[When Freya appears on the screen she has her usual friendly smile but also bright red hair. Her fingers run through the silky strands a few times before she remembers that she's already turned on her device.]

Hi! For those who don't know, I'm Freya and today if Pi Day! [She's a total nerd and loves this holiday.] If you don't know what Pi Day is, ask Victor. It has to do with circles and math.

You know what else is a circle? Pie.

On the topic of pie, I would like some for Pi Day but I can't bake to save my life and I don't know where the best pie in Quarantine is. So I need your help! Hit me up and we can all celebrate Pi Day together. Any pie is good. I'm not picky. Except I can't eat anything with chocolate in it. There's a whole deathly allergic thing.

[A beat.]

I also dyed my hair red.

[In case it went unnoticed.]

[that just makes minsu even more curious about them. he wants to be able to say that he's seen awful movies too!

minsu had guessed that she was, though there could be all kinds of different variations of things here. she confirms it for him now.]

Humans are great though, don't you think? [though that doesn't really explain the need to be one. minsu wipes at some non-existent spot on the counter before sighing.] My kind, the sort of foxes that we are, we're not usually very nice. I've done bad things too. [an understatement, but minsu's afraid and ashamed. he shrugs his shoulders.] If the legend's true and I can become human, maybe I'll like myself a little more.

[Freya picks at her pie while a thoughtful expression pulls over her features.]

Yes and no. I think people are really interesting and they have the potential to be great but they can't listen to their instincts and they do stupid or cruel things. [This is something that she's spent a lot of time thinking about.] I don't think that what you are defines who you are. It's a part of you but only you get to define who you are.

[She looks up at Minsu with a small smile.]

Become human if you want but you should learn to like yourself before you do that. Being human isn't going to make you like yourself anymore. It's a decision that you make. And I know I sound a little bit like a Disney movie but you have to admit that they have a point.

I am a wolf. Technically I am a were-human but semantics. I like myself plenty fine and I've met a lot of dickish wolves.

Ah...it's true, they don't.

[minsu's never thought about it before, but now that he does, humans seem as likely to do the opposite of their instincts. weird.]

I wonder why that is.

[he leans against the counter, listening. he's spent so long believing that he will like himself better as a human, that he'll be better as a human that it's hard to reject anything to the contrary. but her advice still soothes something in him.]

You're my first werewolf friend. [minsu smiles at her before suddenly...lifting up his shirt. he points to a circular scar at the top of his ribs. the faded marks of teeth.] The last one I met gave me this. It's the only thing I can't get rid of.

[Freya lifts her shoulders in a shrug.] I do not know. Trust me, I've tried to figure it out. [She has a lot of free time to think of these things.] You're my first fox friend. [Freya wrinkles her nose at the bite.] Eww, that sucks. Mmm, not sure I can help you get rid of that but I promise I won't bite you. Unless it's like friendly biting, I will do that but it won't leave a mark because that's rude. [Freya hopes that Minsu is able to like himself. He's pretty cool, at least what she knows about him. Plus he has been dubbed the bringer of pie.]
