Ah, is this whom we briefly saw when the author needed a spot of 'rescuing'? How goes the Seventh Street Case?

Whitley: Oh! You must mistake me for the Alpha. It happens a lot… we do look rather similar.
But, yes, the Seventh Street case. It is a puzzle that has grown more complicated by the day, I’m afraid. We though it a rogue lycan at first, but there are too many inconsistencies.

Ah, you must be his 'Quincy' then. That must be an 'interesting' job.

Whitley: *smiles* I’m closer to a “Sam” to the current “Quincy” but I appreciate the compliment. It is indeed interesting. Far more interesting than my last job, at any rate.
But speaking of interest…forgive me, you’re the first unicorn I’ve ever met. I have so many questions.

I'm sure you do, from what I've gathered about Elmwood. Fire away, I have plenty of time.

Whitley: *smirks, a little self conscious about the question he’s about to ask* Apologies if you hear this too often, but the whole granting wishes thing, surely that’s a wive’s tale?

Hmmm.... *thinks it over* It's not 'granting wishes' per se. I see it as helping the less fortunate. I'm a problem-solver by nature, manifesting not always where I expect to be, but more often where I'm needed to be.

To improve the lot of others in greater need of balance.

Why? Was there a particular 'wish' you have in mind?

Whitley: Oh, no. I wouldn’t want to impose. I was just curious about misconceptions and rumors. There are many rather unfortunate pieces of gossip regarding lycans, and I wondered whether there were any that revolved around the more heroically depicted creatures, as well.

Oh plenty I haven't heard, I imagine. I won't have had time to debunk them all, I'm still relatively fresh to a lot of this. 'Relatively'. Time is a complicated business, you know.

*feeling the rustling in my mind* Oh, great. 'Heroic'. I'll be hearing about that one non-stop for weeks.

Whitley: *tilts his head curiously* I figured you weren’t completely a unicorn with your glasses, but… are there two of you in there?

Two aspects of one being, thinking and learning from each other in tandem, if not always in unison with each other. Human and unicorn, with varying degrees of each. A complicated side-effect of prolonged transformation into a 'higher' being that has the intuition, but lacks the experience.

Whitley: *nods* Then you certainly have my empathy. It is difficult to contend with oneself most of the time.

It's a bit different, changing into a form that's less 'savage' - if you'll excuse the word - but possess more insight than you do.

Whitley: *shrugs* I suppose insight is a matter of perspective. Your other half’s insight is articulate and sapient. Mine is intrinsic and instinctive, but certainly beyond my typical understanding. Both, I would wager, are hard to argue with.

We have our moments. But we're also tasked with a purpose and aware of what the other can bring to the table, so we will 'debate' a fair amount over an idea or a concept.

Whitley: *raises his eyebrows with a small chuckle* I’m jealous of that luxury. Fortunately, most of the time my wolf and I are on the same page, but on the full moon I always lose our… “debates”.

Do you... have to take precautions?

Whitley: Oh, yes. The lot of us, actually. We all pack up and go to a wildlife reserve owned by one of our members for the night, far, far from town. If anyone has trouble shaking it off the next day, we have half a dozen silver plated cages in the basement of our headquarters where they can find control again. If all else fails, my mentor, Beckett, has created a really rather brilliant wolfsbane injection as a “rescue” of sorts. Ordinarily, it would be lethal to lycans, but he has balanced it just so.

I imagine your other aspect doesn’t need as many failsafes.

Thou art speaking of me as if I were not present.

Then come out and answer, nobody's trying to stop you. Or do you still not feel safe yet?

It beith... an unusual feel, to face one of self-control but aware of weakness in such a capacity. I know not of what to think.

Big fluffy boi

Most definitely a floof XD

Some fluff in his human form, mega fluff in his wolf form.

*fluffiness intensifies* XD

Soon, there will be too much fluff that you won't be able to see his face in the frame!

XD True! Just imagine that coat in winter

Can he talk in his wolf form?

With limited telepathy towards his pack/other canines, yes. ^^ He also has a hybrid form which is capable of speaking verbally and telepathically.

That is awesome!
