No matter what the circumstances, no supernatural creature seems to have things easy. Even witches, that can be mostly family oriented, struggle with situations where parents are killed, or in the case of the French Quarter witches, can give too easily into tradition. They've all had to work together to make their lives better, and she never wants a child to feel as alone as she or Tyler did when they first turned, or like Bonnie, who felt like they had the weight of the world on her shoulders, and no one to help teach her how to carry it.

Still, she lets the particulars of werewolf genetics fall to the side for a moment when Dylan addresses a specific student in the room. "That's Rafael Waithe. He's new, both to the school and to being a werewolf. He had his first full moon just last month. He was also in the foster care before this, so we anticipated he would be a little slow to warm up, but he's making good progress so far." The true adjustment had been being separated from his best friend, but they're adjusting to the compromises there, slowly but surely.

Rafael looks up at the sound of his name, supernatural hearing and whatnot, and he turns towards where Caroline is speaking. She gives him a small wave, which he returns, but he doesn't move from his spot on the bleachers, just eyeing the unknown adult next to her and listening to where the conversation goes from there.

If the other wolves notice Dylan, they don't seem to care, too engrossed in their game.
