This ain't the kinda thing we can just close our eyes and ignore. Not with the bond an' everythin'... it'd just make one of us, or hell, both of us, pretty damn bitter by the end of it. [Another sigh.] The wolf won't wanna be along. Eventually it'll start makin' us want to be around each other, just for that comfort. Its gonna be one hell of a ride that way, never knowin' what's me, what's you, what's the wolf.... [Which usually worked better with an entire pack of werewolves. Because they balanced each other out. But he could understand Toby's impatience. He wanted to get back to some semblance of a normal life too. He didn't want all of this looming in the background all the time.] I get it, dude. Really, I do. This whole shitty thing would be a hell of a lot better if it was over.
