Jeremiah 20:9-But if I say, "I will not mention him or speak any more in his name," his word is in my heart like a fire, a fire shut up in my bones. I am weary of holding it in; indeed, I cannot.
Brokan walks silently for a few moments and then speaks again. "That is very convenient for you. They don't ask, you don't tell. Only, no one has cause to ask until you are already ripping your armor off and telling them to run for their lives. If that is how it must be, then you have forced me to ask. Who are you?"
"I'm a lycanthrope, a werewolf." Kratimos began explaining, "Have been for many years now. I -- Kratimos pauses -- usually have it under better control, but I suppose I lost count of the days in the underdark.
Look, I see your point about my lycanthropy being pertinent information for the group, but in my experience, I found that telling people invited more disaster. You can bring it up to the party if you wish; I will not tell you what to do one way or another, but it goes the same for the other way around."
((Fathom, is there a roll I can do to see how many full moons are left, or how long till the next full moon?))
Brokan stops, massages his temple, and then starts walking again. He never makes eye contact with Kratimos. "I see. You know our party cannot survive unless we all know what to expect. I have to tell them. But anyone who tries to harm you because of your deviant sickness will have to go through me, I swear."
The moon climbs high into the sky. A fire is built and food is eaten. Shortly after, watch begins. Around second watch, almost third watch, Brokan and Kratimos finally find their way to camp. The night was difficult to navigate through, though they were successful in doing so.
((EDIT: Please make known what your character is doing. between 2nd and 3rd watch, I believe that's around 1 or 2 am if I'm not mistaken. Correct me if I'm wrong.))

Kratimos was tired; it's been a long and trying evening, all things considered. He nodded wearily and managed to get a couple words of "hello" and "good night" to the group, before pulling out his bedroll and setting it up at the edge of camp. As he lied down, his tired joints relaxed and let loose and he closed his eyes. Sleep didn't come to him yet, as he kept his ear alert for any relevant talk.
Kratimos waited a little to answer hoping Brokan would answer, but decided to postpone his sleep.
"Out and about," Kratimos didn't get up or even open his eyes. "Oh, you might want to keep an eye out for crazed goblins. A group of them were performing a dark ritual of sorts. Might be dangerous."
Livia, being on second watch, was ready to wake the others when she saw them come up to the camp, not sure if it was them or not. "I was beginning to worry you two got yourselves into some trouble. I am glad to see you are safe. She settles back down to finish her watch, hoping that Crimson is well rested for hers.
Kratimos shifted restlessly. He cracked open an eye and looked at Brokan and groaned.
"Oh, and I'm a werewolf." Kratimos said non-chalantly, and rolled over.
Waking to the sounds of his comrades' return, Guy listens until the conversation dies down, not finding Kratimos' joke at the end at all amusing, and goes back to sleep.
