"I'm inclined to believe the reason for that is becuase you've been wounded by some of that brutality you mentioned in your past. I won't pry, but I suppose from what you said I can't be too far off the mark." Terado placed his hands on his knees while his legs remained crossed, leaning forward to listen to Alice speak while she played with her hair. He smiled a bit, "See, werewolves aren't that different from humans. They fight with each other to establish dominance, maybe not always with claws or fists, but in more subliminal ways. They stay together because they know as a unit they are strong and in regards to that mentality, often some people and wolves, don't mind being lead. It saves them a lot of trouble."

Terado's eyes then glistened, as if he was seeing past Alice and inside of her, "In your case, I suppose you'd be a lone wolf. And to that I say a lone wolf is either a survivor, or a brute." Terado leaned back, "So which are you?"

"Which indeed?" Alice cooed, her voice low, the sparkle disappearing from her eyes. All business. Stone.

For a long time she said nothing, just continued to run her pen across the page, writing and writing. These notes would be re-written on her computer and burned when she was through. No one would ever have the possibility of stumbling upon them. Then finally, she spoke up. "Which would you say? You've known me for, what? Minutes? Half an hour at most?" She clicked her pen closed and lifted her eyes to him, smiling softly.

"Do I flee or do I destroy."

A wind blew threw the area just then, making both their hair billow outwards. Both sets of long raven and sable manes of hair. Terado leaned a little closer to her, his smile fading and getting a little serious, but not in a dangerous way. "I'd have to say brute. You stick to your guns and go after what you want, even if it is just research."

Terado's eyes seemed to become feral without him knowing it at he looked down at Alice, "I feel there's a beast inside you that could match mine." Alice wouldn't understand the depth of that statement with the information he'd given her, and this was only speculation of course. "Of course I have no way of knowing for sure. Even the mightiest of animals put on a bluff before backing away if a predator calls it."

"I wish I could tell you you were wrong..." For a moment she kept eyecontact with him, smiling... and then Alice's smile seemed to quiver and fall and she looked at her lap. "I don't remember much of anything of my life, actually..." She gripped at her hair again, tears welling in her eyes, "I have some kind of amnesia, I suppose... I'm not really entirely sure what happened to me but..."

Her shoulders rocked with a sigh. "I suppose that I'm acting as I was before this gap in my memory, right? Someone's personality can't entirely reset..." Weakly, Alice looked back up at the man. "I'd say it's just a front. I'd say I'm truly weak inside..."

For a moment or two, Alice wasn't entirely sure if she were lying or telling the truth.

Terado's eyes didn't waver, but he did sit back and they did returned to normal. Amnesia? She'd never mentioned that before. And she really did seem like she wasn't lying about that. Still, Terado would keep an eye on her for future reference. Then, it dawned on him, "You know, we've been speaking about all this and I don't think we've actually introduced ourselves to each other."

Terado extended his hand, "My name is Terado. School Janitor."

"O-Oh!" Alice sat up and leaned back a little, rubbing her arm across her eyes before leaning forward again and grasping the man's larger hand. "My name is Alice, it's very nice to meet you." Smiling softly, the girl shook the man's hand. Limply, gently. It was almost as if she were afraid to be touching him.

Alice tilted her head a little, nibbling at her lip. "I've been trying to resist, but I can't anymore.." She made a small motion toward his head. "Can I...Touch your ears?"

Terado had long since forgotten his real name, but seeing as this wasn't the world he grew up in, with no Marauder Organisation or Totem Spirits to worry about, he wasn't too worried about giving his name out so freely, or sharing information for that matter, well some of it anyways. "It's a pleasure to meet you Alice." he said, shaking her hand carefully. Not because he was wary of her, but because he was just trying not to accidentally hurt her.

When she asked whether or not she could touch his ears, Terado smirked and made his transformed ears wiggle a little bit, "Sure. I don't see why not." He leaned his head down towards Alice, his cascade of black ponytail falling past his shoulders and onto the ground.

She smiled softly to him and reached out, first just gingerly touching his ears... then gently scratching behind them. Her head cocked a little bit as she petted and stroked his hair and murmured softly, "I really like dogs. They're the only animals I enjoy, actually... Dogs will kill and die for their masters. They form pack mentalities and once you are established as Alpha, there's nothing they won't do for you." She trailed off for a moment then pulled her hand away, not wanting to push him too far.

"Having none of the humanity of you or I, there is no backstabbing. No games. Just devotion."

Although Terado's facial expression didn't change. Although his ears did wiggle and twitch slightly at being scratched. He listend to her speak. What Alice spoke was very true, of course, Terado had only ever been in a pack when the Sentinal clan was still alive and even then he was one with a little more pull than others due to his grandfather being chief of the clan. However, ever since then, he'd been his own Alpha Male, both survivor and brute. He'd purposely chosen to go without a pack for years on end.

When she finished scratching his ears, he looked at her a moment. He wasn't about to bestow her with his powers, he doubted he'd ever do that to anyone. However she did make a good point. With wolves there were no games and backstabbings. And then he began to realise something. This was not Nova OASIS. He'd taken the job as a janitor so that he could be closer to people. He could vanish easily enough if he had to. He looked at her a moment longer and then spoke.

"I'm going to give you three guesses for one of my deepest secrets. Ask now and think carefully about them."

Alice's hands fell into her lap and she stared down for a while, her eyes becoming hollow again. Maybe this wasn't such a good idea. Maybe she was letting too much writhe inside of her, she was feeling too much.

Terado's words made her cock her head and frown a bit at him. "Let me guess your darkest secret? Why...?" Her eyebrows knit, but she couldn't keep the scientist inside her from frothing. "Is it your clan? You ignored me when I asked you exactly what you were...." She wasn't sure what else to ask, what else could be a secret?

Terado sat back, placing his hands on his knees for a moment before fixing his ponytail, "It's related to my clan, yes. But that's not it. Let me give you a hint, how many werewolf clans do you know off the top of your head that still exist today?" Truth be told as far as Terado knew, there were very few of them and even those were small and had resigned themselves to living out in the country away from people due to their uncontrollable ferality.

There was that look again, that same look in her eyes he'd sensed before. There was more to this woman. He just didn't know what. He couldn't go off things like sight, sound and smell, there was no change in that regard. This was compariable to....a tortoise. He'd only seen the head, but he didn't know what was under it's shell.

"None, actually..." She murmured with furrowed brows. Her head cocked to one side and she fell silent, calculating... thinking... If she couldn't think of any werewolves, but he spoke as if at some time they were more prominent...

"How old are you, Terado?" Alice's head cocked to the other side and she squinted. She could feel her heart pulsing faster. Could he be hundreds of years old? Thousands? Could he be like those bastard vampires but with real breathing, pulsing flesh?

Terado looked at her. She was thinking now, starting to realize the possible magnitude of it all. His face remained impartial, but he couldn't help but wonder, how would she react? How would she behave after all this when the truth came out? Then she asked how old he was and he didn't mind answering, surprisingly enough, "I can't give exact dates, but I can say although I appear to only be in my twenties, I suppose I'm technically just over 5000 years old."

And there it was, the truth of the matter. He awaited her reponse, wondering what kind of question feeding her that titbit of information would bring about.

She almost salivated. Perfect, the perfect specimen. He had lived for thousands of years and looked barely a day over twenty five. Perfect, perfect, so perfect.

Alice's eyes filled with awe and she leaned forward, her jaw uncerimoniously dropping almost the whole way to the floor. "I-I don't even know where to start... I don't know what to say I..." she stuttered and finally managed to close her mouth, biting her lip hard as she did.

"Tell me what it was like five-thousand years ago. Tell me what you remember. Tell me anything, tell me everything!" She smiled and scooted a little closer to him on her knees, her's mere inches from him by the time she was done. Fascinating...

That was a bit more than the reaction Terado was expecting. She seemed almost like she wanted to use him as some kind of portal to revisit his past lives. He couldn't remember exactly each thing, but he could remember most of it. See it was true what they say, the older you got, the more you remembered what happened in the past. He decided to just start with the times that were present 5000 years ago.

"Well, I wasn't present for a lot of the discoveries man-kind was making. Our duty, or my clan's duty, was to ensure that other magical beings present at the time did not disturb the peace of the world. Of course, this was not always true, as stories persisted today of various demons and witches and such." Terado looked up at the sky for a moment collecting his thoughts, "As far as I can remember, metal-smithing was just starting to undergo new changes due to the humans learning about copper. My family was close to, Mesopotamia I believe it was, or was it Babylon? I cannot be entirely sure. I just remember seeing a great army march through the lands one day like ants across the ground. I believe his name was Alexander the Great. I had to kill one of his generals due to the fact that he was an Imp in human form, funnily enough not long after that his empire crumbled...."

He stopped, looking at Alice, "Sorry I'm rambling, it's just a whole bunch of things coming to me all at once. Maybe, it would be easier if we start with my family?"
