[The wolf offers a short bark at Dimitri, except it comes out a bit deeper than expected because said wolf is so big.
The back end sags down onto the ground in the snow so the wolf is lying down. The tail sweeps the snow behind it. It peers at Dimitri with, hm, a familiar pair of greenish-blue eyes.
Through the eyes, Dimitri gets a memory. (until 59:00ish enjoy your like 8 mins of kingdom hearts nu)]
[ He has a lot to say about Kingdom Hearts, actually. This memory strikes him in a strange way, deeply uncomfortable when he emerges from it all, blinking out over the ice rink again.
However, talking about it could give this wolf an aneurism. Also, he squints. ]
[He's been gallivanting around as a big, bad wolf for the better part of an hour. That's as much as he gets.
When he transforms, it isn't grotesque like a werewolf, or a shapeshifter. He goes from being the dire wolf, to--poof--being Luke, sitting in the snow on the ground, still clothed as he had been right before.
[ He's not sure how to explain that this was a buried memory of his real self without making Luke pass out, so he just sighs and offers a hand to help him up. ]
...I see. [ is this a metaphor, luke. it doesn't seem like a big deal compared to the memory he just saw, but he doesn't make fun of him or anything. ] And now you are trying to make amends?

he sort of braces himself, like he's prepared to get leapt on. an overgrown man playing with an overgrown dog. ]

Luke—?

When he transforms, it isn't grotesque like a werewolf, or a shapeshifter. He goes from being the dire wolf, to--poof--being Luke, sitting in the snow on the ground, still clothed as he had been right before.
But he looks confused, and a tad bit shaken.]
no subject
...Are you all right?
[ Not just the transformation—that was an intense memory. ]
no subject
...Yeah. [...] Sorry, I don't... know what... that was.
no subject
A dream, perhaps.
no subject
Also Luke: but I'm fine with being a dire wolf]
A... dream?
[WILD?
His grip is still strong when he takes Dimitri's hand to use it to pull himself to his feet.]
no subject
I forgot Dimitri is still stabbed and burnt as shit, but he helps Luke out of the snow without flinching. ]
...Something like that. Maybe it will make more sense to you in time?
no subject
Sure. Good luck with that. Everything happening this year doesn't make a lot of sense. I guess it's karma for messing up last year.
[Dusting the snow off himself.]
no subject
...Something you did last year?
[ he feels like luke brought this up vaguely before but he just responded by being a dick. he's like 50% more chill right now. ]
no subject
Which is why he glances at Dimitri, looking somewhat hesitant.]
...It's nothing. Just a mistake I made with school last year.
no subject
He doesn't want to pry too hard, but... ]
You do not make it sound like nothing.
no subject
I failed a class last year. [His voice is quieter, like the snow.] It ended up... being harder than I thought.
So I cheated. But the professor caught me.

no subject
I'm just trying to pass the class.
[Yeah, he's trying to make fucking amends.]
