ᴜsᴇʀɴᴀᴍᴇ: ʜᴜɴᴛsᴍᴀɴ (VIDEO)

( graham doesn't like using the video feature much, so mostly he avoids it. people might recognize his username, though, he hasn't been silent on the network that connects members of ALISTAIR. in fact now that he's a fugitive he has a bit too much time to flip through messages, though that's neither here nor there.

still, the fact he's using it means he does so with a purpose. after Sakura encountered him in the woods, he doesn't see a better way to get his message to everyone that needs to hear it. hopefully the townsfolk themselves will just stay away, and his brother is clever enough to stay clear of people that might hurt him. he's smart and wary of humans, it doesn't seem impossible he'll manage on it's own. it just feels dangerous to leave him out on his own without trying to assure people the wolf is not a threat. )

A friend of mine came from home. I hear that happens on occasion.

( Graham tilts his pendant enough to capture the wolf in the feed, just long enough for the details to be picked up. a vibrant red eye, white and gray fur. a little too friendly with a human, one could argue, as the wolf is looking up at him with an open-mouth grin, much like a dog. )

He's not a threat to humans. He'll more than likely run if you get too close to him, but all the same. If you see him, don't hurt him. He won't hurt you unless you threaten him.

( the wolf still has instincts enough that he will fight if he feels he has to for survival. being so close to a human has tempered many of his wilder instincts, yet the wolf is still and will always be a wolf. )

If you hurt him despite this message I promise you'll regret it.

( there's a steel edge to that threat that is very sincere. Graham was a better man than the Hunstman ever claimed to boast, and the wolf is about all the family he's ever had. if someone is bold enough to try and harm him (or worse), they'll have a dedicated hunter after them, and a ruthless one at that.

with that the video feed closes. if there are questions, they'll likely be answered via text. )

( it is just as hard for someone that has known the wolf his entire life, so she shouldn't feel bad. )

I don't suppose he thinks he needs a name. I just think it'd be good for him to have one. Don't worry, I'll think of something.

[ She's quiet, just in case she gets some last minute inspiration. She doesn't, of course, but at least he doesn't seem terribly offended. Maybe this is better than suggesting a name he doesn't like. ]

It'll probably be easier for me once I've met him in person. [ A pause. ] . . . Not that I know what the chances of those are.

[dishearten]

Suppose that depends on what the odds of you meeting me are.

( the wolf isn't afraid of meeting a stranger as long as they're together, at least most of the time. )

[ Max tilts her head as she considers this; then nods politely. ]

Well, if I happen to see you, I'll be sure to say hi. [ Though she might spot the wolf first, depending. ] You take care of him until then . . . Mr. "Huntsman."

[ How ironic, that handle. She definitely likes Graham better. ]

[dishearten]

I will. And I hope I'll see you around.

( he does mean that, as genuinely as he's able. )

wrap here too c:

[mightymax]

Same here.

[ It's totally a dork move to wave at the camera, but she will anyway. After lingering for a bit longer, she says her goodbye, and soon after ends the video feed--which is a lot weirder, without a simple button to push.

She manages, though. In a passing thought, she wonders what Frank would call Graham's brother, but ultimately decides not to push the issue.

After all, they both have other things to worry about, here in Chantes . . . ]
