[Billy's face appears on the screen, it's clear he's worried. It's also kind of obvious he hasn't slept; dark circles rim his tired eyes. He looks exhausted and not at all like his normal bright self.]

Uh, has anyone seen my boyfriend? Tall, blond, incredibly too good looking for me, answers to the name Teddy. I seem to have misplaced him.

[Or he was still avoiding Billy. Or the real reason he couldn't find him was that he'd been sent home, home before they could even talk about what happened. Before he could apologize...at least Teddy wouldn't remember anything.]

If you see him, tell him...just tell him I'm looking for him.



Private text to Kate.

Tell me you're still here. I can't lose you too Katie.

(OOC: Action is also fine if you want to find him wandering around looking for Teddy. He could use the distraction :) Edit: He's also apparently now at the bar, someone keep him from drinking too much? Yeah? )

[Well that's awesome. He resists the urge to make a twilight joke, mostly because Teddy and he have a pack never to speak of those books again. ] That's awesome. So you're like their leader? Is anyone else from your pack here? I mean, you don't have to tell me if it's supposed to be secret.

[He smiles as Rufus tries to scramble out of his arms and greet Scott with proper puppy kisses.] I didn't even know there was one, that's good to know.

[Please, no Twilight jokes. He'd have to facepalm.]

Kinda. I like to think of it more like being their guardian. They're my friends and they don't have to actually be werewolves to be part of a pack. They just have to be people you care about--people you'd protect with your life. Kinda like an extended family. So that kinda answers your second question. [He laughs softly.] Some of my friends are here and I've made new friends here that I'd call unofficial pack. Back home, there are wolves, coyotes, foxes, banshees, and humans in my pack.

[When Rufus starts scrambling, Scott reaches out to let Rufus sniff him and pet him.]

Yeah, it's on the first floor across from Martha's clinic. Humans on one side, pets on the other. [He laughs again.] Room two.

[No Twilight jokes...mostly because he will never admit he knows what they are. ]

That's kind of really cool actually. I don't know anyone that can shift into an animal, at least that I know of. I know shapeshifter but Teddy usually sticks to humans. [ Not counting the time he was a chair, but he didn't choose that one. ] Can you change at will or just like during a full moon?

[Billy lets Rufus crawl over into Scott's arms and go for face kisses. ] Sorry, he is the worst guard dog, he loves everyone.

[notmymccalling]

[Yes, good. Very good.]

Well, it's not... as cool as it sounds. Like, some can, but I can't shift into a full wolf. Not like one you'd recognise as a wolf, I mean. A friend of mine, from what I'm told, his mom could shift into a full wolf. But most of us just shift into something... somewhere between. [He smiles sheepishly.] Kinda more nightmare fuel than majestic. But yeah, I can shift at will. The full moon doesn't force us to shift or anything, it just makes controlling our wilder instincts a bit difficult. But you seriously don't have to worry about that with me. I've been in control since my second moon. The first one was a little shaky.

[Scott happily cuddles and holds the crawly puppy, assaulted by puppy kisses as he laughs.] It's--[He stops and tips his head up out of reach of those kisses so he can talk without fear of puppy tongue.] It's okay. I'm sure he'd protect you if you were in danger. You don't have to be vicious for that.

[actualwizard]

[He takes in Scott's words, nodding as he talks. ] Interesting, is that why you were out walking that night last month? And I'm not worried. [He smiles at Scott reassuringly. He wasn't worried, for one he could easily protect himself and two he knew Scott well enough to know he'd never put someone in danger. ]

That's true. [He thought of Teddy, who was the sweetest guy he'd ever met until you threaten the ones he loves. Rufus really was an appropriate name, ]

[notmymccalling]

Yeah. I was feeling kinda... itchy. I'd been too cooped up and it can make a full moon a little harder to handle, so I decided getting out a bit would help. [He smiles, relieved that Billy actually wasn't afraid of him. His mom had been terrified for a while when she found out and that pained him. He never wanted to see people look at him like that.]

[He scratched the puppy behind the ears when it settled a little bit.] People and pets can surprise you like that. The things they'll do for people they love.
