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.]

They usually just need other people around to help with that. [another valuable lesson he learned, people need people. if anything everything in robyn's story is proving that to him too.

fair though, since-] I guess if you're a wolf sometimes having more forests and open places to run around would be better too. [his expert opinion on the matter here.]

Well, runnin' as a wolf is lots of fun. [Robyn definitely learned that the first night she left her body behind and Mebh helped her get used to it.]

It's not just that, though. Before we moved, Father and I lived in a village out in the country. I've always like bein' out in the woods rather than stayin' in town all the time.

[Of course, here in Trench there aren't a whole lot of other options. And Trenchwood isn't exactly the best woodland experience.]

Is smelling things that way fun? [his vague understanding of how wolves work, he is curious.]

I only ever lived near the city, that must have been nice. [hm, trench though.] It's a shame the woods around here are so dangerous.

It was nice. Me and me friends could go and play wherever we wanted.

[Things got harder after they moved to Kilkenny and Robyn was made to stay in town and work all day...but at least she met Mebh.]

It's...different. You can smell lots of things and people more strongly. You can see their scents, too. [That makes them easier to track, at least.] I can still see them when I'm human, sometimes, but not for very long.

I think I saw a little of that in your memory, the colors. [it was cool when it wasn't disorienting, which what things in the trench aren't really?]

I guess there aren't a lot of places to run that are safe in the Trench though.

Not really, no. I go down to the beach sometimes to run, though.

[It's not quite as exhilarating as running through the woods at night, but at least there's enough space when new people aren't being washed up on the shore.]

[hmmm] Sensei Larusso says we should use the buddy system a lot here. Like making sure not to go out alone all the time?

I'm not always good at following it. [whoops] But if you wanted to go run as a wolf I'd go with you. [just an offer, he wouldn't mind going down to the beach sometimes like that. maybe trying to run too, body improvement club is a lifestyle obviously.]

Alright. I'm tellin' you now, though, I'm a pretty good runner when I'm a wolf.

[It's probably a good idea not to go out alone so much here...not that Robyn will admit that she's a bit wary of going through some areas by herself.]

Oh, er...I'm Robyn, by the way. Robyn Goodfellowe. [Even if Mob heard her father say her name when seeing her memories, she feels she should introduce herself anyway.]

It will be good practice then. [he will fall many times and definitely not keep up but honestly? probably still will be fun. maybe even more so than a normal run.] I'm trying to get better at running.

I'm Kageyama Shigeo- Shigeo is my first name. People call me Mob. [culture stuff. have a very small smile.] It's nice to meet you.

Mob? What do they call you that for? [It's certainly one of the stranger nicknames Robyn has heard.]

The characters of my name can be read that way. [also some people were just being a little mean and calling him boring but that's a whole other thing.]

Characters...?

[Yeah, nobody's really explained Japanese writing systems to Robyn yet. But that doesn't matter too much at the moment.]

Well, I suppose there are much worse names you could be called. [Even if the word "mob" brings to mind a large, angry group of people, which she's experienced firsthand.]

[ah, how to explain this.] The writing system in the country I live, sometimes things can be read in different ways. Have you heard of kanji?

[probably not!]

Er...no, I haven't. Where I'm from, people sometimes write words differently, though.

[Because in Robyn's time, dictionaries have yet to catch on and people mainly just spell words however they want.]
