Wren didn’t feel that being emotional in public made him look foolish; it was just hard for her to handle, since it was something she could no longer muster up herself. “I highly doubt it.” It wasn’t like he was bothering anyone. He certainly wasn’t bothering her in the conventional sense. “Although some people are starting to stare.”

Of course people would stare – he was a grown man practically weeping in public. And, a well respected man no less. Hannibal took in a shaky breath in an attempt to steady himself. “They are – I apologize. It is rather rude of me to disturb their day like this. Thank you for your… attention, officer. I should find myself a more private area to sort out my uncontrolled emotions.”

Although most would’ve been in tears at the sight of one of their biggest secrets being exposed to the world, Wren was not like most. The short blonde was not even close to tears. However, she did have the feeling of numbness (even moreso that usual). When people spoke to her, it was as if she couldn’t hear what they said. Although she knew she needed to move, the blonde found it hard to. And the chief had even sent her home for the day, considering she wasn’t much use in her current state. As she sat down on a bench, she brought her knees to her chest, and watched as everyone who passed by, seemed to shy away even more than usual.

It would have been impossible to ignore everything that had been going on, even without having a secret that could possibly be leaked. Though the moment he saw what the town’s gossip page had to say about his girlfriend, he was thoroughly displeased. It wasn’t as if he was upset that Wren had kept it from him – it was more upsetting that she had been blackmailed and something that was extremely personal was aired out in the open without her consent really. He just wanted to do something about it, but he knew he couldn’t ( after trying several times ). He was feeling defeated when he saw her sitting alone on a bench, closing the distance between them and sitting down beside her. He didn’t have to say anything, nothing could make it better. He just wanted to be there with her. He slowly allowed his arm to drape around her shoulder as if to silently say: I’m here for you.

Unsure of how she’d ended up in Virginia, Natasha decided to scope out the area. One good thing about being in her current body was that the girl was short and most definitely did not look like a threat. She also seemed to be a police officer, which meant that if Natasha needed a weapon, she would have one on hand. Putting earbuds she’d found in her pocket into her ears to look as inconspicuous as possible, she continued to examine the area. However, as she rounded a corner, she noticed someone staring at her.

Bruce was a curious soul by nature ( being a scientist ), but most of his curious thoughts remained confined in his lab. Experiments and exploring ideas in a controlled environment was always the best route – although with his little problem, that was harder than he wanted it to be. He was trying his best to mellow out his emotions as much as possible, not wanting an even bigger problem on his hands. He began to look around and scan over his surroundings when he noticed a girl, lips pursing slightly. Should he approach or keep his distance just in case? He decided to do the former, but as slowly and carefully as possible. “Excuse me miss, you wouldn’t happen to know where we are… would you?” He didn’t seem to have a phone on him, which was strange for him.

Basil’s nose twitched in thought out of habit, but it didn’t feel as natural now that he found himself as a human. How? That was a good question and he was more than determined to find out. His best guess? Rattigan had to be involved, of course. He didn’t know how, but it seemed like something the other would have a hand in. He began to search for clues, feeling a bit strange without Dawson at his side. That’s when he saw someone on the street, pointing directly at them. “You! I demand you tell me where I am at once. Are you working for Rattigan? I don’t know how he managed to rope humans into this little plot of his, but I will not stand for it.”

Tina had loved reading the gossip that went on about the town and its residents, only wishing that she knew the person behind it just so she could have the inside scoop of everyone. She’d recognized the other only because of that blog. She didn’t feel bad for her considering the secret seemed so minor compared to everyone else. She decided to approach despite that, casually eating the lollipop she had with her. “What’re you looking so sad for? You know, I’m kind of curious to see what those scars actually look like. Like, are they actually huge and horrible or are they small and you’re making a big deal over nothing?”
