[Dusty glances up at the sign above his head, and sighs. Well, it could be worse, it's not like he can't figure out a reason for the sign that isn't "I'm a werewolf and yes I mark my territory like a dog does sometimes" after all, it's just a matter of figuring out that reason.
But before he has a chance to hole up somewhere in a corner and figure the reason out, a teenage girl approaches him and asks about the sign. And whether it's because he gets jealous easily. Dusty lets out a little squeak and shakes his head.]
No! God, no, just it's um...okay. So. It has a perfectly rational explanation, I swear.
[For a long, long moment he's completely silent, and then his voice cracks a little when he continues speaking. Dusty has always been terrible at lying.]
Um, you know how a dog...like...marks its territory? By uh, by peeing? I've...I may have done that. At some point. In the past.

[Oh god, this is humiliating.]
