Sort've. Everyone in our grade knew Cassel. He used to run this bookie operation. [It's hard not to roll her eyes at that, but she manages to instead just have a slightly nostalgic smile.] And I ran a student pro-workers rights club. We didn't exactly hang out in the same crowds.

But I started to date Sam and Cassel and I just became friends after that. I helped him out a few times, but he saved me from a potentially really bad situation. I don't think I'll ever be able to repay him for it.

[There's a small hesitation after he says the word lycanthrope and then she's thinking about wolf behavior.]

Complicates in that you have a hierarchy with alphas, betas, and omegas and get territorial with outsiders who aren't in the pack or am I just stereotyping?
