Zach wasn't a slow reader, but he could feel Julianna's eager eyes burning into him as he perused the article, which slowed his pace somewhat. Werewolves? What a curious topic! Part of him couldn't help but feel worried that his sister was about to reveal she was one, but he banished that thought, assuming she was just excited about a new finding.

He'd scarcely gotten into the meat of it before she spoke up, and he peered at her in surprise from over the top of the journal. Shock morphed into joy. If he hadn't already been standing, he would have leapt to his feet. "This is all your work?! Published! Jules, this is wonderful." Of course, he was casting judgement before he'd fully read the article, but he was just so proud that his sister's work had been published at all. He was an academic at heart, so there were very few topics he refused to engage with. Certain topics he couldn't sell at his shop, but that was mainly to keep away any uproar. He referred those customers to Gordon Gibson.

"I think I would love to read it in its entirety," he answered, a teasing glint in his eye. He would likely read it twenty times over when he had the chance! "I didn't realize this was the topic you were pursuing. What an interesting choice. Is this truly what interests you most?" The question wasn't met with scrutiny. It seemed Zachariah truly wished to know of her interest. "I do think it's wise you did not publish under your name, which is a terrible shame that has become such common practice to avoid societal outrage." His remark was laced with an odd amount of sarcasm. In his opinion, most topics shouldn't be censored to appease the sensitivities of the public.

He glanced down at the journal and started skimming once more, impressed. "How did you locate so many willing interviewees? Lycanthropy isn't something discussed in most circles."
