Query 3: [Audio]

[folkloristlore]

[He wakes with a gasp and a start, stark naked and sore all over. He's aware of everything that happened the night before, he remembers everyone he attacked.

Everyone who attacked back. The girl who shifted into a wolf herself. All of those people-- did the Wolf kill them?

Oh, god, he'd actually become-- he'd changed, his body had-- he was, he

That was you?

[He cringes, and it takes him a second to reply. His voice cracks when he finally does.]

I'm s-sorry.

[She's hesitant to use audio because of her shadow, but its been mercifully quiet most of the day.]

Hey, no- its okay, seriously. Are you okay? Do you need anything?

[Audio]

[folkloristlore]

W-wait.

What?

[He's confused. Are you bringing a lynch mob? You're supposed to hate him. He hates himself, you're supposed to hate him along with him.]

[tanvirus]

[Oh.]

Fucking werewolves.

[Oops, was that out loud? Like he gives a shit.]

[folkloristlore]

I... I'm sorry.

[It's all he can say. He's got nothing. He does mean it, though, for what it's worth.]

[tanvirus]

[Unfortunately, pretty puppy, it's not worth much.]

Stay the fuck away from me, transformed or not. Chuck you in there again if you come near me.

[Audio]

[havea_heart]

Tan, stop, you--

Y-you--you don't this guy. He's not--he's not like the other wolf.

[He's trying to ignore the fact you threw his friend into Carnival, because that's horribly morally grey.]

[Audio]

[havea_heart]

I--I-

I have your--your pants.

And, uhm, a--and some books, I--I thought you'd--y-you'd like.

[God, Ben, he is so sorry.]

[Audio]

[folkloristlore]

Can... I'm sorry, I--

I tried to stop, I couldn't make it stop, Herz.

I-- if you want to...

[Please, just come over. He can't say it, Herz.]

[Bennett appears in the door his head ducked low below his shoulders, a sheet wrapped around his naked, pale frame. There's a new burn scar on the side of his neck thanks to Xanxus, already healed. There are a few small ones tucked up into the shadow cast by his nose, barely noticeable.

He fights his own fear and manages to look up into Herz's eyes.]

I'm-- I'm so sorry, Herz, I- I... I'm sorry.

[brittlenerves]

[Less than a week into Bennett Marrow's stay on the Elegante and already he's attacked people. And not only that, but he is a werewolf.

Xanth knew a werewolf. Xanth's almost got his neck bit out by that werewolf. Months ago, Xanth might have been scared stiff of it happening again. There was a wolf raging through the halls and he didn't even know. He could've encountered it and really been killed.

But even so, Xanth hadn't been attacked, and this werewolf is apologizing for his actions. He sounds broken. Sorrowful.

Nothing like the wolf Xanth knew.]

A-Are you a--a-a...

[Wait no, bad question.]

Um.

I-I, uh, it's-- do you... n-need a--anything? I can-- I don't know. F-Find... something. Cl--clothes, m-maybe, or... f-food...

[folkloristlore]

I'm... not really, missing-- I changed-- b-before I died, they were left out in, in the hall, I don't think you'll find anything.

[He draws a sharp, rattling breath.]

Thank you for... the concern.

I... I don't know what to do.

[Why is he asking you?]

[brittlenerves]

[Indeed, why? It's not like Xanth has ever mauled anyone on the ship. He hasn't even gotten his warning.

He lets out a small sigh.]

You-- you a--apologized, t-to... whoever ev--e-everything happened t-to. There's... n-not much m--more you c-can do. I-I don't think, anyway...

An-- an apology is... it's m-more than wh--what some people g-get, at--at least.

[folkloristlore]

It, it wasn't just-- it was a bunch of people, and I...

I'm a monster, though, I-- I'm like what's in fairy tales and horror movies, I'm that thing, and I... I don't even know what I'm saying anymore.

[wait music.

...

Little girl. Oh crap um. Wow this poor guy was new too, Jim doesn't recognize the userID]

I don't think you wanna know what happened.

[folkloristlore]

I... all I did was black out like the first time I got attacked, it-- I don't.... what happened?

[Don't tell a guy with a thirst for learning to not find an answer.]

audio;

[believeslegends]

I-- trust me, you really... don't.

What do you mean the first time you got attacked?

audio;

[folkloristlore]

I got attacked by a d-d--- a wolf, and... blacked out and woke up in the hospital three days later.
