"Thanks," she murmured, taking the meat. "And it's someones, actually." She said no more for the moment. If Matt decided to ask, she would tell. If not, that was fine, too. Instead she just ate her meat carefully, savoring the taste. She'd had turtle before, when she was on the run, but that was besides the point. She ate, not fast, maybe slow, depends on one's point of view.

Compared to San, Matt was eating his meal quickly, like someone was going to take it away from him. Well, he was trained to eat quick and strike hard, so now he was just acting on habit and instinct. "Is it something you want to talk about?" he asked in between chewing mouthfuls of turtle. If she said no, she said no. If she said yes, then he would continue with the subject. He wasn't about to crash through one's privacy.

"I suppose it would be better than holding it in, you know," she said. Still, she did not elaborate, waiting for a question to answer, not a void to fill with unwanted chatter. She didn't want to go on talking about something he didn't want to hear. "Tell you what.. I'm rather bored, so let's make this into a game. How about you guess, and I'll tell you if you're right or not?"

"I dun' know. Someone die?" Matt asked as he shrugged. The lycan figured that such sighs came from death or something along the lines of loss, but guessing loss would be too general and clichéd (not that guessing 'death' wasn't a cliché already). When there was hardly any meat left, Matt began savoring the flavor, letting the semi-burnt taste of the turtle wash over his tongue. He spit out a couple of bones which landed into the fire. A sizzling sound came out.

"Well, that's one of them. His name was Martin. He died for me. He was my best friend," said San quietly. "That might be right for another one, too.. I just don't know where he is. He disappeared. He was my dad." She let out another sigh. "There's one more, of course." She wondered if he would guess, if he would know who he was. ( Short... -.- )

"Is that it, mate? Because I don't have the slightest clue to anything else," Matt said as he finished his turtle. He wiped his hands off on each other, which really didn't solve the original problem at all. He flicked another bone onto the fire, which he watched burn and crack in the heat of the the fire. A couple of his best mates had been killed, though the exact memory was a blur in his mind; he was only certain on the generalities.

"Perhaps that's a good thing," she murmured. She let out a loud yawn, and turned over on her side. "I'm gonna take a nap, wake me up if anything happens." She closed her eyes, and sleep came faster than usual. She was asleep in minutes. (short... -.- *..... again.)

((Touché...))
Matt had no need to sleep himself, so he poked around the embers in the fire. He watched and marveled as he saw them become flaming hot one moment and then die the next like a long race where you go all out in the beginning and collapse half-way through. A small splash cut through the silence of the night like a knife; but, it was a wound that would heal. Matt simply stared on into the night, not really expecting much to happen.

Sanet slept soundly, her world only penetrated by dreams of fire, turtles, wolves and stars. She was in her otter form, playing, when a turtle erupted from the ground behind her. It was immense, the size of a volcano, and it swallowed her whole. She found herself in the forest, with wolves dancing around a fire. The fire grew higher, bigger, and the air was filled with their eerie howls. The wolves danced about on their hindlegs, eyes glittering brightly in the moon. The stars were getting brighter, brighter, closer. She reached out, and found she could touch them. She touched one, and Martin materialized. She hugged him tightly, but he gestured towards the other stars. She touched them, but she didn't recognize the people. They all looked semi-solid, gasous and see-through. She searched the ghostly figures for her father. She turned to ask Martin where he was, but Martin was gone, and the figures were coming closer. Through them she could see someone.. solid. She ran after him, pushing through the ghosts even as they emitted their harsh wails. It was her father. She just knew it. She chased him through the woods, calling out to him. He did not turn. He disappeared around a bend. From the corners of her vision, she could see Viktor watching her closely, and Sanet ran into something solid. Arms wrapped around her, and she knew it was Julius. She wrapped her own arms around him, but he was suddenly different. He turned into a wisp of dark smoke, which reformed into a demon. It flew at her, and Sanet tried to scream. She tried to scream for her father, for Martin, for anyone. Nothing came. She stared at the creature's red eyes, which seemed to grow.. hypnotizing. She could see her father, she could see Martin, she could see her mother weeping at a table with a note in hand. San woke up, breathing heavy, cold and sweaty and terrified. Her eyes were wide. She tried to look away from the stars, from the fire, from the turtle shell, from the shadows, but it was too much. She buried her head in her hands.

At this point Matt had put back on his camouflage shirt (which was missing part of the right arm at this point). He was a bit alarmed as to San's sudden awaking. He looked back at her, and noticed the sweat and anguish. Matt stood up for a moment and then sat back down on the log next to San. "Now, mate, it's not usually my place to ask questions, but I think you've got something bad going down in your noggin," Matt said in a calm voice, "I think it'd be best to get if off yer chest."

San's eyes grew large. "But.. it's.. it's so many things.. but.. I can't find my dad.. I thought I might find him at TMA. And there's still grief over Martin. But I'm really worried about Julius. I don't know if you know him.. but he's my boyfriend, I guess, and he acts really strange sometimes when he goes into vampire mode.. it scares me.. and then there's this guy Viktor.. I don't really like him.. but.. something went wrong with my animal side.. and I cheated on Julius and I feel really bad..." Her sentences were broken up and jumbled with embarassment, and she traced a circle with one hand in the sand.

"Well, even if y'don't want my advice I'm gonna give it anyway. Keep talking, be truthful, all of the that stuff," Matt said. He looked as if he didn't know what to do, judging by the facial expression that meant "I'm tired", but he couldn't get any sleep. It was always just the same thing: almost sleep, wake up, and then repeat. "And so if you just told me all of that know, what's stoppin' you from telling this 'Julius' chap?" he asked, having never met Julius or Viktor. It was only till now that he realized how much of a loner he's been.

"Because I don't want to hurt Julius.. and I'm afraid of what Julius might do.. and.." San's legs were brought up to her chest, her forehead on her knees and her arms wrapped around her shins. "It's different, you know? You're someone who's on the outside with this. You aren't really affected by it. That's why I can tell you. And.. I think you're my friend, and that means I can confide in you." She didn't have the courage to look at him.
