The fact that Lux was scarred really never fazed Simon. Yes, she looked a little different than she had prior to the attack, but it hadn't changed who she was, and that was more important to him. She was still Lux, his best friend, and if she needed a little more support in the wake of everything that happened, she'd have it. Simple as that, really. "Just sayin', anything of mine is yours, you know that. Right down to my booze and my drugs." Neither of which were here, for the record. Simon might be a stoner, but he wasn't stupid. The masters degree gathering dust in his closet proved that much.
Of course, Charmander was something of an attention whore, and Simon was learning more about the little bitty ever since he got him. He also wondered if Charmander was done growing, because if he got bigger, Simon was going to start calling him Charizard. For the record. Oh hi Lux! The salamander made his way to the edge of the shelf so he could sniff at her. Been while since I've seen you, I miss you!
Simon sighed, about to say something about Charmander hogging the spotlight - and then Lux was talking about something else. Why she was here, apparently. She was right when she said Simon was intelligent, and having been open about his supernatural abilities for a while now, especially with his friends, he wasn't surprised at what was out there. Hearing the words "bitten by a cougar" and then "full moon," it didn't take him long to put it together. "A were," he said, nodding as he thought about it. Lux had changed since she'd been bitten, all consistent with being turned. Granted, he didn't know much about weres, but he'd learn. Some of those studying abilities still had to be locked away inside his head somewhere. "So... cougar? Or did you take another feline form?" He paused for a moment, reaching over for her hand. "You know, you could have told me sooner, I promise you, this changes nothing between us."
