>Creature lets go, lands at my feet>Look down at my jacket>Claw marks and bits of chestnut fur all over>This is not gonna be easy to explain>"Maybe, but it's more fun when I don't.">Followed by snickering as she looks at my jacket>And yes, it's a she>Well, sheWOLF more like it>Whole body covered in fur minus places where it counts>Wolf-like ears protruding from the mess of red hair >Not quite wolf face but not quite human face>Torn red flannel button-up and ripped faded jeans>Textbook werewolf right here>"And YOU could've warned me you were coming a day early. The full moon's not till tomorrow.""I know, but that's kinda why I came out early. I wanted to ask you something."

>"Yeah, but you know why. People would freak out if they saw something like me running around...">She pouts>Hear her mutter something about stupid humans"Right. So, I was thinking, what if we went out at a time when people wouldn't think twice about how you look?"

>"Okay! Wait, what should I wear?""..."
>"Oh, right! See ya then!">She gives me a final kiss before bounding off>I smile>Can't wait for tomorrow
