Day 90; Video 003

[bostonhowler]

[The breeze pushes her heavy hair behind her. She takes a deep breath and then puts a smile on for the camera. It's tentative, but there.]

I owe apologies. Quite a few of them. Riley, Charlie, St. Raphael, Derek....

[She pauses.]

Dilandau.

I had some personal trouble recently and lashed out at those that didn't deserve it. I apologize for not being able to keep my temper and for not explaining anything.

[Another pause.]

And for still not explaining anything.

I just... Please accept my apology. For those that don't wish to, [Dilandau] I understand.

I'm going to be staying at the lighthouse a bit, I think. I need the perspective and if something happens again, there won't be anyone to take the brunt of it. Except some seagulls, but they're usually pretty forgiving.

Comments

[undomesticated]

Yeah? Is he as grumpy in person as he is over the network?

[Because he'd been pretty grumpy over the network...]

[bostonhowler]

He's quiet. I tend not to disturb him. Derek's not so bad.

[undomesticated]

I should maybe look at saying hi. I mean, face to face. I might be better if he, um, figured out what flavor I am before he runs into me at a different time.

[bostonhowler]

[Brigid fidgets.]

I told him there was a shifter here that turned into a cat. He shouldn't be that surprised.

[She looks up.]

I wouldn't have, but he's an Alpha, and I can't keep secrets from him.

[undomesticated]

Oh, well, good. No, I mean, that's okay. I'd rather he find out sooner than later, since I don't know what a surprised and pissed Alpha might do.

[bostonhowler]

[Brigid relaxes a bit.]

They generally don't take well to certain surprises. But as long as you don't mean us any harm, I doubt he'll say anything.

[undomesticated]

I'm generally not a very harmful person.

[Barring that little forest skirmish, but she'd felt provoked during that and turning her back hadn't been an option. But she generally wasn't one to initiate anything.]

[bostonhowler]

[Brigid bumps their shoulders together.]

Unless a wolf gets out of sorts, huh?

[undomesticated]

[She grinned, looking sideways at Brigid.]

Yeah, unless something like that happens. We are what we are, right?

[bostonhowler]

[That brings out a true smile.]

I wouldn't want to be anything else. I was without my senses for a few days. I do not know how humans do it. It made me paranoid.

[undomesticated]

There are definite ups and downs to it, like having to deal with the people that marinade in cologne or perfume, but I'd rather have to deal with that than go around nose blind.

[bostonhowler]

[She wrinkles her nose.]

It was my ears I missed more. I'm so used to being stuffed up because of other people, but my ears? Those are so important.

[undomesticated]

Ears, nose, general senses. I'm glad I have them. I can't even imagine what it would be like to just be... human.

[bostonhowler]

I jumped at everything and was constantly sure I was missing something.

[She sighs and shakes her head.]

Hopefully, this place doesn't do that again.

[undomesticated]

I was lucky during the last, um... problem? I didn't have anything happen. I'm actually a little afraid to see what comes next.

[bostonhowler]

Yeah. I set the docks on fire.

[She waves to where the docks lean drunkenly in the waves.]

[undomesticated]

Yeah? Were you that fiery thing I saw?

[She hadn't been able to place who was what entirely yet.]

[bostonhowler]

That was me, unfortunately. Luckily the only thing I set on fire was the docks. Dilandau still hates me for it, though.

[She doesn't know why either.]

[undomesticated]

Considering the alternative? I think singeing the dock is the lesser evil there.

[bostonhowler]

I had just found half of a body, so it seems like a reasonable response?

[Because, really, what else would be?]

[undomesticated]

Yeah, I think that would be a reasonable response.

[bostonhowler]

I certainly thought so.

[She smiles, just watching out over the sea.]

[undomesticated]

So, what about this hunter? Balthazar says he's effectively harmless, but you're the one that mentioned him first. Do you know him?

[bostonhowler]

St. Raphael didn't tell me much. His name is Dean, he knows how to kill werewolves, and I should avoid him if possible.

[She shrugs.]

Not much more than that.

[undomesticated]

So the angels know him, but we don't. Yeah, that doesn't make me feel overly confident. Balthazar said Castiel, another angel, is close to him. He might not be all that bad, but I'm going to sort of hold off on judgment until I meet him myself. If that happens.
