Dean frowned slightly. He had the distinct impression that she knew some of the thoughts that were going through his mind, and she was lecturing him about it. It made him feel like he'd been knocked down a peg. "Oh, OK," he said. "Well, how many others are in the pack?"

Pearl stopped and placed a finger on her chin thoughtfully for a moment. Their numbers had swelled before the battle of the alley, as she now refered to it in her mind, half a dozen or so? "Half a dozen or so, our numbers change as members leave on missions or unfortunately die." she said smiling at him. "It is our way, much like how and why you have to earn your place and understand way you are treated as you are." she smiled brightly for a second "but you are a pup so I might forgive you." she said ruffling the boy's hair affectionatly.

Dean managed a rare smile. Pearl was unusual, like no one he'd ever met before. He guessed it was because she'd been a werewolf for so long, that she saw the world differently. "Oh, OK," he said. "So what do you guys do as a pack? What kind of missions do you have?"

"We live. We defend against ones that threaten our life and territory, it's the same as our lives. We can't live to near another pack, or there would be a struggle for dominance. We do adopt members...but that's better done we we are humans, the mind of our wolves don't normally take in many strays." She thought about the second part of his question "Our missions, are usually to help either keep a up to date status on our rival packs... Fenir's and others. I would be better pleased if we didn't involve ourselves in the problems of Wizards or Humans, But we must ." she said sighing.

Dean nodded again. "So you get in, like, turf wars with other packs?" He found this interesting. Up until this point, he had been thinking that the pack was some kind of weirdo wizard cult, where they sat around singing Kumbaya all the time. "What else do you do? Do you have jobs, and interact with humans at all?"

Pearl nodded "For lack of better words." She appraised the pup for a moment. " We are not always wolves, but we learn that we are." she said walking again toward chole's home. it was growing in the distance. "What do you know about Werewolves Dean?" Pearl asked suddenly.

Dean hesitated for a moment. "Not much, I guess," he said. "Just what I learned in Defense Against the Dark Arts class. You know, just about the full moon, and how to spot a werewolf, and how to kill them. And they always said werewolves were bad... and dangerous... but you don't look dangerous to me."

"We can be." she said seriously. "But in other words you know nothing." she sighed, how un-educated some children are these days! "Well, it seems we must educate you. Run the rest of the way to that house." she said stopping and pointing to Chloe's house. " I want to see how fast you are." she said crossing her arms over her chest.

"Um, OK," Dean said. He ran as fast as he could toward the house, stopping at the front gate and turning around to face her. "How was that? Do I have super speed now or something?"

Pearl causally jogged toward Dean, "Not nearly, yet." she said reaching him, nary out of breath "It takes time for wolves to get stronger and faster, I do believe the last pup we adopted, Kris, has yet to express any of our most basic traits." she said opening the gate for herself and dean.

"Oh," Dean said, feeling a bit disappointed. He walked with her toward the house. Stopping att he door, he looked at her. "So, do I need lessons or something to be able to learn my powers? Or is there something I have to do?"

"You will learn, it's an active practice." she said opening the door and stepping in. **moving into the other thread non?**

"Ah, OK," Dean said. "Are you gonna teach me? Or someone else?" He followed her through the door and into the house. (Yeah, sounds good.  ) |
