Daemon didn't like scaring others; it was why he hid his face when he was meeting new people, and why he hid his horrid welts beneath bandages and cloaks; he didn't want people to be afraid of him. But sometimes...sometimes they should be. Sometimes he was nothing more than a wild, feral creature, and sometimes he was dangerous. There was a reason to fear him. There hadn't been for a long time, but Lucivar still bore the scars he'd given from after the fire--and he still had the mark of the forests on him. He was not a civilized Luperci; he was a monster. And a monster he would stay, until he learned to control himself--which was still a long, long time away.
Daemon could, at the very least, see when someone was a threat--and when they weren't. As the wolf curled himself into a submissive position--and Daemon didn't even think to believe it was done willingly, with the way he'd attacked without provocation before--Daemon's tense shoulders relaxed, and his own snarl faded, his eyes brightening until he looked on the other with an almost pup-like curiosity. He'd never seen a wolf not in their Optime form--it was strange to look upon one now. He automatically assumed that they were in Lupus because they couldn't shift, and it was perhaps the only conclusion he'd drawn correctly in his time here. He sank, slowly, to the floor, his rump hitting the sumptuous carpet and his legs stretching out in front of him as he watched the wolf with a wary eye. But his roar seemed to have done the trick; it didn't look as though he would attack again.
That left him to look curiously about the ship once more, his eyes catching on glittering treasures and soft, luxurious feathers, some furs and other things--what a rich place this must have been. Place for power, He thought, and began rising to his feet again, his hand tracing one wall--Rotting, he tsk'd; Poor thing,--as he made for the stairs.
