[Once he gets past the urge to just spew apologies, once he feels a little less like tearing his hair out, he gets on the network.]

You know, I don't remember if I ever said anything about it. But there's an animal clinic on board. [He holds up a set of keys, jingles them.] That's what those keys were, a while ago. I've got some experience working in one so, um. If anything happens, I've got stuff for splints and vaccines and worms and stuff. Since it'd be really easy for one to infect a whole bunch, you know?

[He pauses, because he remembers how people said apologies were unnecessary, that flood-selves weren't real, but like before, it just feels necessary, just to get it off his chest.]

And I'm sorry I was so...I'm just sorry.

[Private to Daneca]

You especially.

[Private to Jack]

So that's got to be, like, the worst thing to get paired off of, right? [WORST BEHIND THEM THOUGH right? right?]

[Private to Iris and Bruce, separately]

And thanks. For not letting me do something...really bad.

[Spam for Alana]

[He thinks Alana probably needs more than a straightforward apology, though he's not sure why. Something tells him she doesn't really have friends here, and while it's kind of weird trying to be a friend to someone who could be, like, a school therapist or counselor or something, he also thinks it'd be nice to know that someone's thinking of you.

Or something. He's seriously not over thinking it.

So eventually, Scott makes his way to her door, knocking. He knows there's a dog in there.]

That's lucky.

[She thinks. Traditional mythology would say he definitely can't control it or himself around the full moon. Daneca doesn't think she'd be that scared though. Careful, but she'd believe some part of him would still be in there underneath the wolf.]

It doesn't hurt when you do that, does it?

[He shakes his head, holding up hands that now have claws.]

The first time I changed - that first full moon it kind of did. But I was freaking out cause I had no idea what was going on. It's easier now, though: I had to figure it out eventually.

[His eyes fade back to brown so he can look at her in full color, smiling a little. She's not freaking out, and that is buoying.]

Do you always have to change on the full moon or is that just something you see in Bela Lugosi films?

Who's she?

[Daneca looks surprised for a second before she laughs.]

He's an old film star. He used to star in a bunch of old monster movies.

Oh. [Whoops.] What, like the Wolfman? Frankenstein?

Yeah, he played Dracula.

Oh. That's cool.

And - I don't know if I always have to. Maybe I don't - Derek didn't.

I take it he never bothered to let you in on how he does it.

Derek Hale's idea of teaching me involved chasing me through a parking garage and telling me to give up on caring about people because they'd make me weak.

[Derek Hale is an idiot. u_u]

[Daneca recognizes that the whole not caring about people thing is ridiculous and a bad, bad thing to ever tell someone, but hold the phone.]

...Chasing you through a...parking...garage...?

[She squints.]

So I bought groceries, and I was going back to the car, and I dropped the milk, and it rolled off into the shadows. And then it comes rolling back, except it's leaking from freaking bite marks. I thought it was the alpha coming to kill me.

[Daneca frowns.]

And how exactly is that supposed to train you?

Well...I ran, and I heard my heartbeating, so I knew the alpha would, too. I set off a bunch of car alarms and hid, so it was...

Okay, I have no idea, Derek is weird and I think maybe a little nuts.

A little?

[Daneca shakes her head a little.]

He sounds certifiable to me.

You're probably right. Which kind of sucks, cause the only other wolf I know is definitely psychopathic.

Well, we know you're alright at least.

[She nudges him.]

[He grins, nudges back.]

I guess I'll take alright.

Good because that's all you're getting. I'm not going to be responsible for you getting a massive ego.

Hey, my ego is only massive on the full moon. Otherwise it belongs to a loser who had asthma most of his life.

[She laughs softly.]

I think you're lying to me. I definitely wouldn't be able to tell the difference.

Are you saying I have a big head?
