[ bless him for moving right along with her, even if it took him a second to get there. it's fine. when you've lived a dozen lifetimes you learn to roll with the embarrassing shit you get up to without even trying. so she can move right along too. ]
Not that often. I've gotten pretty lucky. I mean, there's always one or two lives that aren't exactly what you'd call "long and happy", [ lol one or two ] but for the most part you grow old and hopefully you're not buried before you're, ah, reborn. [ bursting into flames makes that pretty easy though. even when she was hiding her abilities, she's learned how to make sure each rebirth is safe. but those details aren't exactly entertaining, so ] That was just a joke, by the way. [ a beat ] I keep clarifying every time I make a joke. That's not how jokes are supposed to work, is it?
[ she takes a big breath, in a very obvious "give me a second to compose myself" way, even considering the whole "has lived through lifetimes of embarrassment and should be able to handle it by now" thing. it's not so easy, every time she looks up and meets Case's eyes. he's so cute.
stop. nope. not the time. ]
I'm not sure I've ever met a born wolf before. Well, okay, maybe not ever, they just haven't told me that they were. Does that mean you have more wolf-like tendencies, or that you're better in control? Can you shift whenever you want, or is that just a myth? What happens if I scratch you behind the ears? [ she was half serious for a second but LOOK SHE'S NERVOUS she can't just.. be totally serious.. also she knows it's bad form, grilling someone about their life. it's personal. she's old enough to understand that far too well. ]
