His father said something about the moon and suddenly seemed agitated again, but a different kind of agitated. Theo's brow furrowed, what was he talking about?
Oh.
God.
No.
He looked down to his very tranquil looking bandaged brother. Was is it really the full moon that night or was that not what his father meant? Maybe his father was wrong or he'd been using an out of date almanac. Somehow he didn't think so, it seemed appropriate that Lou would be trying to turn himself in today, and it did seem like a whole month ago that he'd heard about the Minister's daughter being turned. Once upon a time, Theo had kept track of the full moons so he always knew when to expect Lou to be locked away. Then he'd "died" and Theo had still tracked them for the first six months until it upset him too much to think of it. He ought to get back into the habit of tracking the moon.
"Is it safe?" It surely sounded like he was being stupid and asking if it was safe to be around Lou at the full moon, but what he was actually trying to ask was whether his condition would be worsened by turning into a wolf. What if it opened up all the wounds and he died upon turning back or while in wolf form?
Oh.
God.
No.
