[Hank half-turns as he starts talking and then jolts hard, heart suddenly going rabbit-fast in his chest, reaching toward his hip for something he hasn't carried in what feels like a lifetime - it didn't come with him when he got pulled out of Detroit. He tries to play the gesture off by rubbing his hand down his thigh and then onto the ground next to him, leaning back on it. He tries to stop staring, knows his eyes are wide and his expression's probably pretty fucking dumb and this is normal here, he's seen people turn into shit before, animals, this isn't that different. Is it?
Fuck it. People turning into animals on its own is freaky and weird and this is the next step up from that, freakier and weirder, and the hand pressed to one of Hank's eyes moves to press against both his eyelids, so he's got an excuse not to look.]
Uh. [Come on. Think, Hank, you stupid fucker. Pretend this is normal. You know that voice.] Barabas?
[The name comes out sounding a lot smaller than he meant it to. He's got alien goo in his eye, he feels like shit, Barabas told him about all that werewolf stuff and there is no fucking reason to freak out over this.]
