They have escalated to assaults, actually. A shame, that. I would have worried about such a thing beforehand myself, before I became bonded.

[ not that it matters right now, since his bondybuddy is out on that dumb ship... akutagawa can practically feel the tenuousness of their feelings. it's unsettling to say the least, but he quickly puts that aside in favor of trying to bamboozle this guy into buying something. ]

The added strength was reassuring. It certainly took the edge off dealing with these damned transformations, in my case at least.

[ akutagawa is convinced he's turning into a dire wolf and not just a mangy dog... unfortunately for his partner, becoming a vampire is much more disruptive and painful. sucks for him!! ]
