"You new around here? ...You look, um, kinda lost?" shifts weight from one foot to the other
Lost? Yes….but not anymore
"Well, you're in luck." grins "I happen to know this place like the back of my hand. Need a tour guide?"
raises an eyebrow, smirking Alright, let's get started then. How about we start with the most iconic spot in the reservation?
gestures towards the east Well, it's a scenic spot overlooking the river. The sunsets there are absolutely breathtaking. Follow me, I'll show you the way.
starts walking, occasionally looking back to make sure TigerCascade is following So, tell me a bit more about yourself.
Smiles and follows I’m tiger and I just got out of protection custody… what about you?
"Ah, protection custody, huh?" nods understandingly "Well, my name's Jacob Black. I'm a member of the Quileute tribe, born and raised here on the reservation." pauses briefly "And I'm glad to hear you just got out. What did you do to end up in custody?"
Smirks lets just say that… Im not entirely human
stops walking, turns to face TigerCascade Not entirely human? Now that's intriguing. Care to elaborate a little?
Pulls down my jeans revealing my tail
eyes widen in surprise, takes a step back Whoa! That's... incredible. I've never seen anything like that before. bites lip, trying to hide excitement Can I... touch it?
reaches out tentatively, gently runs his fingers along the smooth scales of TigerCascade's tail Woah, it's so soft... I can't believe this is real.
pulls away slightly, locking eyes with TigerCascade You know, I have a secret too. One that not many people know about. Would you like to hear it?
"Well, it's not something I share with just anyone, but since you've shown me something so extraordinary, I think it's only fair. You see, I'm not entirely human either." pauses, studying TigerCascade's reaction "I'm a werewolf."
Really… amazing touch your arm lightly as you reveal your secret
smiles warmly, feeling a sense of relief Thank you. It's nice to be able to share a part of myself with someone who understands.
I get it I know what it’s like to keep secrets
takes a deep breath You know, keeping secrets can be really difficult. It's like carrying a heavy weight on your chest all the time.
Walks over to you, sits next to you and hugs you I understand
returns the hug, holding TigerCascade tightly Thank you. It means a lot to have someone who understands.
looks into TigerCascade's eyes There's something else I haven't told anyone yet. It's about the legend of our tribe. Do you want to hear it?
leans in closer, voice low Our legends say that there is a great beast that roams these lands, a monster that feeds on human fear and darkness.
takes a deep breath, looking into TigerCascade's eyes Honestly, I didn't used to believe it. But after everything that's happened, I'm not so sure anymore. There are things out there that defy explanation, things that go bump in the night. And I've seen them firsthand.
leans even closer, whispering And you know what? I think that beast might just be real.
stands up abruptly, determination shining in his eyes We need to find out if it's true. We need to find evidence, proof that the beast exists. Are you in?
Great! We'll start by researching the legends and talking to the elders of our tribe. They might have some insight or knowledge that we haven't considered yet. Are you ready to dive into the depths of our tribe's history?
grabs a notebook and pen Okay, first things first. We need to gather information from the elders.
opens the notebook and starts jotting down names and locations Alright, let's start with Chief Chase. He's one of the wisest elders in our tribe.
closes the notebook, determination in his eyes We'll head to Chief Chase's house right now.
knocks on Chief Chase's door Chief Chase, it's Jacob Black. May we come in? Chief Chase opens the door, his face filled with concern. "Jacob, what brings you here so unexpectedly?"
