We're just born this way? Uhm. Silver doesn't do anything to us. We're not ruled by the moon or anything. Stuff like that. And yeah, there are other kinds of shape-shifters. I think we're the most common, though. So to speak.
I think there are some that are born where I'm from, but - well, I actually have no idea how it works for them. They don't really hand out pamphlets, but we do have purebreds.
How I... ? [ it takes a second, but- ] How I became a wolf?
[ twice, and quite messily, actually. ] I was scratched. Where I'm from, it's a... curse. [ he'd rather say infection, or disease, but that line of thinking never got him anywhere back home in terms of a cure. ]
Which is why I'm not sure how the purebreds work. I don't think people who are cursed can have children.
[he's not sure which would be worse - being born with it or having it forced on you. Neither really offers a choice, but - at least you knew what to expect when you were born a wolf. Andy's heard stories of rebellious wolves who want to be fully human, but they might as well just be rumors.]
Oh - you're married? I didn't realize. [Or did he? Andy is trying to remember if Josh mentioned that before and it slipped his mind. That would be awkward. And rude.] Uhm - what's her name?
[ don't worry bro, he's been too distracted by wolf talk to notice or care. ] Nora. She's never been here, so that's... good. Can't say I'm not slightly jealous. Your wife is... ? [ he's pretty sure he didn't get a name either, now they're even. ]
Also a good name. [ said with a smile that's easy to hear. ]
Hopefully I'll get to meet her sometime - and maybe she can help towel you off at the jumps from now on. [ when you're a dog, that sounds weird otherwise. AND SHE CAN'T BECAUSE SHE'S GONE HAHAHA sorry ]

Sorry.

[ he might've said that to be polite, at one point, but now it feels surprisingly honest. ]
It's - I met my wife. Because of it, and I probably never would have otherwise, so- it's not all terrible.
[ the wedding was fairly recent, space abduction aside. he's still in that phase. ]
