( the curse gave him one but he doesn't seem inclined to share it.
whether she was being silly or not, he shouldn't have made her choices for her. he's pretty much impossible to convince of the contrary on that particular subject. as to her question... )
( you say that but everyone is still technically alive so maybe not? ??
it takes him a little while to make good on the promise. he had a pair of rainbow skates for Maya, but none for himself. it's not an enormously long wait, though, and it might be worth it for the free rollerskates.
when he does arrive, though, it isn't alone. it's not abnormal to be seen in the park with a dog, though perhaps the fact he's without a leash is a little suspect.
you try putting a collar on a wolf, though. )
I hope you weren't waiting too long. ( no 'hello there'. no 'oh yeah, I brought my wolf brother along, hope you don't mind'. just that, and Graham holds out the bag with Maya's skates for her to take.
like she's going to take the skates when Brother is looking up at her with that charming puppy smile and fluffy face. )
Hi Mr. Graham! Nah, I wasn't out here for too long. I-- [Please, like she minds!! He's giving her free stuff and also bringing a fuzzy friend? It's a great deal. Plus, she isn't comfortable enough around Graham to start teasing him yet. She bounces up excitedly over to him when he shows up, waving, then---]
[Notices Brother and then rushes past Graham to say hi. She's pretty enthusiastic, but she does hold her hand out first to let Brother okay her before petting. She has dog manners!!]
---I didn't know you had a doggy friend! He's soooooo cute! What's his name? Can I pet him?
[to be clear, Brother gets the final say, not Graham]
( luckily, as far as wolves go, Brother behaves more like a dog than the supposedly foreboding wild animal he's meant to be. he blends in perfectly well in the city with his fluffy disguise, a little better than Sunny does. when Maya holds out her hand, Brother helpfully gives her a paw, as if she were going for a shake instead of just trying to allow him to get a sense of her scent. )
That's up to him, not me. I call him Brother. ( Brother seems to be grinning from ear to ear, so it'd be pretty safe to assume he wouldn't mind being pet. the spoiled brat has gotten all too used to those, lately; Maya is surely not the first to want to pet him, and undoubtedly not the last, either. ) I told him he could stay home, but he's got a mind of his own.
( truly, the most wolf like part of Brother is his absolute refusal to do anything unless he wants to. that's the wildest streak he has left, thanks to living side-by-side with a human for most of his life. the Huntsman had made the wolf more human, just as living with wolves had made the Huntsman more like an animal. hard to say if it was a good thing, in either case... but it was likely too late to change either of them, at the same time. )
[Maya's delighted!! She shakes his paw, cooing over how good of a boy he is before getting right on the pets. If Graham was expecting her not to spoil him, he's going to be sorely disappointed]
[She's also operating under the assumption that Graham is his owner, and the kind of owner that lets the dog walk all over him. That sounds right, from what she knows of him]
So does that mean we just did a brofist? [technically no, but she's going to act like they did.]
He's a smart little guy, I bet he doesn't want to miss out on the fun. Too bad they don't make rollerskates for dogs.... The ones you have aren't paw-sized, right?
( if Graham was hoping to keep his brother from being spoiled, he's really dropped the ball, seeing as everyone does it. honestly, Graham is not that much better, and if pressed he'd confess that the wolf has a lot of catching up to do. Brother had to spend much of his life cursed and alone, just like the huntsman himself. he's only making up for lost time, if you think about it. )
A brofist? ( thanks to his accent, Graham nearly always sounds like he's confused, but in this instance it was a genuine question. he has no idea what that is.
he doesn't suspect the wolf would have any inclination to try rollerblading, though. ) If anything, he came to watch me fall over. ( that is indeed what good brothers do. Brother doesn't even have the decency to look guilty at the suggestion as Maya dotes on him, which makes it even more likely that it's true. )
( Maya holds out her fist and Graham stares at it for a moment before replicating the gesture, even though he has no idea what either of them are doing. apparently bro-fists involve fists, though. who would have guessed it? )
I'll certainly do my best. It can't be too hard. ( we'll see where that sort of talk gets you, Graham Cracker... not very far, I would wager. )
[It seems like Maya-sempai has a lot to teach Graham Cracker... she thinks it's pretty funny a so-called serious grownup is up to doing all this stuff. Nick would never go for anything, let alone buying her something of his own volition.]
Well... learn from the master! Just follow my lead.
[She bumps her fist against him and then does a 'whoooosh' motion, complete with sound effects]
( he seems oddly silent and passive as she instructs, as if he's carefully memorizing the process, or they'll be a test on technique later. it's more complicated than she really warned, not that she warned in the first place. he is silent for a moment after, considering... )
I think so.
( you sure there, Graham, bc you were thinking about it a lot there... Brother huffed at their feet, either unimpressed by their fistbumps or the lack of attention he was receiving. honestly, it could be either. )

I shouldn't have taken them from you, so I wanted to see that you had a replacement.
