Telepathy!
Speaking of thoughts: I tried to listen for some. It’s harder than you’d think, and sorry about the joke there. Animals are real easy for me to hear because I know I can hear ‘em, so when it’s harder than usual I don’t worry about it. I know how to do it; I just gotta push a little more, that’s all. But a werewolf? I gotta be lucky to hear them to start with.
Or unlucky. Yeah, definitely unlucky. If I hadn’t heard it the first time, I’d be safe in my bed right now. And I was just gonna stay unlucky, wasn’t I? The lucky result would be me getting bopped a few times by Bub, because that was still better than getting chomped on by a shapeshifter, and with how sour my luck was today…
This booze ain’t bad, I heard in my head. I’m gonna take a bottle, see how it mixes with blood.
I grinned, inside, where it didn’t show. Sometimes I gotta sort of trick my head, you know what I mean? No, you probably don’t. Don’t worry about it. Neither do I. I never got any lessons on this power of mine.
