’ That must be nice. ’ He didn’t know what it was like, and probably never would. ’ Your breed sounds fantastic, minus the whole dying at a certain age kind of thing. ’ He said with a shrug, extending a hand for the other to shake. ’ Gabriel, pleasure to meet you. ‘
“Three hundred and fifty is simply an estimate, like mid-nineties is for humans. There’s always being changed into a vampire or finding a spell for immortality.” With a nod he took the other mans hand, shaking it. “Ephraim. Pleasure to meet you as well, Gabriel.”
’ Do you have control on the full moon? ’ He said, stepping closer to the other slowly. ’ Because I don’t, and no matter how hard i want to have control, I can’t. I turn into this giant beast that craves flesh and blood, and i have to lock myself up to keep me from hurting anyone. Not a typical walk in the park for me. ‘
“That must be unpleasant. The moon stopped controlling my change over a century ago. I’m sure if you found the right person or the right..trick, you could find control. But you are certainly not a Kambri. Our pups know control even before they become a full man or woman.”
’ What breed are you, exactly? ‘
“My mother called us Kambri Werewolves. We die at 350, stop physically aging when we choose and gain control at age ten. And you?”
’ Hunters? Tch — ’ Rolling his eyes, he chuckled. ’ The full moon is tomorrow. That’s the real problem we should all be worrying about. Hunters can be dealt with. ‘
“You see it is a problem while I see it as a night running in Central Park or a Nature Reserve.”
’ I’d better now, then. ’ He said, clearing his throat. ’ It’s rare to meet my own kind, though. Not a lot of us around here. ‘
“Sadly true. Hunters are everywhere and I heard of a pack that completely gave up their wolves. I’ve seen even less of us here in the US.”
’ Is it appropriate to make a dog joke now? ‘
“Depends on how bad the joke is.”
