Beatrice blushed lightly and looked away from him quickly.
"Uhm," she said and paused. "You like to rub your earlobe when you're anxious."

"Mm?" Finn flushed a bit as well, clearly confused. He supposed it must be something he did subconsciously. "Oh, okay… I never noticed. Um… I guess it's my turn to ask a question. Let's see… who would you trust most in an emergency between me, Teagan, and Irena?"

Beatrice barely hesitated before blurting her answer.
"You." she said and then she gave him an apologetic smile.

"Me? That's a lot of responsibility." Finn laughed softly. "Although Teagan doesn't usually do very well under pressure. And Irena isn't great at that sorta thing… anyway, your turn."

Beatrice smiled.
"Okay," she said, thinking aloud before coming up with her question.
"Favorite animal?" She asked.

"Favorite? I mean… I like dogs a lot. I think they're neat. I have sort of mixed feelings on wolves. I do really like bats as well, though. What about you?"

"Penguins." Beatrice supplied cheerily. "Favorite food?"

"Chicken fried rice is pretty good… but nothing beats steak. It's just so expensive." Finn laughed. "Where would you want to go on vacation if money wasn't an issue?"

"Haiti." Beatrice responded quickly, she had always planned on visiting Haiti at some point in her life.
"Yours?" She asked lightly and looked out the window, where the sun was turning the room a soft gold color.

"Hm… I dunno. I've heard Switzerland is nice. Hiking and food and stuff would be fun." Finn shrugged. "Your turn."

"Most trusted person outside your family." Beatrice asked "oh wait, that's obviously Irena."

"Yeah, probably. I trust you too, though." Finn smiled softly. "What's your proudest moment?"

"When I became the kid with the highest grades in like third grade." She said and smiled. "My parents almost skipped me a grade because of it."

"You know, you have to tell me your answer too." She said and smirked smally.

"Oh, well… I dunno. Definitely wasn't my grades." Finn laughed. "I guess when I changed schools, before everybody knew we were werewolves, I was pretty popular. People liked me, we were allowed to do things. Proudest moment was probably when I was appointed captain of the baseball team. Then they found out I was a werewolf and I was kicked off the team entirely…"

"aww, Finn, I'm sorry." Beatrice told him truthfully. "I hope one day you can look back on that and not care about it, it might take a long time, but I hope you do."

"Yeah… I'll be alright." Finn shrugged. "I did like baseball, though, and I was good at it too. I'm just not allowed to play. A-Anyway, your turn to ask something!"

"Most angry you've ever been and why?" Beatrice asked. "I have a lot so–"

"Ooh, that's a tough one. Teagan and I kinda fight all the time. Although he and I aren't usually all that mad at each other… I was probably most mad when we were kids and someone tried to mess with Teagan for being a werewolf even though it was my fault. I turned and jumped on the kid, but luckily Teagan was able to stop me from biting him."

"Ah," Beatrice said, giving her best attempt at sounding wistful. "I love when my anger results in aggression."

Finn laughed, running his fingers through his hair. "Yeah… me and Teagan fight each other a lot, but usually it's over something stupid. We're not usually all that mad at each other, to be honest, but it's fun and it's good exercise. What about you?"

"Once when this kid in my grade called Joanna a slut." Beatrice revealed quietly and smiled at him. "I pushed his head into the corner of a desk and he chipped both his front teeth."

"Deserved." Finn shrugged, evidently unfazed by child Beatrice's violence. He and Teagan got into physical fights literally every day, after all. "What's some of your hobbies I might not know about?"

"Poetry and flower pressing." Beatrice told him and smiled. "The poetry thing always surprises everyone and the flower pressing is just unexpected because I hardly am ever seen outside so people think 'how can she collect flowers to press when she's almost never outside?'"

Finn hummed softly in reply. "Yeah, that's interesting. Is it fun?" He asked curiously, tilting his head to the side a bit like a dog. Although this was essentially just a convoluted way to have a conversation, he was enjoying getting to know Beatrice better anyway.

Beatrice nodded and visibly brightened.
"Yeah!" She said excitedly. "It takes a while to get it just right. But with my poetry it just kind of flows out of me at the most expected times, honestly."

"What about you?" She asked, mirroring him and tilting her head slightly.
