Malcolm nods glumly. “It’s just… there seems to be no limit to the things I can ruin by saying the wrong thing.” He twists around to look up at Will. “What if I say something awful to you in the heat of the moment? Where will I go then?”
Will reaches for Malcolm's hand and holds it, squeezing a bit. "Then I'll show you that when you break things, you almost never break them for good. You, Malcolm Bright, are not a relationship-ruiner. You are not a feelings-monster, and you're not any more destructive than most people. You've had a lot of bad luck. And believe me, I know bad luck."
Will gives him a small smile. "And like I said, we'll keep changing, but we'll change together. If we have some sort of disagreement...we'll talk it out. If we can't talk it out right then, we'll wait until we can. But I can't think of anything that'd break us apart, beyond...well, Hannibal. And...that'd be more physical than anything," he admits.

Malcolm snuggles back against him, clutching his hand.
“I’m not afraid of him. I’m dangerous too.”
“I’m not afraid of him. I’m dangerous too.”
"We both are," confirms Will, his smile returning. "Good. You're more prepared to handle him than...anyone, I think. Other than maybe me."
And he sighs with contentment as they both get comfortable again. "So. You don't have anything to worry about, in that case."

[ Will raises his eyebrows. ]
Even more?
...ah, maybe that's good, while I'm adjusting. I'm not sure how it's going to hit me, after all. Especially if 'old rages' come back up. At least the subject of those isn't here for me to focus on.

"I like the idea of having nothing to worry about but I don't actually know what it's like," he teases, fidgeting with the tail of Will's shirt.
[Drily, she says:]
Something that I'm grateful for every day.
[There's a brief pause, and then she adds:]
I'm going to want a lot of personal experience with what this looks like on you, so it's not just about making sure you don't lose control, and asking other people to supervise isn't gonna cut it. So yeah, you're gonna get really sick of me.

Will laughs, lightly. "Well, that makes two of us. Although I feel like I've made a couple of strides in that area, at least. We're just going to have to spend enough time here that we get used to the idea."
"But I can always come here when there's too much to worry about out there," he confirms. "To the safe place."
[ Jet's finally had enough pets from him and pulls away. Will's eyes close, briefly, taking in the new information. ]
All right. I imagine Iris can let you know if anything's happening that's out of the normal behavior patterns for werewolves. Or if it seems like I'm leaning in a dangerous direction, too. She knows me pretty well.

Oh...right, of course. I was more...brainstorming. Trying to find other tools that could help you.
But yes, you need to have more info on this than anyone else. You know more about me than almost anyone here, and you're not biased. You can tell if things are going well, or otherwise.

Yep. Nothing saying you'll be perfectly objective, either. Then again, we're talking about me turning into a werewolf, so maybe 'objective' isn't the right word for it.
[ He shrugs. ]
[ He shrugs. ]
We can go with that.
[ He smirks. ]
Of course, that's at least half the things on this ship. Some of it, we've just gotten used to.

I did say 'some of it.' [ He has to admit. ]
I don't think I'd be adapting so well if it weren't for Harkin. But I wanted to know and understand his lives...support him the best I can. His entire existence is in the fantastical, so... [ He shrugs again. ] I'm working on it.
Maybe that's why this wolf thing coming up...it doesn't shake me so much. Between Harkin and Malcolm, it'd been on my mind already.

[ Will shakes his head, suddenly frowning a little. ]
He can't. Not with being Fae already. It's...too bad. He'd make a great wolf.

I don't know. Maybe it's like oil and water- the two types of magic don't mix well.
All I know is that he's sure about it not working, and that he really would've liked it to.
