So it wasn't as if she hadn't hadn't time to process that... and her father had hidden what he was from her for... her whole life. They were just fact she had to get use to... along with being a werewolf. Perhaps she hadn't processed everything, but Cassie knew that friends and family... it didn't matter what you were, they were what made everything worth while. So as Sebastian spoke, Cassie let him get out all his fears and worries, what was obviously building up within him, that he needed to get out. She didn't think it would be the only speech like that that she listened to, and she made sure to listen to him closely. She reached out to take his hand and give it a squeeze, when he had finished. She didn't have all the same experiences that Sebastian did-she truly couldn't understand what it would be to hide part of what you were, of who you were. To hide from love? It wasn't something she had ever considered. She'd been raised to accept anyone, to be open minded... so maybe she couldn't blame all her... nudging of people all on Miranda. It was just who she was. Sebastian had had two immense secrets, and had been carrying both of them around his whole life. The fact he'd realeased one was a huge accomplishment, and a testament to his character. Having the other revealed unwillingly... and to still be worried about what they thought about him? Her heart went out to him. [color=lightcoral]"oh, Sebby... that doesn't matter... you're still the same person you were yesterday, and... so are we. I'm not going to judge you for hiding something that is... well, massive. It's what we are all going to have to do now... the only thing that has changed is that now you don't have to hide it all alone, you have us"[/color] She said, keeping his gaze, her voice sincere, not sure she was even choosing the right words, but knowing that she couldn't not say anything. She gave him a smile, glancing at the others in the room, and then back to Sebastian. [color=lightcoral]"we aren't going to hurt you, we are still your friends, and we always will be. How can we not be, after everything we've been through?"[/color] she said, her smile soft, kind and full of compassion. [color=lightcoral]"Sebastian, we don't need to be of the same species to know we have always been... a pack. And it doesn't matter what we are now, we've always been a group, and so the word changes now, but it's just a word, it doesn't change the meaning, the fact that from the first moment we were all together, we were... family. And family accepts one another, no matter what. So... that's all there is to it"[/color]
