Oni looked at her as she breathed in, and then pulled something out of a side pouch on her utility belt and tossed it to her. Inside was a flint, another pipe, and more of the fragrant tobacco leaves. "Figured your nose was a little sensitive but if you enjoy smoking, have at it. I lose a pipe almost every month so I got plenty of 'em."<br/><br/>As she spoke of getting her 'jollies', Oni rubbed the back of her head. "Well... I haven't in a while... definitely don't-" She cut off as the woman continued. Her eyebrows went up. "I... wow. Really? I didn't think alternative sexualities existed in the supernatural. Well, I really didn't think about it." The mechanic seemed a little taken aback by that declaration.<br/><br/>Clearing her throat, she continued. "Well, if it's any consolation, it's not just you on the chopping block. The vampire covens have been really busy lately." Was she supposed to be telling a 'prisoner' this? Hell, it affected them too."There's one rising up in London using the homeless and castoffs and insane people for soldiers. S' why the trucks have been light lately going to the prison and asylum. We're strong but there's only so many of us."<br/><br/>She turned and pulled something down from the padded wall. It was... a cot on chains attached above the workbench? Of course the grease monkey slept in her workshop. Hopping up onto the edge, she sat with her feet dangling and looked at the woman.<br/><br/>"Here's how I see it. You don't have a pack anymore. Now, I never had a family but more and more I think they may have been nice things. So... I'm sorry about that." She pulled on the pipe. "You're down a limb, and even if you accept the one we're making for you, what happens if you try to find a new pack? 'Oh, look at you, accepting a crutch humans made for you, piss off'?"<br/><br/>She shrugged. "And aside from all of THAT, world's getting smaller. If it's not a wolf pack or a hunter, it's gonna be a vampire kin, or a lich, or something else that wants to suck the life out of everyone on this rock. Us, on the other hand..."<br/><br/>She leaned back against the wall. "Gig's not really that bad. Get a bed. Food. Get to hunt as much non wolf stuff as your heart could desire. Be around people who think your new arm is an asset rather than a shameful liability." Why was she talking like she knew pack mentality? Had she been in one before?<br/><br/>"But like I said, Brianna and the rest of the upper leadership don't listen to a thing I say so trust me, never gonna happen." Oni kicked her feet back and forth in the air.
