Beard mode? Or whatever you called it. What the fuck does that mean?

[pneumo]

Ohhhh--'cause you have a beard right now! And human♥

[bb_wolf]

... this isn't a beard. This is scruff.

[He rolls his shoulders, letting himself slip a bit into his other skin. Brilliant eyes, heavier bulk, jutting fangs and furred face.]

This? Not a beard either, but closer. Closer to fur than hair, which means it's not a beard.

[pneumo]

But it still looks like one... And I can't grow one like that! Even if it isn't a real beard. [ Sascha grins a tad childishly, leaning over a bit so he can inspect it behind his ridiculous shades. ] Do you ever shave?

[bb_wolf]

Well, if you're dead, no. You wouldn't grow hair.

[He isn't getting up from his nest of pillows. He's just as comfortable in this shape as any other that isn't him.]

Course I do. Every couple of days.

[pneumo]

So it's kiiiind of like a beard then. [ Maybe...just maybe, Bigby will let him encroach then and sit down in front of him, only a few feet off. ]

[bb_wolf]

[Well, he's not stopping him or making growly noises.

He does shift back to being properly human, though, with just his shadow of a beard.]

It still isn't a beard.

[pneumo]

Close enough! [ Yesss, good. Then he'll scoot himself forward a little and grin. ]

I like it.

[bb_wolf]

No.

[He can see where this is going. Sascha is going to try to sidle close enough to pet his face.]

Don't even think of trying it.

[pneumo]

[ That...is totally what he was going to do. Bigby called it. ]

But you let me pet you before...!

[bb_wolf]

[Bigby gives a soft growl, discouraging.]

Different. Human. I don't like it when I'm human.

[pneumo]

How come...? [ His shoulders droop some, but he knows what the growl means. He won't push his luck for now, just cants his head. ]

[bb_wolf]

Not the same. Wolf me? It feels different. Human skin isn't the same. And when I say skin, I don't necessarily mean just the skin.

[pneumo]

Oh... Well what about your hair? I like having my hair brushed, I could brush yours! [ Or sit next to him on down comfy pillows... ]

[bb_wolf]

No. I don't like being touched much when I'm human.

[He felt small and bare and vulnerable and people only really touched him to hurt him or because he was hurt. Anything more than a hand on his forearm was unfamiliar.]

[pneumo]

Really?? I love being touched... [ Obviously not while human because he's a vampire, but hey. Sascha tilts his head again. ]

Sasuke doesn't like it either. I got full of knives last time I tried.

[bb_wolf]

... did you crawl into bed with him without permission?

[Because he sort of gets that reaction. Whereas if Sascha was just approaching and got stabbed, Bigby will have to go and thump whoever Sasuke is.]

[pneumo]

Yeah... [ Nope, Sasuke is all good in that regard. He even told Sascha not to do it beforehand and he did it anyway. ]

[bb_wolf]

[Bigby reaches out and smacks Sascha upside the head.]

What have I fucking told you about that?

[pneumo]

Ow! It was before that...! [ Sascha's hand quickly rises to hold the side of his head. ]

[bb_wolf]

Do not do it again.

[You've been warned, Sascha.]

[pneumo]

I won't, I won't...! I'll ask first I promise! [ Don't kick him out Bigby )8! ]

[bb_wolf]

Good.

[Reward. Bigby scruffles Sascha's hair and picks up his book again.]

[pneumo]

[ Gasp... A hair ruffle. Sascha looks briefly surprised, but pretty much immediately free he's beaming, eyes wide and bright. ]

♥...!

[bb_wolf]

[Bigby gives that no recognition and instead opens his book up, settling back into the pillows.]
