[ He and Derek had a talk about it once, biting, which is why Reggie's curious. But that's loaded on his end, nothing he feels like volunteering either, cliff notes or otherwise.
Bringing up Derek at all is loaded, though, in a weird way. Not for nothing, but still, was it worth it? ]
Again. Ultimately, it was worth it. Did it suck for awhile, and did I die once. Yes. Am I dead now? No. Is my life still in danger? Probably not here. Back in Beacon Hills, it may always be, but I did this to myself. Most things I did were to myself. And, before you ask, yes. I've had extensive therapy.
idk if our lives r in danger here or not tbh but point taken cuz if they r that def wouldnt be the reason hell my hometowns plenty dangerous even w/out any werewolves to mix things up
Like no longer being someone's lizard puppet, and finally shifting into a full fledged werewolf who occasionally gets to flex his lizard muscles. And the scientific word you're looking for is Kanima. I'm part werewolf and part kanima.
wtf is that and what do lizards hav 2 do with anything
[ This reminds him that Jackson had described himself as "half" werewolf before, which even then made no sense to Reggie, but he hadn't had a good opportunity to ask how the hell that could be possible. ]
the answers no I'm not at least no more than I have 2 be
Yes. I am both parts when I want to be, and all the time. Technically. When I shifted the first time, the bite backfired and turned me into the werelizard. After I died, my werewolf side activated. And I have both. Like I said.
Maybe I want to know if I'm texting with a murderer.
( Fuck, he does not want to talk about this, not why. Not that his identity was so fractured, that he constantly disappointed and hated himself, that his bite triggered literally and turned him into a deadly creature needing a master. )
Sometimes, the bite reflects who you are as a person. I wasn't a good person.
I've only heard of werewolves, kanimas, a were jaguar and a werecoyote. The last two I've only heard about, and in passing. Also, something called a kitsune. Shit's more complicated than just werewolves where I'm from.
