What a surprisingly honest question, “Vito, tell me have you ever had ever single bone in your body broken and elongated all at once and instantaneously?” Hips sway as heels pivot to allow the wolf to see them as they walked ( her now doing so backwards compared to they who moved forward ), “Muscles torn and rebuilt, nails shoved from flesh as claws replace them?” Her transformation was a gruesome one to say the least, and only due to the fact she HADN’T been born this way. Had she of shifts wouldn’t have been so taxing, but she still had many years until she went numb to the sensations- something she despised thinking of. For as well as she handled pain nothing in the world could ever amount to the agony she went through each time she turned into a werewolf.
“Blood boils, nerves fire and you can feel everything and nothing all at once. Mind youse that’s only turning into something. Shifting back? Far worse, or at least I believe. For days after I’m usually unable to move though over the past four, nearly five, years it’s become less burdening. Still, it’s rough, and youse know me enough to know I do not say it was painful, lightly.” Shrug of shoulders as she resumes normal walk, humming a bit, “Oh, and no. I feel like what I am- a monster amongst sheep.”
“ I CAN’T SAY THAT I have, ” they reply easily. iovita has their fair share of scars, some whose origins were more taxing than others, but they are certain that the physical pains they’ve experienced are no where near as bad as... well, that. and that pain? again and again? they catch the shudder before it happens, but their head still jerks slightly to the side at the thought of it. her descriptions are the vivid words of someone who knows the experience intimately. they’re not sure they want to think any deeper on it. “ has anyone told you that you have a lovely way with words? ” they ask aloud, tone dry.
there’s a very focused curiosity on their face, different from the trouble making one they so often wear. no, this one looks like they could be asking questions all day if given half the chance. they’re quiet as she resumes a normal walk, pondering for a long moment. “ you said last four or five years. how long have you been a werewolf? ” another pause, and then they add on in amusement, “ maybe you should ask a sheep what it considers a monster. I think it would point its little sheepy hoof right at the lion. ”
