Are you ever?

Assuming whatever you were running from doesn’t follow, enter the pasture, and massacre everybody - sure, you’ve won.

[eonsadrift]

...

[ That sure is a very real fear he has that he is absolutely not going to telegraph. But he does subtly grit his teeth against the guilt. ]

That won't happen. He wouldn't risk her.

[misdeerection]

[ his smile widens considerably. ]

You don’t know that. How many of you went out into the mist? You disrupted their peace, killed their kind, and stole from them among half a dozen other things, no doubt. If they don’t actively seek revenge, then something is surely going to happen to those who dare to set foot in their domain again.

But congrats on stealing a corpse!

[ He knows all that!! He knows how bad this is!! He knows that Clover is now personally on the shitlist of the guy who fucked over the pasture the last time they did something like this, and he's not sure what to do about it or if it was worth it or- ]

Don't you have anything better to do?!

[misdeerection]

…No!

[misdeerection]

But you’re the one making a ruckus. How could I not marvel at how you’d put on a spectacular light show while grave robbing?

[eonsadrift]

That wasn't our fault. And I'm going to kill whoever did that.

[misdeerection]

I’ll be sure to keep an eye out. I wouldn’t want to miss that.

[eonsadrift]

Ugh. You really need to find something better to do with your time.

[misdeerection]

In this place, haha!, … unlikely.

But I do want to hear about your exploits. Did you end up meeting the big, bad wolf. [ warden told him about ceo, but I can’t remember if he got name dropped. ]

[eonsadrift]

I suppose I am more interesting than most of the other people here. [ you included. ]

Not only did I meet him, he bit me.

[misdeerection]

And you're not concerned about lycanthropy?

[eonsadrift]

I'm an expert in handling lycanthropy by now.

[misdeerection]

Just asking. Everybody - including Red - was making a big deal about it.

[eonsadrift]

It is a big deal. It's just a manageable big deal if you know what you're doing, which I do.

Wolfsbane… or D̸̨̢̳͍͔͖̙͚̥̞͍͔̒͜ͅe̵̢̡̨͉̝͕̳̠̩̦͍̝̥͍̿̒̓̾͋̽͆̑͜͜ḁ̵̪̳̅̍̃͂͐̅̏͝t̴̺̼͌̇͆̉̏̌̆̕̕̚͝ḩ̵̢̮̺̗̗̮͙̞͖̥̤̭̩͚́̾͛̈̇̃̈́͑̈́͂̆̚͜ͅ

[eonsadrift]

Like I said. I know how to manage it.

[misdeerection]

Do the deceased need a new body because the body, itself, is infected and not the soul?

[eonsadrift]

[ don't call his bluff that he's never actually killed anyone to solve the werewolf problem- ]

They... need a new body. You have to destroy it.

[misdeerection]

[ he was genuinely curious! ]

[ he does note the hesitation... ]

[ pointedly looks at his arm. ] And what of your bite?

[eonsadrift]

I'm going to get it checked, and if I'm infected, I'll have a trusted confidant prepare me tea.

[misdeerection]

[ if… hm. ]

Excuse me, prepare tea?

[eonsadrift]

Wolfsbane tea. It's only effective if you haven't turned into a wolf yet, but it handles the infection.

You already seem so knowledgeable, did no one tell you about that?

[misdeerection]

I never asked about lycanthropy. [ because he doesn't care if there's a cure. ] It just seemed to be the talk of the town! and I was also hanging around a particularly fun little were-.

[eonsadrift]

...so you learned all of that incidentally?

-wait, what? Are you infected?!
