[ his immediate response is confusion, brows furrowing, because he's not quite sure he follows. ]
Help with... help with what, the shift?
[ it wasn't an unheard of concept. even pete had implied you could make it a bit easier, but he'd likened it to a heart attack anyway. ]

Oh-- sometimes. Not as much as others. Why?
I'm not...
[ how to say 'that sounds like an awful idea' without sounding ungrateful. ]
It's dangerous. Not that I don't think you can take care of yourself, clearly you can, but - I'm pretty sure the wolf would try to bite your head off. Unless you're talking meditation and accepting the wolf, which is a really nice idea, but - well, then the wolf just tries to bite my head off.
[ seriously, it's this whole dreamscape thing. his wolf is a dick. ]

[ he's slightly hesitant, as if this is some weird and embarrassing issue. which it kind of is, actually. ]
I might... need some. Some I can inhale.
[ does that count as a potions thing. he's hoping so, because he doesn't really want to run it through medbay. ]

[She gives him a look. It's the kind of appraising look that a woman might give a man who she's considering sleeping with, except in this case it's less "I want to sleep with you" and more "I refuse to let some no-name pussy alpha wolf get in my way," and Josh is the prize.
It's a very cat look.]
You're not a member of his pack, are you?
[Because there's etiquette and fuck it she'll break it if you are.]

[ jesus christ. except he's totally seen that look, if a slightly more wolfy variety, and usually from nora and usually in more intimate circumstances, but-
not really appropriate associations, very much not the time. ]
I'm not... sure.
[ he honestly isn't. still, not the most convincing of answers. ]

[Yes, if he would have seen it before, that would be the place. She just snorts. I'm not sure. What a guy answer. No conviction at all.]
You know he has the social skills of a mentally disabled sea slug, right?
[Her conversation with him was exactly ten minutes of her day but man did that guy need some serious etiquette lessons]

[ that earns a short, sharp laugh. ]
Yes, I am very, very aware of that fact. Thanks for pointing it out so eloquently, though.
But he's a wolf. He's...
[ oh god is he going to say this ]
And this kills me to admit, trust me, because I'd genuinely rather cut my own face off than say this, but he's actually better at the werewolf thing than I am at the moment. I need his help.

Oh! Well, I can ask Sirius to grind you some up. I think he, er, might have better equipment for that. But I'll be sure to plant some for you.
Well, I'll play by those rules for the teenagers because they're kids.
[She already asked, regarding Boyd, and kind of, regarding Stiles]
It's good to know you're keeping some independence. But really, what I wanted to ask - are all the wolves here kids? I mean, except for you. And that one guy. Peter.

[ still weird talking about wolf stuff. he's seen remus around some, but aside from a few serious chats on the network, it hasn't really come up. ]
I don't know. But I think it might - I've seen it help other wolves, back where I'm from. They were different, but it's worth trying, right?
[ he hopes they were different, anyway. ]

[ that gets a pause, because he doesn't actually know about peter. it's not a name that's come up before, and he wants to ask more, but - now's not the time to dig, at least not with daphne. ]
I don't know. There are a lot of kids, which is - so phenomenally messed up I can't even begin to explain it to you. They're... easily influenced.
[ he's not talking about any young wolves on the ship when he says it, and it almost trips him up for a second, mind wandering before he gets back on track. ]
They think they understand the consequences. Of what they are, of the world it puts them in, but - I don't think they know the half of it.

Absolutely. Er-- if you'd like-- I'm trying to work out something to try and ease my own transformations. Would you be interested in trying whatever I come up with with me?
