I'd be a real bastard if the way you look changed how I feel about you. You're my Adrian. Sometimes you're a bat or a wolf, sometimes you have fangs and claws, sometimes you put your hair up, sometimes you wear it down...but that's all you. It's all still just...you.

[He winds a fistful of fur around his fingers, tugging lightly in a gently playful way.]

I'd take you on a date right now, if you thought you were up for it.
