Tell me more about this routine with its many, many Puppy encounters. I might be interested in the Premium Gold Package.

Seeing as technically, I still work for you when I'm not helping out here or showing off what the good curse gave me? That seems like a lot of special attention.

[...]

Hey, speaking of this...body.

I have an [...] other-skin. Not the wolf, but not quite a man. I don't [...] remember exactly how it looks or feels, but I don't think this is it.

It's just [...]

It's like someone took my shoes and copied them, but made them a half inch too small, you know? It feels off.

I thought I was just crazy before, but now I've got a little better awareness here, that's what it is: my body's literally wrong.

...Until you touch me, anyway. When you touch me, nothing feels wrong anymore. I think I chose my other-skin for you? Is that possible? I can't remember

I feel perfect with you, Desmond.

I'm very interested in the VIP experience and would like to inquire about the backstage encounter opportunities, as a matter of fact. ;)

[...]

Joking aside, I [...]

I didn't realize how much it

I miss being kissed like that.

It's not your fault and I don't want you to be sorry; just let me say it.

I miss being kissed - You know. Without worrying who'll see. Without feeling like what we're doing is wrong. I mean, the past few months, I couldn't remember all the times someone's shoved me away or told me not to speak to them in public, and the allure of sneaking around was there with you. I had fun, being your secret. It was novel enough to be fun.

But [...] I remember now. I remember what I asked you the first time we spoke, and how much it meant to me to be called your pride. I remember how afraid I was that you'd turn out to be like all the others.

I was blissful, you know. Free and happy with you.

She put you in a position to take that away

She did this to us


[...]

Too many others.

Someone did that to us, too, and


[...]

So I'm going to need to ask for those Premium VIP perks as often as possible. Shop and Null Set and every goddamn street corner.

If we have to live here, I want the life we had for three perfect months.

I really do miss your scales, you know. And your eyes. I miss how beautiful you were. Unearthly.

[...]

But also, I love this form, too. There's a lot to be said for the current presentation you have going on. Perfect blue eyes, perfect [...] other qualities. ;)

You're doing better with the human male form at "fifty" than most guys are at twenty-five or thirty.

[...]

I have, unfortunately, become an expert on that subject.

I guess hunting them all is out of the question for a while, huh?

Be careful; we wouldn't want anyone to think you're getting up to heroics, rescuing me from the diner and all.

Not that anyone would mistake either of us for morally upright citizens if you're climbing all over me like a jungle gym out on the sidewalk. No complaints here: I'm looking forward to the attention.

Vicious, pretty wolf? Vicious, vain wolf, maybe.

You think I'm a pretty wolf? Really?

[...]

Oh, huh. The conversation we had about heroes makes all kinds of sense now. You asked me what I think of them or something like that.

I tried to scroll back and look, but I don't have those texts anymore.

I bet you have them, though.

Later.


Let me tell you what I think about heroes: they taste rank. I don't know what it is about them, but every single one I've ever bitten in to tastes like they're rotting or full of metal shavings or [...]

No, you know what? They taste artificial. That's what it is. Couldn't have told you that in the Forest Before, but having had more than a decade of exposure to artificial flavoring, I'm going to decisively say that's the problem with heroes. They taste like someone made a human in a petri dish.

Can't eat them. Can't let them live, either, because they either try to kill me, or they talk along these weird dichotomous lines about good and evil and don't leave any room for reality.

Then again, I didn't really care for humans in general. Maybe I'm biased.

Twelve hours is a very long time to go without kisses. Thankfully, the Complete Puppy Package covers all gaps left by the Premium Gold Package, so no one is un-kissed for more than eight.

Definitely, no one's going un-nipped.

Besides, you need to be reminded of something: I'm proud of you, too. The difference between you and all those men, Desmond, is with them I wanted to be acknowledged. With you, I want to do the acknowledging. It'll be nice for people to see I'm wanted, but even nicer to be open about my choice.

It feels like something shared - me and you. Something worth living for.

And if you want to kiss me in the diner, that'd be just fine by me. A little love would be good to brighten up the place.

[...]

I do love you. More than words are good for.

Well.

As a treat.

That reminds me. Do you have my collar? I'd like it back. I'm going to guess you fixed it, right?

I'm sorry I snapped it. It was just [...] everything happened so fast. I wanted to hurt you like I was hurting It was stupid, I was being dramatic

I'm sorry, Sweetheart. Please, I'd like it back.
honeystuff: you just had to meet without your clothes (there were so many people)

I was white, yes, with yellow here and there. Gold if you want to be poetic, which you always are.

I spent so much time as a shadow and [...] when I wasn't, I was dirty, injured, covered in sores. If you snuck up on me while I was sleeping, I must've been exhausted because I didn't sleep well otherwise.

...But it's nice, actually. Thinking you were there, thinking you maybe loved me a little, even like that.

[...]

I don't really remember how I look when I'm clean or well. But I must have been, right? At some point, I was healthy and my coat was full, and if I can't remember it but I know there was a time, then it must have been when I was with you.

It must have been in that tower, Desmond, because I wanted to be there so badly. Wolves don't want to be inside castles or up in the sky like that; it's not natural - unless I learned something good was in there. Something better than being free, better than having all the woods to myself, better than finding a den or a mate or something to hunt.

Den?

[...]

We had a den.

Not in the tower. Down in the bottom of the castle. I found it and smelled [...] you and "the man with the wolf in his bones". I smelled us and our mating. The smells were so strong that I ran from it, but I think it's because the door was closed for so long, sealing all of it in.

I'm not going to be sad about it. I'm going to say it was just waiting for us to come home.

They are boring. Imagine having to live your life justifying the shitty things you do to individuals for some weird "greater good". That would take up all my time, and then while I was trying to justify imposing my morality on other people, I'd have to live up to everyone else's so no one would call me a hypocrite -

Christ, what a miserable existence.

Much easier to just mind your own business - and maybe eat some fruit now and then so you taste less like the afterthought of a flavor.

You know who tastes best? I mean, other than creatures in castles? Hunters.

Especially the ones that aren't afraid to die. Something about terror makes everything taste bad, but those seasoned hunters that want to die, or they know they deserve it, or they're just ready for it for whatever reason?

Delicious.

Maybe you hunted with me. Beside me.

I can imagine you - before the cane - running full-speed at prey and maybe using your teeth. (Weren't they sharper?)

I think I can even imagine you now, using the cane to make up for the drop in speed. Oh, that would be fun: hunting with you in the woods here. (Hunting YOU in the woods, maybe? Mmm.)

[...]

I don't think I turned you. I can't remember, obviously, but I feel like something about your magic would have prevented it from working and I would've known that.

No making you into a wolf, even though I'd have wanted to.

That's what we do. My mother turned my father, my brother turned Granny. It's a way to preserve your mate.

[...]

Too bad.

You'd have made a beautiful wolf. Small and sleek.

The only thing I can say about my mother and what you remember is it's a good thing you didn't kill one another.

[...]

I saw you reaching for a memory. I saw I almost lost you, but [...] you came back to me.

Something about saying your other-name made you come back.

You have to be more careful, my Love. Please don't let me lose you again.
