Hunting 101, Thursday
"So, I'm hoping you guys took a look at the moon on Sunday, since it wasn't your typical full moon," Sam said, once everyone was settled. "I figured, with that in mind, this would be a good week to talk about shapeshifters, namely werewolves."
"Most of you probably already know the basics about werewolves since a lot of the stereotypical portrayals of them are true. 99% of the time, werewolves are normal people like everyone else, but during the full moon, they turn into... well, it depends on where they're from. Some werewolves I've met can control their transformations, and just have a more difficult time of maintaining that control during the full moon. Others don't have any control over it - as soon as the moon is out, so is their furry side, and you don't want to be nearby when it happens. The key thing to remember is that in general, people become werewolves by being bitten by one, and they don't typically ask for it to happen."
At least he was forgiving about people sometimes being monsters?
"If you come across a werewolf and you have to get away, a silver blade is your best bet. You can try to outrun them, but most of them are pretty fast in wolf form, and a hell of a lot stronger. A quick stab to the heart could save your life, and prevent someone from doing something monsterous that they don't want to do." Of course, they'd be dead after the stabbing but shhh, details.
"For today's discussion, I want you to think about something that I hope none of you will ever have to deal with: what would you do if your friend, or someone in your family, got bitten by a werewolf? Would you protect them? Would you try to help them deal with the symptoms? Or would you try to find out who did it? Some lore says that if the person who turned a werewolf is killed, then the new werewolf will be cured. Do you think you could handle doing that?"

Re: Talk to Sam [10/01]
Sorry, Sam. Had she said sorry yet? She should probably say it a few more times just to be safe.
"Uhh, what were you going to say the class is about? It's, umm, probably something we should be on the same page about."

He wasn't going to ask what would happen when graduation rolled around.
Re: Talk to Sam [10/01]
"Thanks," she said, giving him a grateful smile. "I really, super appreciate this, you don't even know. And I promise, I'll pay you back by being the best student I can, really."
