ACTION

[technohap]

[There's a blinking red light coming towards you out of the darkness. It's very high up and you don't know where it's coming from. Then you see this. A HAP (aka werewolf) wearing an electronic collar with a blinking red light. What will you do?

Henry whines slightly, painfully aware of his current state and his inability to transform into his usual one.]

Comments

[technohap]

[Not exactly but it's close enough considering he can't correct her. So he nods, the red light dipping and rising to prove his point. He doesn't want to hurt her.]

[heloise]

[ Lucrezia takes a deep breath and slowly reaches out a hand to trace an outline of his form in the air. ]

Romulus. [ She bites back a smile. ] May I take my candle?

[technohap]

[He's not sure what that means but he nods again in answer to her question. Then he waits. Better let her make the first moves. He doesn't want to scare her again.]

[heloise]

[ She dares to smile wider now, taking one step forward and crouching slowly to retrieve her fallen candle. ]

Kind Romulus. Are you hungry or lost?

[technohap]

[This time he shakes his head. He's not hungry or lost, just confused.]

[heloise]

[ She holds the candle against herself but doesn't light it, watching him with curiosity. ]

Do you have a master, Romulus? A friend, perhaps?

[technohap]

[He nods, watching her in return. He has friends here. Not so much a master though.]

[heloise]

[ She smiles kindly to him, like to a child. ]

I can help you find them, Romulus.

[technohap]

[More nodding, wishing he could communicate in another way. But he's thankful she is no longer scared.]

[heloise]

[ She nods, crouching down to retrieve her book and hold it against her hip. ]

Well then, we shall play a guessing game. Do your friends live in this castle?

[technohap]

[Henry nods and sits down on the ground. This is going to take a while.]

[heloise]

[ Lucrezia seems more than amused, flopping down to the ground with her skirt forming a sort of nest around her. ]

Do they live in one of the towers?

[technohap]

[There's a moment of indecision as Henry tries to remember where the Docs rooms are. Then he shakes his head. No towers.]

[heloise]

Then... is it on the first floor?

[technohap]

[Nope. Shake of head. Try again!]

[heloise]

[ She chuckles. He seems more adorable by the minute, really. ]

Seventh floor.

[technohap]

[Another shake and of the head and he rests it on his paws. He'd smile if he could, glad she was enjoying his company.]

[heloise]

[ And how could she not? Imagine those Romans' faces when they hear of a Spaniard meeting a close relative of Rome's founder! ]

Third floor!

[technohap]

[He may be that in your world, miss. But not is his own. He did lookup at that though. Helen's room was on the third floor so he nodded.]

[heloise]

[ She would call him Romulus regardless. At his reply, she claps her hands with glee and makes to stand up. ]

To the third floor we go then!

[technohap]

[He also stand then drops to all fours. It's easier to walk this way and his shorter stature he hopes will make him less intimidating.]
