It's always interesting to see how people react to the werewolf thing. Stacia files Taylor's reaction away in the "not the weirdest thing she's ever heard" category.

"Nice to meet you, too," Stacia returns, thus completing the greeting ritual. "I haven't dealt with anything like this specifically, but I've had some experience with magic feelings talks." She makes a face. "At least isn't one where your brain-to-mouth filter gets disengaged. Those suck."

She shrugs. "Mine basically said that I need to ask for emotional support, but I'm generally good at that anyway. Heck, Bunny -- the Easter Bunny -- and I have a standing daily-hug agreement for whenever he's not super busy elsewhere."

(Okay, she's bragging, just a little. But the Easter Bunny thinks she's cute and gives her hugs on demand! What's not to brag about there?)
