The fact that her heart was still racing to the beat of that music made things easier. They said that music soothes the savage beast, but they never actually quoted that right. After all, the beat of a drum could send a man marching off to war. Nanook hoped that in this case the pounding rhythms would drive her to embrace the violence that an altered form would have come with it.<br/><br/>By this point, if Marissa didn't resist him, he would have continued to toy with her hair and left his own alone. It was painfully obvious, if she choose to believe that they were indeed talking about werewolves, that he was imagining what she was going to be like when she unleashed her untamed inner self.<br/><br/>Then again, she had just asked him what it was that they were talking about, and he figured that it was probably best for him to spell it out. She had also asked him what would have happened when that curse touched her heart, and he would have been happy to answer that question too.<br/><br/>"We are talking about the curse of the werewolf, and when said curse reaches your heart you'll be filled with the rage and fury of a thousand predators." Nanook's words were sickly seductive, and perhaps at this point she would have been intoxicated with the venom that came spewing forth with everything that he had said. "You are you, and she is a different person, but they live in one body. I can smell that, and this body is your property. Everyone has the right to defend what belongs to them."<br/><br/>With a bit of a sneer that probably carried with it more saliva than it should have, though his mask to some extent hid this crazed look, Nanook seemed to scoff at the idea that the other individual could have been the right one to inhabit her body. Still, he felt that it would have been best to assuage any fear that she might have had. If nothing else, then he figured that every little bit of talking helped to continue to drive her closer and closer to agreeing.<br/><br/>"If she is the right you, then there is still nothing stopping you from killing her and taking that from her. The strong survive, since life is never fair especially for those who are weak."<br/><br/>It was a radical way of saying that she needed to stand up for herself. Maybe, though, Nanook was right in some ways. He certainly was giving her a way out of her current situation.
