[ Not long after getting to the Welcome Diner and gathering his thoughts, he flips on the device to begin what will surely be one of the hardest things he's ever had to do. He hasn't bothered to clean himself up much but, with Daniel's help, he probably doesn't look like a serial killer anymore. Still, it's obvious the man has been through hell. ]
My name is Ethan Chandler. I-- [ He swallows, then begins again. ]
Last night, something wicked prowled through the streets and attacked several residents. It was me. I don't look as I did last evening and, despite what I said, I can't recall who I encountered or what events took place. I change, you see, when the moon is full. I can't control myself; God knows I've tried.
[ He lets out a sharp exhale, grimacing when it aggravates some of his injuries, but powers through. ]
Ever since my arrival, I've done what I could to make sure I couldn't hurt anyone, taken precautionary measures to restrain myself so this wouldn't happen. But it did. Something happened last night, and I made a mistake that put people here in harm's way. The blame rests entirely upon my shoulders and mine alone.
I'm not deserving of your forgiveness, but I'll ask for it. If you encountered the wolf last evening, please, reach out to me here. The phones are impersonal and I would prefer to extend my apology in person, to look you in the eye when I give it.
[ Now, to another pressing matter: ]
Mr. Gray and Miss Ives were present before and after what happened. I can't contact either one of them. I've tried.

[ Hob had been out of the soldiering business for a long time by then, though he went back to it again during the 20th century.
Hearing that Ethan has already reached out to those who would be concerned does seem to ease Hob's apprehension. Perhaps Dream is already aware, then. And since Ethan is not asleep, suffering some endless torment, things must have gone well enough. ]
That's a good idea. If there's anything I can do to help, you need only ask.
[ Though Hob is not really fit to do much of anything until he recovers. ]

[ He'll conveniently forget to mention that he killed his commanding officer for boasting about them nearly wiping out an entire Apache tribe and then deserted. A story for another day, maybe. ]
I do have a request. When you're feeling up to it, I'd like to meet up with you. It won't change what I've done but when I ask for forgiveness, I'd rather be able to look someone in the eye.
[ A video call is not what he had in mind. ]
no subject
If you insist. You can stop by my flat any time. Dream might be here.
[ Just in case Ethan is worried about that at all, Hob mentions it and sends along his address. ]
no subject
I do. I don't want to aggravate your wounds any further. When you're able, I'll come to see you.
[ Dream? It doesn't take long for him to put two and two together. Was that some kind of nickname between friends? .. oh, fuck. ]
That will save me another trip, then.

[ If Dream encountered the werewolf, Hob was not aware. Dream certainly didn't seem injured, which would be highly unusual. ]
no subject
[ Granted, that was just in regard to Vanessa, but he did ask him for his help. ]
He was also the first person I asked for help to find her. His name was one of the first that Miss Ives gave to me when I arrived.
no subject
[ At least as far as Hob is concerned, and it sounds as though Ethan and Dream are working together to search for Vanessa. ]
Stop by when you're ready.
[ Hob sends along his address in a text. ]
no subject
I will. Thank you, Mr. Ga-- Hob. [ He'll certainly be thanking him for his mercy and keeping Loki from killing him outright during their visit. ]
no subject
When Ethan uses his more casual name, Hob smiles. ]
I'll look forward to seeing you.
