[A few seconds of silence, and then:]

Ah. I may have met him already.

[ WHOA HOLD YOUR FUCKING HORSES ]

Elaborate.

text;

[theshabbiestofmen]

Well, he rather came over to me after the Jump, and asked me if I was part of your pack, and-- well, I assumed you two knew each other, given that he was smelling me, and I said the first thing I could think of, which was "Yes."

text;

[altercate]

Don't go near him. Not until I've talked to him.

text;

[theshabbiestofmen]

Is he a threat?

text;

[altercate]

At times.

text;

[theshabbiestofmen]

How so?

text;

[altercate]

[ there's a frustrated pause. ]

It's a long story.
Just be careful around him.
Don't go near him if you can avoid it.

text;

[theshabbiestofmen]

I won't, but-- do you need help, Derek? If he's really such a threat, perhaps I can help.

text;

[altercate]

[ the answer should be yes. but it's derek, so. ]

Not yet.
Just be careful.

text;

[theshabbiestofmen]

I will. You as well, all right? I'd hate to gain you as a friend only to have you be hurt so quickly.

text;

[altercate]

[ oh god he's a second isaac ]

I heal fast.

text;

[theshabbiestofmen]

Still.

text;

[altercate]

I'll be careful.

text;

[theshabbiestofmen]

Thank you. And again-- if you need help, I'm more than capable of giving it. Just a reminder.

text;

[altercate]

I know. You're pack. We're pack.

[theshabbiestofmen]

[He doesn't reply for a time-- but only because he's beaming at his communicator, utterly delighted by the words, unsure how to communicate that without coming off like a teenaged girl.]

I meant to ask you-- you're alpha, correct? Does that make me a beta?

text;

[altercate]

[ remus stop being adorable. ]

Normally I would say yes.
But you're not from my world. It could be different.

text;

[theshabbiestofmen]

So it's more of a blood thing, then? I mean, it's not just a name. Or it goes beyond a name.

text;

[altercate]

It's more than just a name.
It's hard to define, it's just.
You feel it. In your bones.

text;

[theshabbiestofmen]

Well, I'm not entirely certain if I feel anything yet, but, on the other hand, this is all terribly new to me.

text;

[altercate]

It might be different for you.
We'll see.
It may take time.

text;

[theshabbiestofmen]

All right.

My next full moon is coming up soon. It might be on a different schedule than yours. Er-- do you want to be with me? I usually lock myself in a room.

text;

[altercate]

I'll be there.
