Hey there, stranger. Don't think I gotta explain the situation: you called, I didn't pick up. Leave me a message and maybe I'll get back to you.

[Sorry, Jesse. Maybe in the future Roxas will be more up for talking. It's still too raw right now.]

Depends. You're planning on not attacking loved ones, so you need to learn what's safe to hunt. Usually I go after smaller animals and monsters when I need to. Never deer or townsfolk.

[almightythirst]

Any way to just avoid eatin' anything when you're like that?

[ He doesn't much like the thought of eating an animal raw, but it's better than a person, deer, or chasing one of the Authority around like a cartoon character. ]

Not really. Wolf form is something else... it's like you're always hungry. It's worse around the full moon. I think the hunger would go away if a person got eaten, like they hinted at in a book Newt gave me, but I don't think I want to eat anyone.

[Even if he's been very tempted a few times.]

Smelling blood makes the hunger worse. Makes thinking hard.

I have noticed I can eat my own weight in food some days around that time. Haven't had a problem right on a full moon since I'm locked up tight, but... if I ever did get out, I wouldn't want to eat anyone either.

[ He shudders, attempting to shake off the thought. ]

Alright then. How... do you practice this? [ He's all about a good training regimen. ]

[missingache]

[Practice? He tilts his head as he thinks.]

Raw meat. I've gotten used to the smell of blood for the most part by adding raw meat from the butcher to my diet. It doesn't make me as crazy, and it helps with the hunger feeling. Hot blood from a fresh wound can be hard to stay sane around, though. I try to get away when someone gets hurt.

[ Jesse grimaces, even as something in his stomach grumbles agreeably with the thought. Augh. ]

I like a good rare steak, but this is kickin' it up a notch. You got a point there though. And gettin' away when people are hurt... that's a good tip. Guess it isn't a bother when it's your own blood though, is it? Least not that I've noticed.
