Watch out for the new cat warden around your dogs and the kennel dogs. I didn't catch her name, she was too busy yelling at me, calling me a bad dog, telling me to go away, and swiping at my ear, for the mere crime of existing in public on four paws.

I didn't so much as growl a warning until she laid a paw on me.

Well, shit. Thanks for the heads up, I'll keep an eye out when I'm walking them, and keep her out of the kennel if she looks like she wants to come in.

You okay?

Yeah, fine. I was, admittedly, in a horrible mood, so after ignoring and then growling at her had no effect, I transformed and stood naked in the middle of the deck yelling back. Not my finest moment, but at least it wasn't violent.

I'm just concerned about her pulling this shit on inmates or pets. I don't know if we have many dog or wolf-ish inmates right now? Red's got his wolfhound shape, of course.

If any of the inmates is going to be able to hold his own against a cat, warden or not, that guy is one of them. I wouldn't worry too much about him, though a heads up might not go wrong.

No, I think most of the wolves these days are all wardens, unless I missed somebody else getting bit, and honestly I think all or most of the people who have pet dogs are wardens, too... I'll check around, though, to make sure.

As long as she doesn't have special powers. I do plan on giving him a heads up, he's my next call.

Still five of us. No inmates since Will graduated. I just don't know if we've got other shapeshifters on board who favor canine shapes.

Thanks, B.

Not that I'm aware of.

[He's never seen Ashton do wolf form. Or cat form, for that matter, he hasn't had much interaction with them.]

Maybe one of us can give John a heads up, so he can keep an eye out for new inmates who're kind of canine?

I see John pretty often, I can mention it.

Looks like you're playing messenger all the way, then.

[He sounds both amused and grateful, though. Though then he asks:]

You sure everything's okay?

[Because hanging out in wolf form and growling at people doesn't really seem like Magdalena-doing-well. Neither does devolving into yelling.]

My brother, the first one I found here, vanished back to his death this week, so no. I'm devastated and so goddamn angry.

[B sighs a bit on his end.]

Yeah. I'm sorry. I know that sucks a lot.

Would some cocoa and a hug help any?

[That's the best he can offer, and he knows he's probably not her first choice for comfort, but it's not in him to not offer.]

[Maggie pauses a second to consider, then...]

Okay. I'm bad at vulnerability, but far be it from me to turn down chocolate or hugs.

I'll come on by. Gimme ten to get the cocoa made. You in your cabin?

Yeah, 203. Thanks, B.

[He does show up in about ten minute, with a thermos and two mugs: one has a silhouette of a cow with "holy" written on it, and the other reading "seven days without a pun makes one weak". He raps lightly on her door with metal fingers, making a distinctive sound that proves it's him and not someone else.]
