"Average domestic dog: 320 pounds." Pauses. "1500." Pauses again. "Because a werewolf is part human and part dog, it'd be the combination of the two squared, so....: 1600 squared. That's the average for a werewolf in documented and hollywood guesstimates." Crosses arms. "Now, anything else you want to ask?"

[.xander;;]

...okay. so this guy was good. xander was sure the werewolf part would get him. well, katze could not know that. he would continue to think xander was confident in his picking-people-apart skills. or else. ...it was kind of hard, though, when xander's people-in-general skills sucked really badly.

the confident smile didn't shift on his face. relate to me the most impossible and challenging part about creating a humanlike robot.

[lynx]

"Depends on your definition on human-like. Do you mean... AI, cyborg? Or making machine-replicas of people?" Looks at the clock, and ponders for a moment. "...Well, my question is, do you want to go early?" Yes, Lynx had ADD at times.

"Oh, next meeting we're going to discuss your parents. Do think about that topic tonight." He wanted sleep, but he was doubting he would get it.

[.xander;;]

so katze didn’t know everything. he had to ask questions first. xander felt slightly accomplished and left it at that, not answering the therapist’s question. he knew to quit when he was ahead.

the lycanthrope visibly perked up at katze’s next inquiry, however. that would be great. so his expression was a bit sarcastic, but he was dead serious. … then he added, i don’t know why you expect me to be open with you.

[lynx]

"You've already been quite open thus far, even if I had to tug and pick at it for awhile..." Sits back in his chair, shifting again. "I might have to pick for the answers I need again, how unpleasent. And you MAY not realize it yourself; but you're rather open with some details you may not even think are important~" Slight smile.

"Mmm, I have part of the puzzle..." He muttered to himself, scribbling down notes. "Next session we're using the camera, doctor's orders."

[.xander;;]

xander scoffed at lynx’s words. how much more bs could he possibly be stuffed with? and more of that dreadful picking? that wasn’t going to happen. fuck katze.

you’re so full of it, xander wrote with a glare. he was not open, especially not to a therapist. then he heard the mumbles. of course he could! he was a wolf! the bit about the camera was followed swiftly with an obnoxiously large no..

[lynx]

"I never said I was the doctor that gave the orders, Xander..." He muttered softly, pulling down his sleeve to show his swollen wrist and the fingers were bruised... "My doctor told me to lay off the writing." Chuckes a bit, shoving the sleeve back down.

"Anyway, camera next session."

[.xander;;]

the werewolf eyed katze’s swollen wrist and was vaguely reminded of the wounds he had inflicted upon the therapist. well…he supposed he could let the camera slide. only because katze would probably fall over and die if he had to write anymore. though, in xander’s opinion, it would be even better if the psychiatrist left no record of the session. or any, for that matter.

don’t put it on me, was all he responded to that with.

[lynx]

Waves his hand for the other to go then. "Next session, camera! If you talked we could have just audio..." Murmurs a little before going to his desk. Opens the thing up an inch, and slides a book at Xander's feet. Stretches up, closes, and looks at the werewolf.

"I heard you like reading; I thought that might interest you." It was called 'Tales of Me'. We're not sure what's in it yet, but it was a dark and scary book. Yes, Lynx read scary stuff.

[.xander;;]

there went the pointing-out-the-obvious again. how rude.

as xander stood gratefully to leave, a book wound up at his feet. he peered down at it, hesitating, then bent over and grabbed it. he read the cover, glanced at the back, and slipped it into the inside pocket of his jacket. as much as he despised katze, and as creepy as katze’s awareness of his love for reading was, a book was a book. and any book [except twilight] was worth reading when you lived in a hole.

without further adieu, xander exited and was forced back to his room, but he didn’t mind that because he wanted to read this new book ♥!
