Joscelin may be surprised when a kindred spirit runs into the clearing...not the least of which because he runs in on all fours.
Ken is in Wolf Channel right now, and glorying in it. He doesn't look much better than Joscelin himself does(although it's clear no one bothered to dress him nicely first); his entire front is sprayed with what is obviously drying blood, and it's smeared around his mouth except for the places where he's obviously licked or wiped it away, none too neatly. There's blood on his claws, too - which, like his fangs, are bigger than Joss may remember them being. Really, it's obvious that the two of them have been engaging in fairly similar activities, and probably having equivalent amounts of fun.
Not exactly similar, though. Ken had been attracted to the smell of blood and laughter, coming to investigate, and now that he's here he stops, watching Joscelin with undisguised curiosity. He's never seen somebody do that before...
That stirs some of his less essential memories, the kind of memories even shinki get to keep when they come to the heavens. Things like information they learned while they were alive, even if it may be shorn of context. Ken doesn't precisely remember the circumstances under which he learned this, but he definitely knows there's a word for people who drink blood.
"Are you a vampire or something?" he asks curiously.
Despite the crazed laughter, it hasn't occurred to Ken that Joss might not be entirely in his right mind at this exact second.
