Alanna shrugged, not wanting to talk about it even if Kiley would understand. And that was a rare thing right there, Alanna finding something that she was unwilling to talk about. Being a monster was just that high on the list of things she hated about herself. Actively. Hopefully Kiley would never be forced into her hybrid form outside of the full moon. That made it even worse for some reason, because it was unexpected and there was no cage or anything involved.
"I think you definitely will," Alanna said with a degree of confidence that she usually reserved for things like her skills at track or in dentistry. She could be confident for Kiley, who really was pretty and deserved someone to see that. "And as soon as he calls or texts... I don't want to seem all desperate and text him and be like 'hey!' and have him remember that I really am that odd girl from school." Kiley could understand that, Alanna knew that she had those odd qualities too.
Alanna rolled her eyes at the suggestion that Kiley was a wolf because of her hair. "Seriously doubt that, Kiley. Bet it's something that you haven't even realized that you've got in common with it. I'm a chipmunk because, well, that's the rodent I'm the most like - god I hate calling myself a rodent. So clearly you're more like a wolf than a fox or a coyote or a... uhh... dachshund. Wouldn't that just be the cutest thing ever? Running around as a little hot dog." Alanna could not keep from giggling at the mental image, immensely relieved that she was able to. This was not a subject she really laughed a lot about. "Wolves have those family instincts and all, maybe that's it. Do you have a big shiny tail and everything?"
