Cry Wolf

[bb_wolf]

Who: Big Bad Wolf + Anyone
Broadcast: n/a
Action: Isakaulit
When: Any time from now on.

[Bigby found out about the Iskaulit. Namely, that it is large and has big, open spaces.

Big enough for him. And so his clothes are hidden away safely and there's a giant wolf on the loose, exploring everything.

And not frolicking. He's hundreds upon hundreds of years old. He's definitely not frolicking or anything like it.]

[ He'd do pretty much anything to get someone's attention, it's true. And vastly unhealthy. ]

Oh, um...

Well. She doesn't let me sleep with her and she doesn't feed me, but she did hold my hand, and even though I didn't ask for one...she still gave me a hug. [ He lifts one hand from Bigby's fur coat to rub his cheek with one hand, humbled. ] And she called me a good person.

[bb_wolf]

[Bigby already approves of her. She sounds sensible.]

Far as I can tell, you are.

[pneumo]

You really think that too?? [ He'd expect to be called annoying or a pain, a monster or something equally as demoralizing. To hear the opposite from two separate people he genuinely likes is...well. It feels good. ]

[bb_wolf]

You act like an idiot, but you seem to be a good person.

Mind you...

[He flops down on his side, stretching out his legs.]

I'm the big, bad wolf. My opinion on 'good' and 'bad' is probably not very balanced.

[pneumo]

[ It pulls the wolf's leg from his grip, but when he sees him roll over Sascha really doesn't mind; he wastes no time at all in hurrying over to his side, flopping against it with his arms outstretched. ]

I don't think you're that bad Bigby.

[bb_wolf]

[It hadn't been an invitation, but he allows it anyway.]

I eat people.

And terrorise them.

I pulled off Gren's arm and beat him into the floor with it.

[He doesn't sound like he repents any of it.]

I keep hoping Bluebeard will do something so I can chuck him down the Witching Well.

[pneumo]

[ Rolling over has been permission so many times Sascha just goes with it now, leaning the side of his head into Bigby's fur as he recounts his past deeds. He understands about half of it, but gets lost at 'Witching Well'. ]

...Well, I'm supposed to eat people too. I'm just not good at it 'cause I like humans too much, hehe.

[bb_wolf]

You're supposed to drink their blood, it's not the same at all.

[Because Bigby recently tore a woman in half with his teeth, whereas Sascha drinks blood from a thermos.]

[pneumo]

Well...yeah. But I can still eat meat for a little while! Newborns sometimes eat people...

[ Not that Sascha's done that since waking up mind you, but still. ]

[bb_wolf]

Yeah, but you haven't.

[pneumo]

No... [ He just doesn't have the heart for it. Eating a human like the ones who'd looked after him when he first woke would be too much. Sascha can't imagine doing something like that. ]

[bb_wolf]

Exactly.

You could, but don't. I could and have.

[pneumo]

It's okay, I still like you anyway. I'm just weird for a vampire.

[bb_wolf]

[He grunts his agreement with that statement.]

Someone told you you were a vampire. A newborn. Right?

[pneumo]

Well...yeah. I mean at first I thought I was human! But I didn't want normal food and I slept all weird... It wasn't until vampires came to the village and told me what I was that I really got it. [ He rubs at the back of his neck a littl weakly, giving a light laugh as he settles against the wolf. ]

I didn't even know what vampires were before that.

[bb_wolf]

[Bigby files that away for later. Might be interesting, relevant. Useful.]

Did you know how to walk and talk when you woke up with amnesia?

[pneumo]

Yeah! I mean, when you turn you only get a little brain damage. Usually it's just human memory that's affected.

[bb_wolf]

But you didn't know vampires existed.

[pneumo]

I guess...I didn't know beforehand then either? I mean, I don't actually remember...anything. Just waking up. I don't get any memory flashes from before that or anything.

[bb_wolf]

Huh.

[His memories are so important to him.]

I wouldn't be me without those memories.

[pneumo]

I think that's probably the point... It helps us become better vampires if we don't remember who we were. [ This he admits without hesitation, starting to climb his way up onto Bigby's side so he can lie atop him comfortably. So long as he's allowed to, anyway. ]

[bb_wolf]

[Bigby allows Sascha's climbing. After so many weeks, he's used to Sascha being in his personal space, even as a wolf.]

I remember being small enough to fit in your hands.

[pneumo]

I wish I could see that... I bet you were adorable~ [ This he hums, nuzzling his face into the other's soft hide with a dreamy sort of smile. ]

[bb_wolf]

I was scabby, dirty and funny looking.

You better not drool on me.

[pneumo]

I won't~~ [ It comes out as singsong as he drops the side of his head happily on Bigby's hide. ]

I don't mind scruffy.
