"Um... cause I'm naked," she said with an odd chuckle.

This comment Fenix comprehended immediately. "Oh... oh!" He said, his eyes widened in realisation and stopping in his tracks, "well... yes, that would make it awkward."
Without really thinking all too much, Fenix took off his jacket and headed over to the opposite side of the tree to where Coal was and held it out for her to take.
"How rude of me though... I'm Fenix. Fenix Clementine." He said as he held out the jacket for her to take, "and I'm not sure if this is going to sound crazy or what, but were you that other wolf just then?"

"Yes," she said taking the coat before putting it on and stepping out as she finished rearranging it to cover herself. "Thanks. And yep, I'm the wolf. Been a were for a few years. You don't have a problem with that do you?" she asked curiously. She was used to people hating her kind. It was getting really old though.

Fenix was able to better think now, and so, maintained his composure better than he did before, as well as thinking about what his answer would be.
"I don't see why I would..." He replied, eyeing her for a moment, and wondering how a person could alter herself into the creature so convincingly, having only seen a wereanimal once before, "I would have to say, more... curious, than anything."
A stern look remaining on his face, as Fenix finally released his grip on the holster on his side, feeling as if it weren't needed so much anymore.

"Curious?" she asked with a small smile. "I don't mind curious. It's actually much better then I'm used to." She stretched her arms out a little catching a glimpse of the wolf she had just killed and looked away.
"Um... what are you curious about?"

Fenix walked over to the dead wolf and stared down at it for a moment, before looking back up at Coal.
"How it works... how it happened initially... just the general facts." He answered, his face not really changing much from the somewhat stern look he had on before, "they do say that knowledge is power."
This girl was definately not a threat to him, and he decided it unwise to make himself a threat to her. She was still discovering herself and the world's reaction to what she was, he gathered, according to her comments about the reactions she receives from others. He wasn't entirely sure, however, if revealing why he was here would be all too well-received by her at this point however.

"Well, I mean, there are two different types of weres," she replied. "Mooncalled, like me and gifted." She wasn't sure if she should trust him but he did save her life. "Not that many people even bother to learn that much," she scoffed. "People think we're animals like that one there. We're not rabid. Not any more then people are."

So the wolf on the ground in front of him was once human, and became one of these "were's". Fenix pondered this a moment, and thought about the "rabid" comment Coal had just made also. He could sense a slight hesitation in the girl as she spoke to him about this, but he figured that that wouldn't be all too suprising, considering how the ordinary human would react to someone like her... how he once reacted to someone like her...
"I never thought that there would have been two types of one... race..." Fenix replied, choosing his words carefully, "so, what makes a Mooncalled were different to a Gifted were?"
Fenix was genuinly interested in this information, if for no other reason, that it might give him the edge when it came to latter... missions.

"Well, mooncalled are forced usually into it. Attacked or bitten. Gifted though are given their ability by an animal. Usually they save the animal or the animal loves them so much they give him the ability. Very different," she replied before sitting down on a fallen log. "Even our changes are different. We have to change on the full moon. Gifted don't. Gifteds can change within seconds. They also don't hurt when they change."

Some of what was said hit Fenix when he heard it, and he walked over to Coal and sat down beside her.
"So, when you, as the wolf, leapt away and minutes later you poked your head around from that tree back there, if I were to have gotten up and followed, I would have accidently caught you changing between forms?" Fenix asked, finally realising the different between him sitting down and standing up, only minutes earlier, and the possible impact the other event could have had on these events occurring right now.

"Yep," she replied. "I've never seen myself part way through the change. Probably would look kinda funny." She said thoughtfully. It was odd when she saw other people change. "A lesser person probably would have probably shot me. Why were you hunting that thing anyways?"

Fenix thought for a moment, should he really tell her why he was after the creature? He wasn't sure how she would react, her being a paranormal herself.
He decided that it would be best, at least for now, to keep it to himself, and be vague, at most, about his reason.
"It's, really, a long story..." he replied, "but if I were to have to sum it up... there was something, not quite right about it, and so, I wanted to investigate. It was only when it leapt out and attacked, both you and myself, that I decided to hunt it down instead."
He hoped that this would cover enough, and that she wouldn't want to go into it anymore.

"Ah," she replied. "Thats what I was doing as well. It smelt odd so I was tracking it down because I was curious."

"Fancy that." Fenix replied, and laughed slightly for a moment, before looking back at the corpse of the falled wolf.
"How much does it hurt, exactly?" He asked, his face and voice returning back to his stern look and sound.

"When you first go through it, it hurts more then my own attack. But now it's less... painful. It's whimper worthy but not agonizing," she replied looking out at the forest as she fondled her necklace.
