arracht[ After the attack of Lycaon's pack and the full moon, things have... mostly calmed down, Derek figures. Now seems as good a time as any to talk to the camp, because like he'd told Jason-- someone had to say something about the werewolves, and why not the werewolf himself? By now, he's sure word has spread through the metaphorical grapevine-slash-actual strawberry fields.
It's not like his lineage is a secret anymore, even if it's all been rumors so far.
Fully healed-- the garish clawmarks across his face completely gone, now-- Derek addresses the camp via IM, from Cabin 13. ]
Now that it seems like things have calmed down this past month, since the attack on camp, it's probably time to address a few things.
Tackling the rumors first: yes, I am a werewolf. No, I am not a member of Lycaon's pack. Lycaon's wolves are maneaters and monsters, but there are some packs out there repulsed by the idea that don't affiliate themselves with him. Mine has had close affiliation with the Roman legion for generations, in that we help to defend against any attack attempts from actual monsters.
No, I did not sneak into camp. Mr. D, Chiron, Lupa, and the Roman praetors are all aware of what I am. It was my prerogative as to whether I told anyone else or not, and I understand if some people will distrust me for this. That's your prerogative, but I didn't come to this camp to cause any harm. This is just as much my home as it is yours, now, and I'd sooner poison myself with wolfsbane than let it fall. [ Not again, never again. ]
As for the matter of someone being bitten? If you don't know who it is, then it's not any of your business. They'll reveal themselves when they feel ready to. They're of no threat to you, and neither am I. [ But if anyone makes an attempt to attack him, to attack Scott? There's something unspoken in his stare, so very like the one many Romans learn from Lupa. They have the same right to defend themselves as the rest of the camp does. ]
If you have questions... [ If it's not obvious that he's less than thrilled with this concept, you're not looking at him right. He's already less than thrilled with having to make this Iris message, to be perfectly honest. But it needed done. ] I'll try to answer them.
