I'm glad you're coming along with us... having friends around will, I hope, make Danielle feel a little better. (And don't tell her, but I think I'd rather have you drive my beloved car than Dani, especially in a situation where she's bound to be upset)

You went along with Danielle last time she returned to her former home, as I recall. Would you mind filling me in on what to expect? Pitchforks? Torches? No tar, I hope... getting it off skin is bad enough. Getting it off fur would be impossible, and I wouldn't be half so handsome shaved all naked.

Also, I understand you pummelled Sheldon last time. I don't suppose there's any hope that he's anything close to my own impressive size, and that I can thus pound on him a little without feeling guilty? I haven't met the boy yet, and already I dislike him enormously.

You'd think as this story apparently snowballs, that I'd ridden in on a white charger and saved her from a dragon. Sheldon pushed Dani down, I cheap-shotted him with a taser, kicked him in the stomach, and spent a good half-hour in the hotel afterwards puking my guts up about it. He's a LOT closer to my size than yours. An inch or two shorter than Dani, I think.

The area she's from isn't too bad. Not sure how they'd take to a visible mutant - if you ask me, I say screw 'em, but that's just my particular point of view. I will grudgingly admit that an image inducer may be on the safer side.

And of course I'm going to go along. Told her I'd help her see this through. She was the first person here who deigned to talk to me like an equal, as a person - I can at least help her out with this.

I heard about the pushing. I treated the bruises - one of the major reasons why I already don't like him. It sounds entirely justified to me. Of course, I've been known to go somewhat berserk in the defense of the helpless.

I was planning to wear an inducer - It's very difficult for me to actually feign normality, but I'll use the inducer to at least conceal my fur and claws. Better the mutant-pro-wrestler look than the mutant-hyacinth-gorilla.

And again, I'm sorry we didn't really get to know each other right away. I'm glad you two both have such a good friend, though.

I'm not overly fond of the guy. His family's rather bigoted about the mutant thing, didn't see any literature or anything, so I doubt they're FoH or any of those kind. Just one-track minds.

Don't feel bad, Doc. I wasn't exactly everyone's first choice for best buddy when I showed up here. Lot's changed since then.

We'll both have to do our best to keep them apart as much as possible, I think... I certainly don't intend to let him upset Danielle any more than she already has been. It's not good for her, or for the baby. I know they'll have to see each other for the actual divorce proceedings, but other than that...

A great deal has changed, since then, for all of us.
