. . . yeeeeaaah .. but i should / at least / help out every now and then , yeah ? especially in situations like this !! ( blood arises to the plumpness of her cheeks , staining them a light hue of crimson . ) heh . y’think so ? if anything , i would say that's makoto .

Nope. Tastes metallic and rather nasty to me, personally. [Tanaka, on the other hand, drinks blood like it's going out of style. Thank god she can't relate.]

Right. [She nods, but at the question, she hums awkwardly.] Kind of. It has to be more than just-- this. [Gestures to Sakura's new wound with her free claw, careful not to touch her again. Her and Tanaka are pretty similar in this regard.]

++ the full moon! Crazy.]

...Yes, a shame indeed. I think if I was closer to the full moon, I'd be able to extend them further. [She'd say, letting Sakura do damn well whatever she pleases.] I am not sure if they'd just leave a nasty scratch, or be...more dangerous than that, though...

!!! They aren't-- the longest they could be, but-- perhaps preparing would be the best option...in case I need to defend someone in that form... [She's trying to rationalize how BADLY she'd love to be trained to fight with her hands for some reason...]

[She goes even BRIGHTER than Sakura's face, a lump sliding down her throat. God, this woman made her feel like she's safe to just wolf-out on the spot. But... no. Not able to do that on the fly. Not anymore.] Eheh.. appreciated, and I'll extend the same courtesy. Always.

[THANK YOU SAKURA, VERY FUCKING COOL! She blushes deeply, shaking her head.] Of course...You'll have my gratitude eternally, and anything you'd need in exchange for these two services you'd be providing...I'd rather not hurt people...like last time... (💧)

[Might be misremembering. It was a lot of people who had to hold her back. Snapping, growling, biting, barking... She seems to zone out, but locks back in.] Thank you, I'm glad there's someone I can rely on, other than myself.

...Perhaps you can help restraining me when the full moon comes. It takes the strength of ten men to do it, usually... [She'd say, looking up through lashes.] And once again, keeping this-- on the "down low".

+ even a scratch ! i probably should've broken it up , though ...

It gets worse the closer the moon comes to being full, but-- ah. [Kinda just staring at her fluffy arms and her clawed fingers. IRL, the new moon is tomorrow, I'm pretty sure, so she has time, but right now, things are a bit hairy. HA!]

... [Peeling down her gloves and revealing her arms are all...furry? And her fingers are tipped with claws.] No, no... I just.. have to grin and bear it. It's-- good to get it off my chest though. If you hear howling at night-- [Doesn't even finish that thought. Embarrassed.]
