The woman made a grunt of encouragement as Gabby told them how long she had been at school. It wasn't rare or farfetched to believe her, someone who looked like she did would probably be a whole lot safer in these walls. She didn't think there was a problem with her not being able to leave until Bjorn said something about it. Dezaira did not let her smile fade, but she did pour the next round for them a bit slower as she pondered her own answer. He wasn't from around here, that much was obvious, so he probably wouldn't understand. Or maybe he would, she reprimanded.
"Can you control your form," she asked Gabby. "If you can't, that's probably why they won't let you leave. Looking out for you, as they say." Dez downed her mug before filling them both again. "Fancy books?" She snorted before drinking. "My time is spent in the holoroom fightin' GH's. You're not going to learn to survive without fighting the wolves. Fancy books ain't gonna teach you that." Her composure changed slightly- perhaps sympathy? "Look, they give ya a place to stay, free food if ya want it, and they teach us to fight and protect ourselves. What Shifter can say no to that, huh?" Okay, maybe she was starting to feel it. What was she at- 6?

As Dezaira explained why Gabby might be kept in the school Bjorn simply shrugged his shoulders. It made sense if she couldn't control it that people would consider it safer for her to remain inside, but it still burned his mind to imagine living like that. Even when he lived in the Capitol he could usually sneak out into the Lord's garden at night to look at the sky and was brought on errands through the city (even though he was typically carrying the man).
Gabby confirming that she could not go into human form prompted the hulking man to reach over and pat her on the back comfortingly, if a bit more firmly than he had anticipated. "Maybe sometime you can show us your four leg self," he said. "Perhaps we could even be lucky and sneak you out for a night to get a good howl!" With that he grinned, hoping to look encouraging to the girl. A night out really could be good for the girl - getting some fresh air, as they say.
Dezaira seemed rather tickled (or was it annoyed?) at his mistake in thinking that this 'Academy' was a place of books, claiming that her time was spent in something called a 'holoroom.' Bjorn cocked his head to one side at that statement, confused. "What in the Moon's Name is a 'holoroom?' And how can something like that help teach you to fight real Wolves?" He reached over to pick up his mug and took a long drink from it before continuing, "I'd figure the only real way to learn to fight one of those beasts," he reached into his cloak with his free hand, pulling out a string necklace with several bestial fangs strung along it, "is to find them out in the wild. Or them find you, as the case may be." He set the necklace down on the table in case one of the girls wanted to get a look at it.
"Still," he spoke once again after downing the remainder of his drink, "I can see why a Shifter wouldn't want to pass up on that kind of offer. Food, shelter and no real monsters? Hard to beat it." He looked at how Dezaira's position shifted, but couldn't quite place what it meant was going on in her mind. Was she loosening up? She'd had a pretty significant amount to drink so far...

As she had expected. Gabby could shift just fine, but she wasn't able to appear human except to right herself in the walking position. It must have been hard for her to live her life like that, to always be on guard, never knowing who would want her pelt for sickening gains. Even in the academies walls there still must have been that nagging feeling in the back of her mind. The possibility that there were those walking the streets that would try to take her at any moment. Sure, she was safe here, and it was far better than the Capitol, but that pain possibly would never go away.
Dezaira raised her mug towards Bjorn in his attempt to brighten Gabby's mood before downing it. She was filling it up when she let out a roaring laugh, before gulping that one down. "You may have your fancy necklace, but we've learned how to fight for years now. The programs are real, made by hunters who've taken down even elder wolves. Going out on missions shows just how far we've progressed, or turning up the program inside the room. Real monsters are relative when you're inside that room," she said, realizing the keg was almost empty as she filled up her and Bjorn's mug.

Bjorn listened to Dezaira explain about the holo-thingy with a shrug. He couldn't really understand why somebody would willingly want to call forth 'real' beasts but if they had some way of controlling the creations he could see the benefits. Hell, he certainly could've used some training when fleeing for his life out into the wilderness for the first time! He picked up the filled mug once more and chuckled before speaking, "All monsters are relative. Even we are the monsters in the eyes of some. Maybe we'll take a look at your created beasts as well, see how they measure up." He took another drink from his mug, nearly a quarter of the liquid in one go. He was keeping himself paced with the drinks, making sure not to go too fast so that his mind did not slip without him noticing.
Turning once more to Gabby he smirked, "Well I'm not tied down this night," he began, "and I'd say the moon should be quite wondrous if there are few clouds. How about we make our own mission: get out into the night and return without them knowing we were gone. Think you can handle that, pup?" The large man nudged the wolf girl with his elbow while taunting her jokingly. "You are certainly welcome to join as well, Dezaira," he continued with a gesture towards the other female using his mug. Joking aside, he wouldn't back down if they accepted - staying locked away all the time was simply unhealthy. He would simply have to stay on his toes and protect them in case something real showed up.

Dezaira nodded toward Gabby before filling up her mug, happy the girl was drinking. She needed to get loosened up, especially since she was talking a bit more and being more social. Then again, the shifter thought, maybe that wasn't such a good thing. Now she was talking about going for a run outside of the walls, and this Bjorn fellow was willing her on! Didn't he hear a word Dez had said? She's safe within the walls, there were poachers and murderers out and about. And this random stranger was offering his assistance just because he showed some trophies? Gabby may not have thought it was a little bit suspicious, but Dezaira sure did. It didn't matter if he was a shifter as well, it didn't matter if he thought he was helping out. No, it mattered that the girl stayed safe and this man was outright taking her into danger!
"Be careful," Dezaira said jokingly, "I might turn the safeties off and let them chew you up." She snickered at that before downing her mug, realizing it was empty. She reached to the keg to fill it up again, however that seemed to be empty as well. How many had she drunk? She shook her head, a cracked smile appearing ear to ear, before she shouted, "And that's the game! Too slow, too little. Guess I win another competition." She was practically cheering at this point, flexing her muscles before kissing a bulged bicep. Yes, she was rather drunk at this point, but it wasn't like the others were helping her with the keg. "So you'd willingly follow a man you just met into the surrounding area, knowing that leaving these walls leaves you open to men and women with less than honorable intent?" Damn did she get long winded when she was drunk. Her speech was slurred slightly, and her arms flailed about as she became off balance. "Sorry, little missy, but I gotta say that's a s**t idea. And you," she slurred, moving her attention to Bjorn, "why get her hopes up? If you're not careful, you could get her killed. Is that what you want on your conscious?"
