[ It makes sense what he's saying, at least conceptually, though he doesn't have a real grasp of how it's supposed to look in action, and even if Vrenille is admitting he doesn't exactly know how it's going to happen, he makes it sound like it will happen. Jericho can only deal with so many problems at one time, so he leaves that one for now. It's out of his realm of expertise, in any case.
The other issue... he unfortunately has far too much experience with, and it's never gotten any easier as the years have passed. ] The Factory locks me up once a month. The chains have to be strong enough to hold and it has to be somewhere I can't escape from. If for whatever reason I can't get back in time, I try and go far enough into the woods that I can't pick up anyone's scent, but that's risky. There's a chance I'd find my way to a town.
It's different with the moon. If I shifted now, I'd be able to control it. But on the full moon, it just happens and I lose all autonomy over my body. I'm not myself. [ He knows that's not true. The wolf is a part of himself, something he's learned to coexist with, but just barely. He never had any other wolves to teach him to curb his savagery, only a human determined to make him strong to be an asset to his agenda. ] The connection between beast and human is less stable because I'm not a pureblood. It takes a toll on my body, and... it's better if you're not around to see it. I start feeling the effects almost twelve hours before.
I just need a secure place. A cave, or dungeon -- something. Something away from other people. Somewhere that I can't break free. And I need you far enough that you don't have to see it, but close enough that you can put me down if I do escape. If you don't have a gun, you can borrow mine. [ If he can find it. Otherwise, he'll track one down somehow. ]
