Martha curled up in the lobby, wrapped her arms around her knees, and leaned her head back against the wall. "I," she announced, "am going to become a nun. A lesbian nun."

It was the only answer.

	Martha nodded. "I can't do mind-sex, anyway, I'm only twenty first century human, my brain hasn't evolved that far yet." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Hey, same as me. I mean, I know some people who can do the mind-sex thing, but they're not exactly normal humans." Then again, neither was he. "You want to come down to my room? Or up to the roof or something?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	missjones 2009-04-05 11:57 am UTC (link)
	"To the roof?" She slid him a sideways look. "Have you met a Jack yet?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Umm. Yes. But I don't exactly have a fear of heights, either?" Jason smiled. "I'm just throwing ideas out there. If you have anywhere else in mind, that'd be cool, too." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	missjones 2009-04-05 12:09 pm UTC (link)
	She grinned. "Jack just has this....fixation with rooftops. And your room sounds good." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	pomme_de_sang 2009-04-05 12:10 pm UTC (link)
	He grinned and settled her hand in the crook of his arm before heading for the stairs that went down. "Well, there are worse things to be fixated on." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	missjones 2009-04-05 12:21 pm UTC (link)
	"I'm not even going to ask," she said dryly. "Why are we going down rather than up?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	pomme_de_sang 2009-04-05 12:24 pm UTC (link)
	"Because my room is downstairs," he replied, pausing. "Is that uncomfortable for you?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	missjones 2009-04-05 12:29 pm UTC (link)
	"Not...usually," she said cautiously. "It's just...unusual." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	pomme_de_sang 2009-04-05 12:34 pm UTC (link)
	He thought about that for a moment, then nodded. "I'm not a vampire, if you're worried about that." Another pause, then he added, "But I've not been entirely clean with you about other things. Like the fact that I'm not completely human." The body temperature may have been a clue, but she hadn't asked why it was so high yet. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	missjones 2009-04-05 01:12 pm UTC (link)
	Oh, God, another one, she might have known it. And she'd been so carefully not asking. "So...what are you?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	pomme_de_sang 2009-04-05 01:13 pm UTC (link)
	He smiled a bit at that. "Werewolf, actually." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	missjones 2009-04-05 01:23 pm UTC (link)
	"Riiiight," she said slowly. "Which means what, exactly?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	pomme_de_sang 2009-04-05 01:27 pm UTC (link)
	Jason's mouth turned up in a smile. "The usual, I guess. Higher than baseline body temperature. Heightened senses and strength. I get furry on the full moon though I can shift if I want or need to at other times. And that's the only time it's contagious." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	missjones 2009-04-05 01:33 pm UTC (link)
	"It's only contagious at the full moon?" she said carefully. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	pomme_de_sang 2009-04-05 01:34 pm UTC (link)
	"Oh, no." Jason shook his head. "Only if I'm a wolf or shifting to become a wolf." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	missjones 2009-04-05 01:37 pm UTC (link)
	"And what..makes you do that?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	pomme_de_sang 2009-04-05 01:38 pm UTC (link)
	She was asking good questions, he had to give her that. "I only have to change at the full moon," Jason replied. "Otherwise, it's a conscious decision. I have full control over that." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	missjones 2009-04-05 01:46 pm UTC (link)
	Martha nodded thoughtfullly. "Always full control?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	pomme_de_sang 2009-04-05 01:57 pm UTC (link)
	"Always," he agreed. "I've been a werewolf for several years now. It wasn't easy at first, but I've gotten the hang of it." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	missjones 2009-04-05 02:42 pm UTC (link)
	"So there's nothing that can sort of trigger the change?" She was....not quite believing the whole werewolf thing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	pomme_de_sang 2009-04-05 02:49 pm UTC (link)
	"Nope." He paused. "Okay. There are some alpha werewolves who can force a lower pack member to change, but there aren't any alphas here and the ability's only used in dire circumstances anyway." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	missjones 2009-04-05 03:07 pm UTC (link)
	"So...you're a werewolf." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	pomme_de_sang 2009-04-05 03:24 pm UTC (link)
	He grinned brightly at that. "I am." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Martha couldn't help it. She stopped, collapsed back against the wall, and giggled. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
