[ Quickly, because he wants to make this clear: ]

It wasn't your fault, Dom. You no more wanted to do this than I wanted to die.

We don't yet know for sure that anything will happen, or that it was because you were involved. I've heard that returning from the dead here comes with side effects of some kind. This may simply be a manifestation of the house's magic.

[ Which.. isn't particularly reassuring. But Giles doesn't like the idea of Dom blaming himself. ]

[wicka]

Do u think so?

It's too much of a coincidence though right?

If I

If I'm the one who turned u then it's my responsibility and stuff

[ripher]

It is?

Is that part of your culture?

[wicka]

Yea

I kinda become ur dad
Or guardian

That's the only way I can really explain it...

[ripher]

You become my guardian.

[ Just to be sure he read that right. ]

[wicka]

Yea
I make sure u don't get hurt
And that u don't hurt people either...

[ripher]

That's a rather weighty responsibility.

[ Pause to think about it. ]

Would I be required to
Submit to you?

[wicka]

I guess what I did was pretty [ horrible ] heavy

I mean I guess
There's this whole thing with ranks and stuff

[ He's got zero authority in his genes and he knows it. ]

And I can't just abandon u

[ripher]

Dom, if you felt you couldn't face me, I wouldn't feel as though you abandoned me, but that you needed to take some space from the dark act you were forced to participate in. I wouldn't blame you, at all.

But I would appreciate any advice you want to give.

[wicka]

It's cool

[ it's not cool, but giles is being a lot kinder than dom deserves. ]

I can show u the wards we make
U only have to make them once and then make sure they stay intact
They don't hurt they just keep u inside the circle until the full moon is gone

Avoid silver and that wolfsbane thing
Chocolate's fine as long as it's the artificial stuff


If u transform there's like this whole thing when u turn back human
The wolf skin is gonna sorta melt off u?
IDK how to describe it
But ur probably gonna want to get rid of it

[ripher]

[ Silver and wolfsbane makes sense, but chocolate..? And the.. wolf skin. Good lord. ]

It melts off? It doesn't become part of you again?

[ Regretting not spending more time thinking about how this worked for Oz. Should he have asked about this sort of thing? ]

[wicka]

No not really
Guess it would be weird to just go back into u

The rest is weird too but u know...
