Werewolf Recruitment 5

[ParanoidAndroid]

"From the river to J street and the I-80," Gwen answers Morgan with a nod. Give or take a few blocks, but really, who's counting? "I wouldn't recommend going over to the north shore. For any reason. They", she says, with a certain emphasis on the word to imply exactly who she's talking about, "are probably still sore about the last skirmish we had over the city." On this very soil, she's tempted to add. But that was part of the city's secret shame, she decided, and it would stay that way.

The large woman's eyes lock with Morgan's sunglasses, though the look in hers is calmer than might be expected. Not feral, or even challenging. Just confident. "What brings you to our town? If you don't mind me asking." She breaks eye contact momentarily to look at Matt. Something had just clicked about the way he spoke, the way he stood. There was nothing to be done about it now, though.

Matt sees that his body language has been read by Gwen and understanding that his point has been made, loosens up. Slightly. Still as cool as Steve McQueen though.

"After speaking to Eternal Sentry my pack learned about a bound Spirit, a chained prisoner, that could assist us against the Gardener. It is dangerous, not to be freed and located deep in the Spirit world. I'll be leading an mission to find it." A look of sadness touches his face.

"It's going to be a volunteer mission and might not be based on pack alliances."

"Well I don't think my current Rahu is too keen on the long journey." He shakes his head with a touch of sadness in his face. "So we could more than likely use the assistance of a Rahu looking to get active."

Matt looks at Gwen for a second and then back at Morgan. "Although things seem different than when I got to town and the more established packs seem to be recruiting these days." He remembers his stressful and frustrated first month in the city, how Jeremiah of the Sworn was one of those who had promised a tryout and never bothered to call him back or even say sorry. The Elodoth wondered if the guy even bothered informing the rest of his pack about him.

"There may even be a new pack formed because of this."

"Alright then. Don't worry about getting a hotel room, you can crash with my Sister and I. It might be a hotel room but it'll be a nicer one with fresher towels and a better free breakfast." Matt smiles and laughs, just a bit as his own joke. Humor was good way to keep his mind off the coming journey which had him starting to think he was Captain Willard. Well it fit ... following the River to deal with a powerful spirit ... that might even have taken the form of Brando.

Gwen watches the exchange between the two, a certain kinship evident. Her eyes dart from one to the other as they speak. That business was apparently easily settled. At Morgan's question, she inclines her head at the Iminir, briefly. "Nothing," she tells the woman with a small smile. The mention of a new pack doesn't go unnoticed, and she makes a mental note to ask about the Hounds later.

Next she looks into Matt's eyes, then Morgan's. "Take care of yourselves out there. Both of you," she adds as what appears to be a sincere offer goodwill. "Weird things abound right now." The tone she uses makes it sound like yes, she knows who she's talking to, and yes, she knows they already know. She'd just feel terrible not saying it.
