"Well, if Julius is really loving you the way you think he is, then he should accept it as a mistake," Matt said, slightly and slowly nodding to himself. He yawned from pure exhaustion, and his stifling was quite noticeable as if an apology in and of itself. "Sorry, haven't been sleepin' lately," he said before continuing with his speech, "But no matter what you think, anything done by anyone effects everyone and everything. It's a ripple effect," Matt said as if it were something that he had been contemplating for a while. Divine Plan, maybe. That was Matt's thoughts on the matter. There was always a plan by someone upstairs; although, the complete lack of this was intention. Matt doesn't preach what he believes, only what he knows.

San looked at him. "But what if it hurts him? What if he gets made at hurts someone else.. I don't think he can always control himself. I don't want anyone to get hurt..." San was looking at Matt pleadingly, as if to say 'I don't have to, do I?' Her eyes were round with fear, and guilt was obvious on her face. "I was so stupid.."

Matt reached around for a moment, but not touching San. He looked as if he were deciding what to do for a moment before he put his right hand on San's right shoulder and his left hand on San's left shoulder in a reassuring manner. "I ain't forcin' you t'do anything, so just do what you want. Just know that I've got your back, mate," he said as if this was the calm before the storm. "Don't beat yourself up; life is learned by makin' some mistakes. Stuff happens, you're going to have to get over it," he said.

San smiled, and decided to would be better not to hug him at the moment. "Thanks, Matt. It means a lot." A small dark face peaked out of Sanet's pocket, and emerged quickly, revealing a long body. It scampered up San's side, and across Matt's arms to sit on his shoulder. Now that it was still, it was recognizable as a ferret. "Oh, that's Mr. Twix. He'd my ferret. He's usually not so friendly. He actually bites most people.."

Matt arm retracted when he first saw the creature scamper up his arm. With moves like lightning, he was about to grab the little thing, until he heard San speak. Then, he only asked himself the obvious, 'She named her ferret after a chocolate bar?' The only thing Matt asked was in a bit of disbelief, "You named your ferret after a chocolate bar?" with a quizzical look on his face.
"Well, if he bit me, we'd have a problem," he said a bit seriously. Piercing of the skin wasn't very liked in the mind of this lycan.

"I don't think he's gonna bite you, he seems to like you fine," she said happily. Mr. Twix was snuffling about Matt's shoulder, pressed close against his neck. "And yes, I named him after a chocolate bar... cuz he got me in trouble once. I was at a store, and he got out of my pocket and got into the candy.. his name used to be Peppers. It never really fit." San had one of her silly grins on again, though her eyes were watched Mr. Twix closely.

"I'm not even gonna ask where you got Peppers," Matt said with a smile. He yawned again, and he could feel the weight of his eyelids finally bearing down on him. He acquiesced and shut them, giving in to the powerful urge of sleep. Matt didn't fall back or forward, but sit in the position of which he was sitting. Had there been a glare in the air or a tint to his visor, it would have been impossible to tell he was sleeping by looking at him.

San smiled. "Probably a good idea," she said. Matt didn't respond. She waved a hand in front of his face no response. Mr. Twix had curled up on Matt's shoulder and fallen asleep. "I know... I'll surprise him!" With that, she quickly shifted into the guise of a panther and stalked off into the night. The panther's foot steps were as silent as the night itself, as it padded through the forest like a starless sky. It sniffed the air, and began to follow it's nose. It quickly found two squirrels and a sleeping duck. It carried these back to the camp in its maw. At camp, it placed them in the empty turtle shell, and carefully picked up blackberries in its mouth and placed them in the shell, before placing that in the fire. It would bake to be sweet, that was certain. Her work down, she curled up and slept, though her dreams were interuppted by the same nightmare as before. She still hadn't decided what to do about Julius, debating on Matt's advice.

Matt dreamed, if you could call it that. But his dreams weren't of flowers and rainbows or gunshots and bullet wounds. No, his were of nothing. Just floating in perpetual darkness, not knowing or caring--ignorant of the world around him. It was here that he found peace with himself and the world around him, considering that there was no world around him. No idiotic groups taking things to extremes, no people quibbling over a misplaced Euro. Nothing. The solace was just as perpetual as the darkness, bathing him in comfort. When he did remember his dream of nothing, Matt wished that he'd sleep more. While dreaming his hands moved as if pushing away something, and he started muttering unintelligible words. The other side of the coin was showing itself, and if Matt knew what it was about he would have thanked God that he hardly remembered his dreams.

Sanet was woken up by murmurings, and she saw Matt moving about. Maybe he was having a bad dream.. He seemed to be pushing something away. She went over, still panther formed, and pressed a cold, wet nose against his cheek. When she pulled away, her emerald eyes continued to train themselves on him, waiting for him to awaken. She sat down, and hoped he wouldn't be mad.

Matt awoke startled. His heart was thumping, and his eyes shot open, if only for a moment before they returned to a heavy, tired look. "I'm okay," he said, half here and half there. Matt looked a little shaken up as he was quickly awakened. Well, he actually had a bed to sleep in, might as well use it, "Mate, I can't stay up anymore, I'm going to have to hit the hay. If y'need anything, don't hesitate to ask." And with that remark, he slowly got up, grabbed all of his things that he might have forgotten, and left with a wave of his hand without looking back.
