So, I'm Mercedes Thompson and I need a job. Back home I'm a mechanic - VW's mostly, but I worked on all the German cars. Yes, yes, go ahead, heaven knows I've never heard the 'Mercedes, the Volkswagen mechanic' jokes before.

I know there aren't many cars here unfortunately, but hey, I'm good with my hands and someone pointed out I could probably fix heating and cooling systems or do building maintenance type stuff.

Other than that, I'm very organized (if you ignore my room at home), I have a purple belt in an obscure martial arts form, and, well, a history degree - specializing mostly in European history. Don't ask about the last, I spent enough time arguing with my mother about why I'm not using that degree.

I'm very responsible and have a tendency to do more than I strictly need to do, which I'm told employers tend to like.

Anyway, there's my job plea.


For the rest...

Everyone at the house, thank you for making me feel so welcome.

Kyle, thanks for letting me get some of my nervous energy out by working at Lux the other night.

Robin, thanks for the muffin and the spar.

I'd still rather be home, but everyone's made it a lot easier to be here.

I haven't actually had a female friend since college. Not a whole lot of women mechanics and since pretty much all the female werewolves hate me, it limits opportunities.

I haven't had many female friends myself. The female werewolves hate you because you can shift into a coyote?

Because I can have kids and they can't.

Oh. I'm sorry about that.

They have to change at the full moon and the change is too violent to let a fetus survive.

I don't have to change. I went three years without it once. It makes me... itchy and unhappy, but...

That's why Samuel wants me. Because I could give him children.

That's got to be horrible for them. But it's not a reason for them to not like you, it's not your fault.

Is that the only reason?

Well, having Adam claim a coyote as mate doesn't help.

If he was serious, it would mean that I'm dominant to all of them.

Sounds like a lot of prejudice going on there.

You don't think he's serious?

A lot of it's just instinct. Wolves and coyotes generally just don't get along in nature.

Choosing a coyote for a mate? No. He couldn't be. For all the reasons I just mentioned. But it protects me from the others.

Guess I can understand that.

But you don't know for sure do you?

I'm sorry didn't mean to pry this much.

No, it's okay.

There's really no one I can talk to about it, except Kyle, so...

Well then, I'd say if you don't know for sure, sometimes assuming can be bad.

I don't know, Rogue. Then why wouldn't he have ever said or done anything more than just stating he'd claimed me for all these years?

I don't know, men are impossible to understand no matter how hard you try. I'm not exactly an expert on any kind of relationships at all. Have you ever asked him about it?

No. It was always a non-issue till Samuel showed up.

From: [identity profile] ex-rogueinte76.livejournal.com
Maybe he realized something with that?

Date: Saturday, June 27th, 2009 04:56 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] coyote-walking.livejournal.com
Maybe.

Wow. A lot to think about.

There's always a million things to think about when guys are involved.

Date: Saturday, June 27th, 2009 05:39 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] coyote-walking.livejournal.com
Yeah. If I didn't like them both so much I might just leave.

Date: Saturday, June 27th, 2009 06:50 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] ex-rogueinte76.livejournal.com
Leaving doesn't always make it better anyway.

It helped the last time I ran away from Samuel.

Date: Saturday, June 27th, 2009 04:14 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] ex-rogueinte76.livejournal.com
Maybe it's just me that running away never works for. Seems I'm always found. You weren't then?
