Even if what Nanook had been saying so far sounded completely insane, it was at least true. Truth didn't necessarily preclude insanity, but he certainly wasn't hallucinating or anything such as that. He actually was what he had insinuated that he was the entire time. Nanook was indeed a werewolf for sure. Thinking of those stories of people mauled by wild animals would have perhaps given her another clue into his psyche as well. Each of the people in question was wanted for some heinous crime.<br/><br/>Like she had thought, if he had transformed Marissa successfully, then he would have stood by her. Indeed, he might very well have come to seek her for his mate. At his point he had already grown to consider her in this manner. The way in which he had been toying with her hair would very well have been a sign that he was fantasizing about what she would have ultimately looked and smelled like once she had become like him.<br/><br/>Most importantly, she would be free of her affliction, though it would have come at the obvious cost of an entirely new curse. Nanook looked at this infection as the greatest gift that he had ever received. Long ago, he had allowed himself to be torn up under the light of the full moon and reveled in the curse reaching his heart and mixing with his blood.<br/><br/>"What do you mean be with you? I'll be the one chewing your pitiful human flesh." Nanook sneered underneath his mask, though it wasn't obvious because of that aforementioned piece of cloth. Thinking for a moment in a way to answer her next question, he nodded knowingly and offered her a bit of a sage response. "Instinct will take over so many things, but there will be even more you will have to be taught."<br/><br/>Eventually Marissa would have looked toward him and noticed that he was completely gone. Where he had gone was anyone's guess, but he had seemingly vanished straight into the night. What she had to do next, though, would have been obvious. She had needed to stand outside on the night of the full moon. He wouldn't have had any problem smelling for her at all. No one else seemed to have quite the same odor that she had, and it would surely have stuck out to him like a very sore thumb. Marissa, though, could very well have transformed into her other state in the meantime. That would have complicated Nanook's plan.
