that you would always love me, but less sure if you could fall in non-magical love with other people. How would I react if I wanted to me picking someone else or have multiple partners? For that matter what was your sexuality before the magical love?"

Permalink

"I think...I can't fall in love with other people that way, but I don't need you to feel that way, I'll just change to match. I liked girls, before."

Permalink

"I'm bi. Well, that sounds like most of the urgent things that we can get out of the way. Let's not touch the whole you and Henry looking like twins for now, not obviously urgent... What is the situation of you and other werewolves back on your home world?"

Permalink

"Only the tribe knows about us, we activate when vampires are nearby, we read each others minds, we don't age until we quit our wolves..."

Permalink

This breaks her neutrality a bit. "Okay, I don't even know where to start. Well, the most important thing. You don't age? What is quitting your wolf?"

Permalink

"I aged until I activated, but now I don't. Quitting is what it sounds like, you just decide not to shift again, and then you stop being a wolf."  

Permalink

"But why would you do that?"

Permalink

"Are you immortal?" 

Permalink

"No, but I'm a Daliath sorcerer and I should live for at least three hundred years. And I plan to figure out an ethical way to prolongue that to forever."

Permalink

"Good. You should get as many years as you want. Most wolves don't age as long as we keep shifting, but then if the vampires are gone, their kids won't be wolves, and their imprints won't...everyone they love would die."
