You look like a guy who might like some red candy…

Hey, Mia! Here – there’s a couple for each of the kids. *he just hands her a bag of skull lollipops*

“Angie likes werewolves just fine. And she’s been around some of my adult children when they were in their wolf forms, along with my mate. The rest of the pack doesn’t really have much reason to be around her while in wolf shape.”
In other words, Angela was used to seeing werewolves as family and safe to be around. Which theoretically meant that she’d expect no harm to come from her Papa in wolf form.
Carlos let out a sigh at that. Good… that was good. Okay, things were shaping up to be alright, so far.
“That’s good to hear – I appreciate it,” he said to Mia. He sighed again. “Okay… and… you’ll be here with us? At least for a little bit?”
“I’ll stay as long as you need me to,” she confirmed. “Or, at least until I’ve had time to prove that you aren’t going to harm her. Have a little faith in yourself, Carlos. I trust you.”
Carlos couldn’t help the huff of laughter that he made. “Right… right, I’ll try. Th… I appreciate your help, Mia. So… should we still have the this rendezvous at my apartment? I have to, um… do a little wolf-proofing here anyhow.”
“You’re welcome, Carlos. And of course we can still do it at your apartment! Angie was looking forward to spending time with you, that includes being in Night Vale with you. When do you want us to come over?”
Carlos sighed. “Well… sometime before nightfall, I think,” he responded. “Just… so I still have the vocal cords to help explain to Angie what’s going to happen. And we can have dinner too, if she hasn’t already eaten. Or dessert – I have some ice cream.”
“That works, yeah. And we hadn’t had dinner yet, I can bring something by if you’d like. Want to say….half an hour, to give you time to do a little prep before we arrive?” She was trying not to be overbearing, letting him have final say in the plans.
“Yeah, if you want to. I have some gluten-free mac and cheese here, and that’s enough to make her and me happy without burning the house down.” Carlos chuckled. “But you’re welcome to bring food over tonight if you want to. Half an hour sounds good… or whatever ‘half an hour’ means for me here in Night Vale. I’ll expect you soon.”

Ohh! Thank you, Pookie! Gosh, I must be the luckiest man in the world. How did I ever get to be so lucky?
Luck has nothing to do with it. It was probable that you and I would end up together, and events just happened to fall into place to make that happen. Very favorable events. 🙂

Carlos wandered through the forest. He knew he’d seen a cave somewhere – it looked like an old bear cave, though he hadn’t gone in it before. He wanted to be as far away from his camp and the summer camps, in case the children had an idea to wander around at night to hunt for snipes. The full moon would make visibility perfect for it, so it was a reasonable concern in Carlos’ mind.
He finally came across the cave he was looking for. And not too soon either – the moon would rise probably within the next ten minutes. Carlos ventured forth, holding his flashlight up to search the inside of the cave. Hopefully it was empty. Could a werewolf beat a bear? Maybe?
He seemed surprised to be stopped by the other, puffing up his wings before growling defencively
Carlos didn’t make another move. He just stood in the other’s way, making a very low growl in his throat, but didn’t try to attack again.
he shot a glare at the other before trying to move around him, making sure not to get too close
Carlos snarled again and jumped in front of the other beast again. You are not going near that camp! Not near those kids!
he snarled, getting fed up with Carlos, so he gave his wings a few flaps, kicking up dirt and dust into the air
Carlos just barked at the other, his hackles raised and teeth bared.
No way, Jose – I don’t give a damn how big you are!

“Uh, sure,” Carlos said. “‘Go to sleep it’s 3 am where you live’. Does that help?”
Very funny.
But yes it does help.
“Good.” He smiled. “But seriously… you should sleep at night. It’ll help you to be healthier to sleep at night.”
Sometimes? Yes…when I don’t really want to turn it can hurt a lot but I’ve learned to handle it. The first time was the worst.
“I can’t imagine that. It’s… well, it’s incredible, frankly.”
