[ He very rarely reveals the necklace he's wearing. It's usually tucked under his shirt. Now, though, he'll hook a finger under the thin chain and pull the pendant out to lay over the top of his shirt instead. It's a giant wolf tooth wrapped in silver wire, longer than a pointer finger. A closer look would reveal strange carvings delicately engraved into the tooth. ]
It glows the closer I get to a full moon, too. Usually, anyway. It isn't active here. [ Hence him asking when the full moon was way back at the beginning. ] I'm not sure there are downsides. I'd probably be even scarier without it, but I don't think that's worth the risk. Besides, people already look at me like I'm a monster most of the time, even with it... I don't need to be scarier.
[ McGillis is absolutely going to give this as close of a look as Eli will allow. A protective charm... He'd love to know how exactly it works, but that's another one in the long catalogue of curiousity questions that McGillis is shelving away for a nebulous 'later'. ]
If there aren't downsides, all-the-better. Maybe I am just jaded, to have expected something that has an equally inconvenient trade-off for you.
[ He lets McGillis take a close look just fine. After a second of hesitation, he'll even pull it off and hand it over for easier inspection. Here, he doesn't have to worry. Here, it's safe to. ]
Yeah, you'd think there'd be more. The big thing is I have to take care of it and never take it off... back home, anyway. If it breaks, it won't work. If someone steals it, I'm fucked. We don't have a ton of supplies to make these since the tooth has to come from an actual wolf demon.
Both? They spread out far since they're more territorial than other demons, and if I sounded like I'd be scary when my powers aren't all suppressed, imagine that but worse and a lot bigger.
