The goal surprised him, it didn’t sound too incredibly difficult. He didn’t even need to comprehend the emotion he was seeing just pick them out. Looked down at his sleeping sisters he decided he would at least give Thatch’s goal a chance before he just shut everything down completely. “That… sounds doable.” He replied as he brought his gaze back up to Thatch.

“Thank you,” Thatch said, “It means a lot you’d give me a chance after how horrible your current doctor has treated you.”

“ I know Songbird would be displeased if I didn’t give you a chance since you haven’t done anything to delay my progress.” He replied. “Besides it would be unfair of me to judge you based on the actions of someone else. “

Harlow smiled at the news their tail wagged as they looked back at Hanna. “I am, these people are so nice.. and you are very nice too! Thank you for bringing me into your home Hanna!”

“You’re welcome. Now you stay outta trouble. I’ma go find Jayne and help him make everyone food,” Hanna said as he stood, putting his ears and tail away.

“He’s a good man, that one,” Thatch commented before turning to Harlow, “I’m going to go get the things you need and bring them here so you have your own things. Alright, Harlow? If you think of anything else, let my son know and he’ll message me.”

Harlow nodded “I will.” They replied before they grabbed their bottle of water and took another drink from it.

Harlow looked over at Hanna as the werewolf explained what had happened to make the rare hybrid. “Oh. interesting.” They said softly. They were intrigued and perhaps they could get someone to tell them more about it. “Im glad she is okay though..”

“She’s better than okay,” Thatch reassured, “She’s thriving. And she’s not upset about her mixed status either.” The vampire turned to Hanna. “Cassandra knew the risks when she became a huntress and got infected saving lives. She has no regrets and does not blame you for being a werepire. In fact, she’s a bit grateful to not be a pure vampire. She just would not have been cut out for it.”

“Thanks,” Hanna said with a sigh, “So… Harlow… Are you glad you let Jayne and I pick you up now? I know you were scared at our home.”

Harlow smiled at the news their tail wagged as they looked back at Hanna. “I am, these people are so nice.. and you are very nice too! Thank you for bringing me into your home Hanna!”

Gale shifted his gaze off Thatch at the vampire’s offer. He was kind of tired of goals they were usually pretty unattainable and the few goals that he could complete he didn’t get much praise for to make him want to do more.

with a soft sigh he nodded, he supposed he should hear thatch’s goal out anyways so he could shoot the doctor down.

“It’s simple. I want you to watch a few movies and find depictions of three emotions for me. Joy, Anger, and the hardest will be Love,” Thatch stated simply, “I’m not going to ask you to understand them. I just want you to try and recognize them. And even if you miss one, that’s okay. This is not a test. This is for you to try and learn what the emotions look like.

I cannot ask you to try and comprehend or feel those emotions. That won’t work. So I want to work with what you can do. And what you can do is try to find what a depiction of those emotions are. I’ll give you a month and then when the month is up, show me the depictions you chose and we’ll discuss them. That is it. What do you think?”

The goal surprised him, it didn’t sound too incredibly difficult. He didn’t even need to comprehend the emotion he was seeing just pick them out. Looked down at his sleeping sisters he decided he would at least give Thatch’s goal a chance before he just shut everything down completely. “That... sounds doable.” He replied as he brought his gaze back up to Thatch.

“Thank you again for the offer.. I may take you up on it… I don’t care for my current doctor he pushes me wrong.” Gale replied softly. “He sets goals he knows I will fail just to prove my dad right that there is no helping me.”

“He should be stripped of his medical license,” Thatch hissed, “Doctors are not supposed to ‘take sides’. They’re supposed to do what’s best for the patient. May… I offer a goal to you and get your opinion? See what you think of how I’d practice medicine with you?”

Gale shifted his gaze off Thatch at the vampire’s offer. He was kind of tired of goals they were usually pretty unattainable and the few goals that he could complete he didn’t get much praise for to make him want to do more.

Harlow’s brows raised into their hairline. They’d never heard of vampires and werewolves being able to intermingle like that due to their toxicity to each other. They kind of wanted to ask how such a thing were possible but they could sense that was a very loaded question. “oh.. thats.. kinda cool. i didn’t know that was even possible.” The hybrid replied sounding awed.

“It normally wouldn’t be,” Hanna explained, “However the strain of vampirism was an infectious one. It takes awhile to take hold. In an attempt to cure Cassie of vampirism, we gave her some of my venom. The problem we ran into is that rather than cancel each other out, since both strains were infections, she became both. Y’see, Cassie was a huntress. She got bit on a job we all did together.”

Harlow looked over at Hanna as the werewolf explained what had happened to make the rare hybrid. “Oh. interesting.” They said softly. They were intrigued and perhaps they could get someone to tell them more about it. “Im glad she is okay though..”

Gale went quiet as he looked at the vampire. He was shocked that someone was actually praising him rather than just pointing out his shortcomings. Turning his gaze to the floor the corner of his mouth raised up a little and a touch of color lit his cheeks. “Ah.. Thank you..”

“You’re most welcome, Gale. And… While I may not be your doctor, I know your current one is shite. If you ever need anything or want to talk things out or even just express how hard it is to grasp the emotions of others, I’m here for you,” Thatch offered.

“Thank you again for the offer.. I may take you up on it... I don’t care for my current doctor he pushes me wrong.” Gale replied softly. “He sets goals he knows I will fail just to prove my dad right that there is no helping me.”

“That’s correct,the original samples certainly help me a lot in developing my cures.” Gale said. “It’s certainly had it’s uses a time or two already.”

Harlow looked up at Hanna their expression understanding. But they were also a bit curious about these cures that Gale had. Perhaps once they were all healed up they could ask Gale to show them the files.

Gale glanced over at Harlow and he nodded “I don’t mind showing you the files on them. I just ask that you don’t speak of them to anyone outside the family.” He said. At Harlow’s look of confusion the vampire tapped the side of his head “You were thinking pretty loudly. Forgive me if i invaded your privacy.”

Harlow went pink, they weren’t used to people being able to hear their thoughts “Its okay.. Just.. please don’t do it again.” They replied.

“I won’t.” Gale vowed giving the hybrid a reassuring smile.

“In the meantime, how’s Cassie,” Hanna asked, “She been doing okay?”

“The werepire? Oh she’s doing wonderfully. She’s finally got shifting down pat and can now turn into a bat sized wolf with wings,” Thatch stated, “Oh and she’s been sort of dating someone lately.”

“Oh? Who,” Hanna asked.

“The hunter who was with her when she was turned,” Thatch stated, “He calls her frequently and he’s planning to visit.” The vampire then turned to Harlow. “You’re not the only ‘mixed’ were on the mountain. We have a woman who’s half vampire and half werewolf.”

Harlow’s brows raised into their hairline. They’d never heard of vampires and werewolves being able to intermingle like that due to their toxicity to each other. They kind of wanted to ask how such a thing were possible but they could sense that was a very loaded question. “oh.. thats.. kinda cool. i didn’t know that was even possible.” The hybrid replied sounding awed.

“Oh thats good, we weren’t sure we’d have enough sedative to keep the wolves quiet that night.” Gale replied his tone a touch relieved.

“Because of the aggression my species is known for, we take lunar events very seriously,” Hanna said sadly, “I can’t take the risk of ever becoming like them. It’s too dangerous.”

“You’re a European werewolf,” Jesse asked, “I read about them in Father’s files. I thought pure Euro werewolves were extinct and only mixed species were left.”

“They are because of me. I’m the last pure Euro werewolf known to exist,” Hanna admitted, “I made a cure because of how aggressive the species is. It’s the base that your Dad uses for the other cures he’s made. Right, Gale?”

“That’s correct,the original samples certainly help me a lot in developing my cures.” Gale said. “It’s certainly had it’s uses a time or two already.”

Harlow looked up at Hanna their expression understanding. But they were also a bit curious about these cures that Gale had. Perhaps once they were all healed up they could ask Gale to show them the files.

Gale nodded. “Me either.. they deserve to rest.” He replied softly as he looked at the vampire. “Besides they all look.. whats the word? Cute, all curled up together like that.”

“Yes. That is the correct word,” Thatch praised, “Excellent word association, Gale. And I do mean that sincerely. I understand that the meaning of emotions and scenes like this are difficult and so I want to encourage and praise when you make the correct correlation.”

Gale went quiet as he looked at the vampire. He was shocked that someone was actually praising him rather than just pointing out his shortcomings. Turning his gaze to the floor the corner of his mouth raised up a little and a touch of color lit his cheeks. “Ah.. Thank you..”

Hades came forward and wrapped his arms around the vampire in a hug. “Thank you!” He said happy that he’d be allowed to learn.

Abbi smiled warmly at how cute Hades was being. “And I’ll help you too Hades, i might not know as much as Thatch but I do know a few things.” She said catching the snake demon’s attention.

“I guess this means we’re all one weird and salty at Mason family,” Sam said with a snicker, “We’ll all take care of you, Hades. Don’t worry. Now then. Food and movie time!”

By the end of the movie, only Gale and Thatch were left awake, the vampire getting up to cover the girls, Senza, and Hades with blankets. He found it rather adorable that Hades had curled up with Senza for the extra warmth while the twins were using Sam’s boobs as pillows, the blond herself the only one using a normal pillow.

Thatch snickered quietly and turned to Gale. “I don’t have the heart to wake them.”

Gale nodded. “Me either.. they deserve to rest.” He replied softly as he looked at the vampire. “Besides they all look.. whats the word? Cute, all curled up together like that.”

“I don’t mind, its just upstairs top floor.” Gale directed. He then thought towards his wife to let her know the hunter was coming up to cook so she didn’t get startled.

“Also with that super lunar blood moon thing coming, Mrs. B. and I have whipped up a LOT of lupin for you,” Hanna interjected, “It’s in the truck, but we basically have three pounds of the stuff refined and turned into needles. They’re also distilled so Hella strong. Even Grandma helped make these… Should help keep all the wolves quiet that night.”

“Oh thats good, we weren’t sure we’d have enough sedative to keep the wolves quiet that night.” Gale replied his tone a touch relieved.

Harlow took the offered tissues with a soft thank you, wiping their face they looked up at Gale to ask him if it was okay.

Gale smiled as he came close “You’re free to stay here Harlow I don’t mind. I just ask that if you borrow any thing that you put it back where you found it okay?” He said gently.

The hybrid nodded “Of course sir!” they squeaked.

“No need to call me sir, just call me Gale, we’re friends after all.” Gale said as he gently pet them.

“Now we just need someone to make breakfast,” Jesse mused, “Mom’s on bed rest, after all.”

“I can cook,” Galahad said quietly. He’d honestly prefer it. It gave him something to do and access to weapons in a house of supernaturals. “If no one minds me taking over the kitchen, that is.”

“I don’t mind, its just upstairs top floor.” Gale directed. He then thought towards his wife to let her know the hunter was coming up to cook so she didn’t get startled.

The snake demon did a little wiggly dance at the news. “mm I’d like that! I wanna learn lots of things!” He said. He hoped he could learn all kinds of things like how to read and draw or even cook! all of those things interested him greatly.

“I’ll be more than happy to teach you what I can. And if it’s something that I cannot, I’ll find someone who can teach you,” Thatch said warmly, “Everyone deserves an education, after all.”

Hades came forward and wrapped his arms around the vampire in a hug. “Thank you!” He said happy that he’d be allowed to learn.

Abbi smiled warmly at how cute Hades was being. “And I’ll help you too Hades, i might not know as much as Thatch but I do know a few things.” She said catching the snake demon’s attention.

“Good. He deserves to have his own identity.” Gale said.

Hades looked between Gale and Thatch and his eyes began to shine as he beamed “I get to have my own things?” He asked.

“Of course,” Thatch stated, “You’re your own person. That said, if you’ve been living as a pet for your life… If you’re up for it, I’d like to assess your education level and see about tutoring you if you want it.”
