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.]

[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.

[bb_wolf]

[Bigby huffs.]

Scabby and dirty is less appealing. I was scrawny and sickly and more like a baby bird than the cute puppies you're thinking of.

[pneumo]

But I like you for you! I don't mind if you're dirty or funny-looking~ [ And he means it. Bigby's a giant, terrifying wolf after all; a predator which could eat him at any given moment, and who could easily overpower him. Bigby's a threat.

But Sascha adores him all the same for what kindness and tolerance he's shown, because that is what matters. ]

[bb_wolf]

[He knows Sascha means it. He just doesn't exactly comprehend it.

And he knows he isn't half as nice to Sascha as Sascha probably deserves, but kindness doesn't come naturally to him.

He says nothing, resting his chin on his paws.]

[pneumo]

[ And just as easily, Sascha lies his head down and sinks into the other's soft pelt with a pleased sound.

Then starts working his hands under Bigby's fur in order to give him a good scratch. ]

[bb_wolf]

[Bigby sighs softly and settles down into the floor more. He will allow this scratching for now.

Feels nice.]

[pneumo]

[ He thought Bigby might appreciate it, seeing how he'd claimed to only enjoy it in wolf form rather than human. So Sascha will diligently work his hands in inch by inch, scratching as he goes with an elated expression of his own; it's still an impossible treat to have an animal which doesn't run from him at first chance, and he relishes every moment the wolf allows him to dote on him like this. ]

[bb_wolf]

[Sheltered by his pelt, Big does enjoy a good, enthusiastic rub, as much as he will grumble, complain and protest otherwise.

Big lies there for quite a while, but eventually he gets restless, legs stretching.]

Enough.

[pneumo]

[ And at that point Sascha will push himself upright as he stops, fixing his shades and peering around at the other. ]

Finished?

[bb_wolf]

[Bigby starts rolling, but slowly, not just dumping Sascha straight off without warning.

But if he doesn't move, he will get dumped off.]

Yes. Want to run.

[pneumo]

[ He'll slide down off Bigby on his own, no worries c: he's a little reluctant to of course, but he'll reel and land in a crouch as he touches down, eyes bright. ]

Can I go too??
