3 - Knowing


After their little tussle in the woods, Monroe had explained to Harry about himself, about Wesen in general, about some in particular - and about the Grimm.

And Harry had listened, silently comparing the magic of this world to his own. Monroe would be the werewolf of this world – with the strength, sense of smell and animal instincts of a wolf but the mind of a man. From what Harry could tell, the Blutbaden didn't really 'lose themselves' to the wolf at any given time but it was a struggle – the instincts were always there, underneath the surface.

The fact that this man both fought and accepted them; used and denied them depending on which instincts they were – that was something that Harry could never fully understand.

But he could respect it.

So he nodded in all the right places, asked a few questions of his own, making sure that he understood these Wesen and the rules of this new world he had ended up in - 'so you keep yourselves a secret from the 'normal people', but you can show yourself to them if you want to?' - as he amicably let the man lead them back to civilization.
