Yeah, I don't think that counts, in the grander scheme of things, at lest. It was weird shit that happens here, but not really...normal, even for this place.
Somehow, I'm not surprised Jeopardy might fall outside of it. I haven't really paid much attention, I'm usually there during the day anyway so.... hm.
I told you. For a friend. That wasn't me being a really terrible liar, it's literally for a friend someone else.
[Saying the word "friend" so many times just felt weird, he had to delete it the last time, okay?!]
[For a moment, just one tiny second, he considers not telling Luther at all. Keeping the information to himself, but... Derek hadn't exactly been shy about admitting it, had he? So it wasn't really a secret, probably...]
Yeah. I mean, if I can meet a dragon, then you can meet a werewolf. And in the scale of things we encountered back home, it's not even the weirdest either.
Alphas and betas are an outdated and inaccurate understanding of wolf pack hierarchies, anyway. It only applies to wolves in captivity.
[ Nerrrrd. And yet, despite the inaccuracy, it isn't too far-off from how Hargreeves' pack and their power dynamics wound up shaking out, anyway. Even in the numbering, it was clear who the assigned alpha and beta had been, and even Vanya the runt of the litter.
One might argue that you're trying to generalize too much.
[A joke for a joke, sir.]
Derek. I know a hell of a lot more about him than you'd expect for a guy I've talked to all of about twice. Pretty chatty. But not in an annoying or obnoxious way.
[Otherwise, Diego wouldn't be dealing with him, probably at all. He doesn't handle annoying or obnoxioius well. Just ask Klaus. buh-dum-tsh.]
[ Not asking because Luther's especially looking to take the guy down, but because he's curious. Because Diego's right. If any of them had a particular Achilles' heel when it came to their physiology, they sure wouldn't tell it to a stranger. ]
Not weaknesses, per se. But he did mention some things. Like the fact that blood lust is definitely a real thing for them. And there's a literal strength to be gained in him having a pack. And it doesn't have to specifically be a pack of other werewolves, either. Apparently, if he decides he's close enough to someone then...same rules apply. He also told me how Alphas are made.

He's a werewolf.

Huh.
[ That's new. And of all the things Luther might've been expecting, he wasn't expecting that, and it throws him for a moment. ]
no subject
But with all the people here, in all their variances, it's really not that surprising.
no subject
But it's still new.
no subject
I don't know a ton about the way it works, exactly, but he's weirdly open about talking about it.
no subject
[ is that? a joke?? from Luther Hargreeves?? ]
no subject
I would probably be the best candidate for it.
For the record, he can't change anyone anyway.
Apparently, he's a Beta, and that's strictly an Alpha's job.

Made sense to me.
[Probably because he wasn't overthinking it, like a nerd.]
I don't think being werewolf has much to do with actual wolves in the wild, Luther.

[ joking. a little. ]
What's his name?

Derek.

But still. It's kind of weird? I'd be way more paranoid about telling people things about how my entire werewolf physiology worked.

I'll let you know if I learn anything strange about the lunar cycles.
