[Thankfully Robyn is able to slip through the gates quickly enough that the guards can't catch her. The only thing on her mind is heading towards the woods; if she stays in the town long enough for anyone to notice her, she knows she'll be killed if she isn't captured first.

As she runs through the woods, new sights and smells invade her senses; unfortunately, she can't appreciate any of it, since she's still unused to her new form to the point that she trips and falls. For a moment, she's disoriented...but then she spots a familiar shape, someone who may in fact be responsible for what she's become.
]

Mebh! [Robyn chases after the other wolf, following the new scent through a wall of vines to a cave behind a waterfall. She collides with the other wolf, and they fall into the darkness of the cave behind them.

The memory ends there, but Mob may hear a voice now--one that sounds as though it belongs to whoever this memory focused on.
] Er...hello? Are you alright?

...they're both me. [That should probably be enough of an answer.]

That was the first time I left me body while asleep. It was...

[Strange, and more than a little bit frightening at the time. But she's since gotten used to it.]

How were you able to see that, anyway?

I suppose. [Robyn has never actually heard the term "astral projecting" before and doesn't know what it means, so she'll just go with that.] I'm a Wolfwalker, so I'm a wolf when I sleep.

[She's still getting used to being more open about what she is to other people here, but since Mob saw her memory of the first night she left her body behind, she doesn't have much choice but to tell him.]

I haven't been here very long, either, but that's what everybody's told me, too. I didn't know you could see other people's memories, though.

Oh, well...I suppose I'm alright. Me friend's mother is as big as an ox when she's a wolf. [Moll is big enough to ride on, even, which Robyn has experienced firsthand.]

Most people are afraid of wolves where I'm from. If you're a wolf in a town, you're as good as dead. But it wasn't so bad once Mebh helped me get used to it.

[personal profile] wolfhunted 2022-12-21 12:57 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, that was Mebh. She's been one for longer than I have. [And Robyn only became one at all because Mebh bit her by accident.]

They don't, do they? I kept tryin' to tell Father that we could let the wolves leave without havin' to kill them, but he wouldn't listen. A lot of adults are like that.

She was. She showed me a lot.

[There's a lot to being a wolf that Robyn has mostly gotten used to by now, though it's thanks to Mebh that she was able to learn how to do it at all.]

...he did tell me he was afraid. [It was during a rather tense moment between them, but it was still surprising for her to hear that her father really was afraid of losing her. Too bad his way of dealing with it only made her feel trapped and miserable.]

But even if you are afraid, you can't just stand by and let things happen.

He just wanted to keep me safe. I know he did. But soon he wouldn't let me do anythin' because he was afraid I wouldn't be safe, and, well...it made me feel trapped.

[Thankfully her father learned just how stifling his behavior had been, but it was still a long time coming.]

If we both just kept doin' what we were told because we were too scared to do anythin' else, neither of us would be happy.
wolfhunted: ([human] 73)

[personal profile] wolfhunted 2022-12-27 04:47 am (UTC)(link)
We did, for a little while. But a lot was happenin' all at once, and...

[It wasn't until tensions were at their highest when they both realized what they needed to do to make things right.]

Well, things did turn out alright in the end. But it was hard. [Especially with a whole army out for your blood.]

Did you talk to your brother about that?
wolfhunted: ([human] 66)

[personal profile] wolfhunted 2022-12-31 09:36 pm (UTC)(link)
I wish it could have been easier, but at least we were both able to make things right.

[And ultimately, she and her father were both able to help Mebh in the end, which was what she'd promised Mebh earlier.]

...before Mother died, Father promised her he'd keep me safe. And after we had to move, he was scared of either of us bein' put in the stocks.

[Even with the threat of being arrested over their heads, though, she still couldn't live that kind of life.]

Father's a hunter, and the Lord Protector hired him to kill wolves. That's why we had to move to Ireland, because they wanted to get rid of the wolves there. I wanted to help him at first, but, well...things changed.

[Especially after she ran into Mebh and Mebh bit her by accident.]

Everybody in town was afraid of wolves. They caught Mebh's mother, and they wanted to kill her, too. Father almost did it, but I had to stop him.

They were attackin' the woodcutters and the sheep. But that's because the woods they live in were bein' cut down for more farmland.

[Farmland meant to feed the English who came over, not that Robyn really knows this.]

I wanted to help Mebh and the wolves leave the woods for somewhere safe before it was all cut down. I thought Father could help too, but he wouldn't listen.
wolfhunted: ([human] 31)

[personal profile] wolfhunted 2023-01-07 06:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Maybe. I wish they could, though.

[Robyn sometimes wonders if that's why most people don't normally see things like mermaids and fairies. After all, the Wolfwalkers turned out to be real where she's from, so who knows what other stories could be true?]

We left with them. All of us--me, Father, and Mebh and her mother. We got a wagon fixed up and went to find somewhere we could all live together.

[That's what she was doing before she ended up here in Trench, at least. And even if the future was uncertain for all of them, at least they'd have each other.]

[personal profile] wolfhunted 2023-01-10 09:26 pm (UTC)(link)
I think you're right about that. People can change.

[She wasn't sure if her father could, but he overcame his own fears in the end.]

I don't think things would go well for us if we stayed. I didn't much like livin' there, anyway. [After all, the townsfolk were still afraid of wolves.]
