[ wow, he is so not going to get a pack pr job in the near future. ]
What? Shit- no. I mean I don't know, I'm not from where they're from, I'm just assuming because that's how it works where I'm from.
[ it's a lie, because he knows perfectly well that they were all bitten, but this doesn't feel like the kind of revelation he should be sharing. ]

The line between them is rather thin. I can't actually make herbal medicines without magic; it's just a part of who I am. But I can promise you'll be safe. I won't feed you anything that will hurt you.
[She is, luckily for Josh, not the human lie detector that the other wolves seem to be. She stands there, quiet for a moment, and finally nods.]
Anyway. If he starts to get all pissy territorial on you, you can come to me, okay?
[She's not sure if she means her room. That would be a deeply personal thing. But to her, anyway.]
If you don't want to be part of a pack, you don't have to be. I don't care how wolves usually work.

[ he relaxes quickly when she moves on, although there's a strange tension in the next line that's entirely unrelated. ]
Hey, you're preaching to the choir.
[ because he hates being a wolf, he hates the idea of packs, of anything that takes away his humanity or control. or at least the thinks he does - he's not entirely sure anymore. ]
And thank you.
[ it's sincere. thanks for her offer of help, thanks for what he thinks might be forgiveness after he'd lied to her about what he was. ]

Cub, really? I know I owe you one, but awful pet names are pushing it.
[ he bats her hand lightly away as he says it, but he's smiling. the gesture reminds him of sally, and it's bizarrely comforting given how screwed up the rest of this is. ]
I'll cook. And if you feel the overwhelming urge to lick my finger again, maybe ask first this time.

No. I mean, it does, sometimes, but this-- it's far too weak to have a price tag, beyond, you know, using up ingredients.
Right. Yeah, okay. Consider me in.
[ another pause, because there's something else; he's not sure if it's relevant, but so far remus is the only other wolf who really does the wolf and the magic things, so- ]
Have you ever heard of magic screwing up the curse? Changing it.

Have you ever heard of magic screwing up the curse? Changing it.
No. But to be frank, there isn't much research concerning werewolves-- we're not particularly a concerned for my society.
[This comes a few days after he'd originally intended to send it.]
Is all well?
Is all well?
[ which makes sense, from what he remembers remus saying about it before. he's disappointed to have nothing to go on, but he covers it easily. ]
It was a long shot anyway. Besides, it's not like there's any guarantee your world is anything like mine. The opposite of a guarantee, actually.
Did you want help? With the knotgrass.
[ only judging the name a little tiny bit. ]

Indeed. It seems that injuries were kept to a minimum. Tyke was injured, but she shall recover, they say.

[ NO HE DOESN'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT HOW AWFUL HE IS. he'd rather talk about how awful everyone on the ship is instead thank you. ]
Well that's good, I'm glad everyone's okay. Almost everyone, anyway. Now we just need to figure out what to do with a pile of pirate corpses.

That's a public safety issue. It shouldn't be a "we" issue. You should not be worrying about it.

[A slight pause - ]
You said "what to do with the corpses." The fact of their death is something distinct from what is to be done with the bodies themselves.

[It comes after a pause, because - and he hates himself for this - he feels ill with guilt. Ill with grief over what has happened. He feels like a failure, for not...scaring them away, or...]
Yes. Are you free?
