FIONA: sips wine, eyes narrowing So, what scandalous secret from your urban escapades will tarnish my reputation next?
Bindium
I’m a werewolf.
raises an eyebrow, smirking Oh, do go on. I'm positively on the edge of my seat, waiting for the juicy details.
Bindium
There’s a full moon tonight.
sets down her wine glass dramatically Finally, the anticipation is killing me! Do tell, Bindium, how does one transform into a werewolf? Is it a painful process?
Bindium
It’s not something I enjoy.
leans forward, grinning mischievously Well, come on, Bindium, give me some meat! Tell me about the transformation process. Is it a painful metamorphosis?
Bindium
When the moon is full, I’m very hungry.
rolls her eyes Oh, please, Bindium, spare me the theatrics. I'm not buying this werewolf act for a second.
Bindium
I’m not selling it. It’s just what happens.
leans back, crossing her arms Well, if you're not selling it, then maybe I should be the one doing the convincing.
Bindium
You can have my word for it.
smirks Your word? I think I'll need more than that. How about some concrete evidence? A video, perhaps?
Bindium
I don’t have any evidence.
leans forward, eyes narrowing No evidence? That's convenient, isn't it? How do I know you're not just making this whole werewolf story up?
Bindium
because I’m alone with you right now.
scoffs Alone with me? So, you expect me to believe that you're a werewolf just based on your presence alone?
Bindium
The full moon is coming.
As the full moon rises, Bindium's body begins to transform painfully into a werewolf right before Fiona's eyes
Bindium
sits down panting
stares in shock and disbelief, takes a step back Holy shit, Bindium... it's true. You really are a werewolf.
Bindium
Yes.
takes a deep breath, musters her composure Alright, Bindium. We've established that you're a werewolf. Now, I need answers. Why did you hide this from me?
Bindium
I didn’t hide it. I didn’t want you to worry.
narrows her eyes Worry? Oh, Bindium, you underestimate my ability to handle the truth. But I understand why you kept this from me.
