"If I told you I was, I'd be lying."
:: She recalled what Fiona told her many centuries ago ::
"There is a kind of magic inside me. It awakened on the day I died."

Nara scratched at her ear and was easily confused by all of this. "You talk as if you're a Mage, but you're not?"
She growled. "I don't get it."

"I was killed in a Viking raid when I was seventeen, Nara. When I woke up I had no idea what had happened, how I could be alive. In a way, it was like your first change. The day you discovered you were Garou."

Her head fell away as she thought about her first change. It wasn't pleasant. She was kidnapped and drugged and taken to a safe location outside of the Navy base. It belonged to Cassie, the reigning Elder of the Furies back then.
Nara was fourteen when the change occurred. Not that much older then Brigid. Who was Immortal. By the sound of it, seemed like only certain people were. Waking up and magically alive? She stank of Mages ...
But her eyes grew distant as the Garou remembered something from the fight. "The Dancer called you an Old one. He knew what you were?"

"Looks that way. There's been a few incidents in the last week, and I think this is related."

"Incidents?" Nara's eyes came back up to Brigid's and then she smirked. "You don't stay outta trouble much, do you?"

"This is Chicago, Dorothy."
:: She reached for a comb before her hair dried too much ::
"There was a bar that was burned down, definatley an Arson. Someone left a little calling card behind."
:: Her mind tried to piece together a connection, but the truth was she hadn't seen Briggs or Dreggs since that night ::

"For someone supposedly 'Old', you're a real goof." Not to mention insane. She had never seen anyone that happy fighting a Black Spiral Dancer that wasn't one of Gaia's children.
Nara laid back down and watched Brigid comb her hair while talking about some bar. She barely was paying attention because her mind was still trying to accept her explanation. It was still weird thinking that this girl of 17 years was actually Immortal. What do they do? Age like a year for every hundred years or something?

"What?" Her brows wiggled around trying to figure out what Brigid was confused. "Oh. The goof remark?"
Brigid nodded.
"I dunno, you ack more like a teenager then someone who was killed by Vikings who knows how many years ago. Aren't you supposed to be wizened or something?"

:: Brigid laughed ::
"When you look like this at my age ..."
:: She gave Nara a flash of her figure beneath the robe ::
"... you can do anything you want to do."
:: She went back to combing her hair ::

The Garou's cheeks grew bright red as her jaw fell agape. She was stunned speechless but had enough sense to hide just a bit further under the covers. If it weren't for the fact that Brigid was so nonchalant about her nudity, Nara wouldn't have had the same reaction.

Like how hot you are?
"Right. I need to sleep off some of this."
That didn't sound good at all ...
"I'll be better healed up in the morning."
Good girl ...
Idiot.

"Hey you, I made sure the boys keep Kevin away while you ..." Vicki noticed that Nara was fidgety on the couch. "You okay? Your cheeks are flushed."
"Yeah, yeah. I'm fine."
"You sure?" She sat on the edge of the couch and place the back of her hand over the Garou's forehead.
Nara shoved it away. "I'm fine!" She lowered her voice. "Really. I just need some sleep."
Vicki raised a brow and relented. "Okay. Gonna pull up some floor with you as soon as I check your bandages."
With hands like an angel, she went about cleaning her wounds. Already the ones in her chest were starting to close up. Her arm was a different story entirely. Some of the acid got down into the muscle and it was going to take a long time for her body to heal that up.
"Learn anything interesting about Brigid?"
"What?" Nara looked horrified by the question.
Her friend looked at her oddly. "You know, about who she is and all that."
"Oh, yeah." The Fury shrugged. "It's complicated."
Vicki snorted with amusement. "Sounds familiar."
Narrowing eyes threatened to smack her, but Vicki just chuckled and finished up tending to the wounds. Soon she was fast asleep, but Nara couldn't. Her mind was filled with questions. About her family. Her purpose. Brigid. It wasn't until closer to 4 AM that sleep finally took hold and Nara drifted into a troubled sleep ...
