-It's a full moon out. And you hear a definite, distinct howling.

And normally this would be a frightening, hair raising horror. Because werewolves are scary, right? But something about this just sounds... lonesome.

For those on the ship, there's something cool about watching her take up a perch, howling at the moon's elegant light. Some might even say she looks gorgeous in that light, in spite of how she tries to hide how furry she gets during the full moon...

Though eventually, she realizes that she had meant to put something else in the journal, before her instincts took over. At least none of them could see her, but... Hopefully no one would ask what that was.-

Um... Can we just pretend none of you all saw that? That would probably best... Sorry to wake any of you up! It's one thing to do this on a ship, but for everyone out there in the ether to hear it too... How embarrassing.

That's understandable. Worried?

[soundandfurry]

Well... you heard that dog right? That it's gonna be my fault...

[oceanicbutterfly]

[...yep. She heard.]

Whatever he does is his decision. You made a mistake, but you didn't force him to react a certain way.

[soundandfurry]

I still feel guilty about it... I let my instincts get in the way of my reasoning.

[oceanicbutterfly]

[flatly] Yes, you did.

Now you and the people around you know that that's something you need to work on.

[soundandfurry]

Easy for a human to say...

[oceanicbutterfly]

I didn't say it would be easy.

[soundandfurry]

...

I'm not a bad person, Karen.

[oceanicbutterfly]

I know.

[soundandfurry]

I'm glad to hear that... sometimes, especially humans, always seem to assume the worst when it comes to my kind.

[oceanicbutterfly]

Yes, well... I'll admit that, under different circumstances, I might have done the same. But one of the first things I learned here was that I can't assume things will work the way I expect them to.

Besides, if you were like that, it'd be strange for you to warn me in advance about your nature.

[soundandfurry]

But at the same time... you have to understand that some things are just part of who I am. That includes howling.

[oceanicbutterfly]

Howling is fine. I just meant you shouldn't pick fights with Scurvey Dog.

[soundandfurry]

He was so rude, though! Talking like that to the magician...

[oceanicbutterfly]

To be fair, I'm not certain there is a right way to respond to something like that.

[soundandfurry]

So I'm off the hook?
