[So. This guy's just gonna nudge open the nearest door and follow his nose to the nearest kitchen like he's been here a million times. Which, technically, he has. Technically.

This place hasn't changed much, but to those who look/smell familiar to him, he might pause and sniff at you for a bit. Other than that, he's mostly harmless. Just sort of abnormally big. :|b]

[Not exactly, but, she didn't ask so he's not gonna put a spotlight on it or anything.]

[Of course not. She wouldn't either.]

So... Does anything happen to you on the full moon? Does it get worse?

[Oh the dreaded question. He gets visibly uncomfortable at that]

It's... kind of hard to explain...

[That makes her tilt her head up curiously, one eyebrow raised.]

That's the only time I transform. And I'm not nearly as calm as you were.

That's because I've been doing it for about five years now. You'll get used to the pain eventually.

It's not the pain I'm talking about. It's losing my mind. I'm not in control at all when I change.

How many times have you done it?

[She takes a few seconds to count them out.]

Five. Should've been seven, but I left this place for a while.

You're still newly turned, not being in control isn't surprising. You need time, your body needs to adjust. But no matter what, you have to remember that it's not your fault. You're still you inside, you're not a monster.

... I can't help you much, but if you need someone there when you change, I'll do whatever I can.

[She straightens, a little ruffled by being talked to like that, but relaxes enough, very much looking away from him.]

I have someone there with me, someone immune. We've got it under control.

I see.

[He looks uncomfortable again, looking down briefly.] Sorry, that's... probably not what you need to hear. I'm glad you've got someone.

[It's just something she's heard a million times, for various reasons. But she shakes her head at that.]

I hope you're right, and that it is possible for me to adjust. If I have to stay like this.

I believe you can. You have someone who'll stay with you through that, sometimes that's all you need.

[She is actually somewhat embarrassed by having it put in those terms, with the personal side of her situation, but she's hiding it well.]

You're right.

[There's a small smile from him at that.]

I'm a little envious, to be honest. You're really lucky to have someone like that.

[Cue Riku running a hand through her hair, eyes closed, totally casual. Totally.]

I know.

[Well, he's just gonna stare at her for a bit, a little confused. In any case, it's not his place to ask anyway, best not to pry.]

[Time for a change of subject!]

Mm. I'm glad you have control, at least. This place has seen enough damage from me.

I know we're not exactly the same, but ... I wasn't that better off when I started. Nearly killed myself the first time.

...yeah. That part I can definitely understand.

Did they stop you with tranqs, or tear gas?

Tranqs.

[She won't mention the one time with the bullets.]

That's good. They gave you the better of the two.

I'm sure they did.

[She doesn't really want to imagine the alternative.]

[And he doesn't really want to remember either...]

It's coming up soon, right? The full moon.
