Slade seemed to be even more uncomfortable as she spoke, as if each word was making him more awkward. Evelyn’s goofy grin slowly disappeared until she had a slight frown; not one of disappointed or sadness, just one of confusion. She did not know how she was making the coyote ill at ease, and she wished that she knew so that she could stop doing whatever she was doing that was obviously wrong. But she did not want to go and outright ask him what was bothering him; it would just make matters worse, and Evelyn did not want to scare away Slade because... well, because of whatever she was doing. The hybrid first thought it was because of her not-so-charming first impression with the giant grin, since that did sometimes throw other people off, but then she decided it could not be that, since Slade did not seem to be all too bothered about her smile, more like something else.
After a few more moments of rolling the two bolts in her hand, she packed them back into a pocket on her bag. But then something occurred to her, and glanced down at her clawed hands. While she was on two legs, Slade was on four, and he was wearing paws instead of hands, and did not sport any human clothing, unlike her, even staring at her goggles as if it was a weapon, when it was a harmless accessory like any Luperci would know… Maybe that was it? Maybe he was not a Luperci? Evelyn had met some wolves, who did not carry the virus in a very uncomfortable situation before, and she knew those canines that did not shift did not like creatures like her, but at least this man was not as hostile as them. As it dawned on her, the more it made sense; she would not have liked to be looked down upon, especially from someone nearly four feet taller than her.
As her brain became frantic to think of a way to somehow make the situation better for Slade without saying anything to make him uncomfortable, the coyote started to answer her casual question about the pack. “S-Shawchert?” Evelyn asked in a nervous tone, but soon cleared her voice with a cough to rid of it; she need not to show her inner emotions so easily. “Who was he?” The hybrid was also curious as to why some pack members left, but her mind was busy thinking about the height situation, and also did not want to pressure Slade with too many questions.
