More like he's been playing with me and neither of us really trust each other. That and he thinks I'm a total idiot, which really isn't helping my case.

[He knows he can be, but that isn't all the time. This is work, and work requires less stupidity. He's doing his homework, he swears.]

And I'm not going to strong arm my way through it, that isn't how I roll but even with access to a truth spell it's like more than half of what I say is taken as some kind of carefully constructed appeasing bullshit.

So he doesn't hear a word you actually say?

It's more than that.

I don't think he believes I'm genuine at all. I told him I helped the man that killed me originally and he called me a liar. I know he doesn't like witches, which I guess I've occasionally called myself one, but other than just doubling down, I have no other way to prove that I am what I say I am.

You can't force him to see reality. But I think he will see it eventually. Just...stay the course.

Can't exactly be anything other than myself so I'm not planing on changing course, but cats man.

Proof that dogs are better, right?

...I married a cat. I feel your frustration.

You are not getting me on record saying yay or nay for either. I'm not that dumb, Lark.

Did you see Vincent as a wolf?

I did. [He was adorable, if very shifty and nervous.]

Half the time I was a sorcerer, but I was also just me. He was cute.

Cute is an understatement.

I mean, sure. When I was a kid, I always wanted a dog and having a big, floppy wolf in my lap to watch movies with was pretty fucking great.

[A loud, beleaguered sigh] I'm puppy hungry now.

Of course you are. But, I'm gonna just point out that'd be a major, weird power dynamic shift if you were to offer it to him.

[Hanna's own world had werewolves if he was so inclined.] Your pack dynamic seems a little more structured than the solo wolves I've encountered back home anyways.

Oh I don't think he'd enjoy being a wolf long term. I could be wrong, but that's the sense I get. It's certainly a thing I'd wait for him to bring up before I'd offer it.

If he did want it with out all the structure, I'm sure I could have a talk with Toni. Though I'd want to figure out how to actually make a pendant like hers myself first...

[He's not about to offer him that either without talking with her, but at least her transformations didn't seem as painful.]

He's got options if he wants to howl at the moon. And now that I've had the chance to fix Toni's pendant, she doesn't look quite as pomeranian when she shifts as she did. Much more intimidating.

Sometimes back home not everyone turns into a wolf--some of them look more doglike. But I've never seen one turn into a pomeranian. Thank God.

It was an energy preservation thing. She was so cute though, I might have to convince her to use that form more often...

Tiny, stealth mode.

I'd love to see that in action.

I have a picture somewhere...it might have gone in the zine I gave Vinny when I got back.[He'll have to look.]

It's kind of funny, wolves where I come from can talk in every form they have too, so she'd just be yapping away as this cute little puff ball.

Oh that makes me jealous. The things I could have done if I could have spoken words in the pound.

[He's kidding. That would have ended with him in a science lab. No thank you. But still the image is funny]

Oh, I'm sure she fucks with people all the time but usually regular people don't notice the paranormal.

They'd see a dog talking and immediately think 'naw, that didn't happen'.

I wish that was the case in my world. We've got the military looking for us now.

Oh shit, really?

[He really should be getting on with this bullshit, he's been multitasking, but...]

I'm not powerful enough to offer any kind of help at keeping your pack obscured, but... you ever think of something I can do to help, let me know.

I appreciate it. I have some ideas; but they can wait until things have settled with your inmate. You've got a lot on your plate.

Like I didn't already. [Hanna heaves a long sigh before he finishes his guidance spell, an impressive feat one handed.]

Alrighty I'm going to go on a fucked up scavenger hunt. Flick Vinny's nose for me if you see him.
