Kiley more than understood where Alanna was coming from, and she didn't want to talk about it either. Who would? They were monsters, where they wanted to admit or not. She couldn't imagine taking her hybrid form outside of the full moon, what would happen if she were allowed to rage like that. Perhaps that was what happened to the were who attacked her family, something outside of their control, but Kiley would never know.
Alanna's confidence was reassuring, and Kiley allowed herself a chuckle as she took another sip of her mocha. "I'll be sure to keep you posted," she said, raising her drink to the woman as if in a toast. "When was the date? A day or two ago? There is nothing wrong with sending a 'Hey how are you' text. Especially if the date went well." Kiley too was an odd one, but that seemed perfectly reasonable in her book, not odd at all.
What she had in common with the wolf? Kiley couldn't even begin to think of what that might be. She did know the wolf had been pretty determined to survive, during the demon attacks, so maybe that was it? It was too much to think about now. "Then don't call yourself a rodent," she said. "Chipmunk is cute and adorable and I would stick with that." She snorted, "Okay, I could agree with dachshund more so than some other breeds of dogs. I had the image of a chihuahua for a second, it wasn't pretty." Kiley giggled too, because it really was a funny subject to be discussing, only to quiet a moment later. "You know, that might be it, the family thing," she murmured. "All I've got left now is Corwin, and I'm protective as hell over him. He's pack, to me. And yes, I have a big shiny tail. And I'm not kidding, my fur is as red as my hair."
