[Alex's brows rise slightly when Derek explains the difference between his shifting and Alex's own.]
Yeah, we can change anytime we want, but on the full moon we change whether we'd like to or not. Hell if I could explain the mechanics of it at all, but it's happened here the same as it ever did back home.
Ed and the wolves would run out in the mountains and I'd usually head out in the opposite direction until the next day. We can't control our animals on the full moon, so even if we know each other we're at risk. No memory of the shift or anything, so we'd keep our distance until we shifted back the next day. Any other time we'd shift and run together .. [He grins a bit at the memory and then he smiles at Derek.]
Sounds like your dad is a pretty cool guy, then.
[Then he tilts his head slightly at the last before nodding.]
They know, yeah .. but it's a pretty recent deal; supernaturals announced themselves worldwide this past February. [His expression is rather wry as he smirks.] You can imagine how well that went over, right? Lots of folks have taken it in stride, but there's always bigotry in one shape or another, so not everyone is cool with it. It's .. a work in progress.
[One that could take a terrible turn if the registration act was approved.]
