"Oh. I'd imagined he's a nice guy, if everyone seems to like him," she says with a small smile, listening to the description. A wolfman at atleast 50%- it sounds almost interesting, especially with the fact he's mentioned so often.
Her thoughts are pushed in another direction when Joliette continues, "What do you mean?" Her voice is quiet, and she only asks in hopes it not something to do with the change.

"I lost control of myself out in the jungle and almost attacked one of hte others... Got control again before I did... but it terrified me... I was scared to lose control again.. Scared to be around others, waking up next to a dead boar piglet with blood in my mouth, and then nearly attacking someone..." she closes her eyes and pulls her hands into her lap "I was sure if I was around others it'd happen again... so I stayed away"

Lily's hazel eyes widen when Joliette explains, regretting that she asked almost at once. She'd almost attacked someone! More than once. But she'd gotten control back, she didn't actually hurt anyone.
Except the boar piglet..?
How could this conversation connect so much to what had happened with Colche? Of course, she doesn't realize just how much it's related. She takes her hand from her glass. How far into the change is Joliette that she's attacking things?
How long does it take before you lose control?
"A boar piglet?" she murmurs, finally, "How many o-" she stops, thinking about it. When Colche killed the piglet, it hadn't taken long for it's mother to show up and attack them.
"Did the mother boar show up?" she asks, speaking from her own experience and the common knowledge that many mothers are protective she would guess one would have.

Joliette shrugs, "I guess not, I don't know, I kinda did it like in my sleep, I don't even remember leaving camp, but I was a good hundred feet downriver from camp when I woke... " she sighs and lifts her head and leans on the table
"That sight will haunt me for a long time I think, opening my eyes and looking into the lifeless ones of an animal. Blood on my claws, blood in my mouth, and teeth and claw marks on the piglet making it obvious it was ... dead" Her voice never raised in volume as she spoke

Lily looked a little more calm as she thought about it. Why would a mother boar attack her and Colche, but leave Joliette alone? This woman doesn't look much more threatening than Colche, taking down a piglet in your sleep seems much more likely than killing it and injuring a furious mother enough to make it back off.
"That's odd, do you think yo-" she hesitates, Joli seems so upset about the piglet, would asking about injuring the mother in her sleep make her feel worse? She pauses while trying to reword her phrase.
"Were you injured when you woke up?" She asks, if the mother hadn't shown up it's odd, but if she was asleep and didn't know that for sure surely she couldn't take on one without getting injured, even if she doesn't realize it.
She doesn't say anything to Joli's comment about the piglet, it hadn't been a pleasant experience with her but it was because it had proven the control the animal side of them could take. It's better just not to comment on it, in her opinion.

Joliette didn't reply right away, she was thinking about the question as she ate another piece of ranch covered ham "No... Other then needing to throw up I was physically fine" she admits, she'd never previously put much thought into the event, she'd been glad it was over... and that it never happened again

Lily looks at the table, thinking about what Joli says. Colche'd gotten hurt just getting them out of the jungle, if Joli had no control she may not have just run away. It only makes sense, then, that the mother didn't show up. But why?
"It's not your fault," she says, finally- taking the same approach she had with Colche, "I- if you can't control it. But it's really strange that a mother didn't come, we were attacked by a boar after killing a piglet."
Saying it out loud, something sounded strange about it all. She'd never gone back to that part of the jungle after they got to the beach, what did mothers boars do with their dead children?
"Maybe you just found ours," she says suddenly.
If the boar stayed there, it was possible depending on how far away the camp was. If the mother moved it, it was possible depending on where it was moved to. No matter how unlikely it was, or even if it wasn't true, maybe it was something Joliette would prefer to think.

"It is my fault, I only lost control cause I was hungry...I still wasn't eatting what my body was demanding I eat... I was right near the river, on it's bank actually when I woke..." she thought about that possibility, that it'd been their piglet
"Maybe I did, I don't know, all I remember is really vivid dreams and then waking up" she pops another piece of ham in her mouth, she'd been eatting more of the meat then the greens that were swimming in dressing on her plate

She frowns, not eating when your body demanded it is not a good idea, but in the end it's not her fault she's being turned into an animal so she shouldn't be so hard on herself.
The river, as far as she knew, was no where near where they'd been. But it still sounds like a good idea to make it sound like she hadn't done anything.
"I don't know my way around very well, we could have been near a river," she says, taking a hold of her glass of juice again and swirling it around a bit, "If you don't remember exactly what happened, you could have taken it to the river."

She thinks about this idea and nods "Well I much prefer that idea over me having killed it... not great to have woken next to it... but... well yeah..." she looks at the girl "If everyone who works here wasn't gone, I would have easily blamed it in that arse Sabin... but.. well David told me there was noone here but us"
Her split yellow tongue flicked, she'd come to pretty much ignore her tongue, even if brought to her scents of meat and prey. As well as much to her relief, she'd stopped throwing up so much, even if she still couldn't stand the fact that she was no longer vegan

"I'm sorry that happened," she says quietly, truly feeling sorry about it. No one seemed to have a great deal of control over the situation, in the jungle the animal seemed stronger. Of course, she'd survived and she hadn't changed, but everyone she'd run into aside from Rex had.
"No one but us?" she questions, "That doesn't sound very easy, there are so many people working in the labs it'd be-" she pauses, and starts coughing. She really, really didn't mean to say it like that. The coughing doesn't stop as quickly this time, but when it does she breathes in and tries to resume her comment.
"Wouldn't it be hard getting everyone working here out without us noticing?"

Joliette looked at her, she frowns, the journalist wheels in her mind squeeking to life, even she had no idea just how many worked there, how could someone who was just there on vacation know. "We never see... most of the people here..." she says slowly as if digesting Lily's words as she spoke "I only know of the Git, Moreau, Aubrey, the gal who deals with the town hall... and the cook here..."

Lily hesitates, working hard to keep her face calm even though inside she's panicking. Her insides twist in ways that really don't make her feel any healthy, like she's going to be sick.
Why didn't she think before she said that?
"Well," she says, trying not to hesitate in fear of making herself sound even more suspicious, "T-the building is pretty big, and it can't be so easy to do what they're doing here..."
She lets go of her glass and instead holds her stomach, wanting to just go back to her duplex but concerned about making everything worse.

Joliette slowly nods "With Moreaus' high opinion of himself, I wouldn't be shocked if the size of the building is for looks, Em says the mansion is overly decorated.. opulent, a world where money speaks rank" she says trying to remember exactly how Emelyn worded it.
Her tongue flicks bringing back to her a sense of nervousness from the room, she says nothing about that, but watches Lily with a sense of journalistic curiousity, the same curiousity that brought her out in search of Vasile to begin with.

Lily gives a faint frown, and then shrugs.
"I guess that could be it," she says, "Some people do that. Maybe he likes bossing people around, too? He has a lot of control over the people around here, why not there?"
She doesn't sound as confident in this remark as she had been saying there were lots of people, but she relaxes a little bit having a valid possibility, and reason that she could think there are a lot of people in the labs.
