((Whoops sorry!))
'I will.' Manse grinned, looking down at Bonnie who was now dozing contently in his lap. 'Do cats prefer wet food, dry food, or fresh food?' He curiously asked. He usually gave Bonnie wet food, and occasionally meat for her to sharpen her teeth on, but not too much as to upset her tummy.

Bloodrose"If you're getting an adult, it doesn't matter," Kai decided "Just make sure you don't give them a confusing diet." He had been about to add something to his comments, but a knock on his door interrupted him. Blinking once, a look of confusion swept over him before he got up, taking Juliet with him so she didn't just fall off. If it was anyone else categorized as dangerous he knew, Kai was going to be very annoyed, more than he already was. Khaa and Geraamte in a twenty four hour span was way too much for him, and anyone else who knew them. Still, with an almost apologetic look, he left Manse to go answer the door.

Manse nodded as Kai gave him advice, then frowned at the knock on the door. He watched his partner warily as he moved over to the door, nose twitching as he tried to catch the scent of whomever was behind it. He had concern in his eyes- he was still on guard with the alpha, and then Khaa and Geraamte.

Bloodrose (I was never gone ;_;) Kainder looked through the peep hole in the door, blue eye squinting. After seeing who it was, he flinched so hard it looked like he'd been hit with something. Finally did he open the door, and a guy walked in. Latino, thin, looked around his late fifties, but still had that "mess with me and I'll kick you in your nads" to him. Didn't even allow Kai to invite him in as he stepped inside, saying "So you're not hurt? It's surprising, since you seem to attract all the trouble to you. I was brought here because I'm tracking a wer-" The older male paused his rambling though, upon seeing Manse deeper into the apartment. Checking his words, he finished "Dog. Tracking my dog. And you know how he always seems to want to chase you around." Grabbing Kainder, the other male led Kai back out of the apartment, whisper-hissing something in what sounded like Spanish, and Kai shook his head frantically, answering in English "He's a friend of mine! No he's not dangerous! Stop assuming that with everyone!" The man asked something else with narrowed brown eyes, what he asked causing poor Kainder to rather red in the face, and he shook his head quickly again. Eventually, they both walked back into the apartment again. (So many peoples attracted to their location now X3)

(So many peoples attracted to their location now X3) Manse, with his intent hearing, didn't miss the fact that the male had been about to say 'werewolf'. He raised his hands to examine his claw-like nails whilst he patiently waited for the two to stop whispering like high-school girls outside, and looked up again as they re-entered, one eyebrow raised in question. He scooped Bonnie up as she was awake and snuffling around, and nuzzled her tummy lovingly, before setting her down on the floor to let her run around and pester Juliet with cute little yips. Manse sniffed, a nonchalant gesture as though clearing his nose, but it served to take in the scent of the new male. 'Who's this?' He asked, offering the male a friendly smile.

Bloodrose (That's some good Wight art x3) The newcomer stared at Manse, as if silently questioning why the younger male was talking to him. Kainder said after watching Juliet turn her back to Bonnie "This is Diego, a friend of my uncle's. Diego, this is Manse." The dark-skinned man sniffed at Manse, and scoffed "He smells like my dog's ass after I washed it." Of course he exaggerated, but that was Diego for you. Kai almost whined for him to stop, and Diego rolled his eyes. The dark man grumbled before saying to Manse "Somewhat nice to meet you. I'd punch your throat, but I can tell Kainder wouldn't like that." And then he offered a smile of his own, yet it was fake.

'And I'd bite yours, but I doubt it'd taste any good.' Manse said breathily, barely audible. He really could not help his word vomit sometimes: it just came out, and when you had been raised in a pack of angry psychopathic werewolves, old defensive habits died hard. He blushed slightly and focused his attention fully on Bonnie, hoping beyond belief that Diego didn't immediately click onto the fact that he was a werewolf. 'Awh, Bon, leave poor Juliet alone.' He scolded the puppy, pulling her away from the poor cat.

BloodroseJuliet finally relaxed and laid down where she was, just as Kai said to Manse "Um... sorry about Diego. All of my uncle's friends are... overprotective?" He ended it as a question, as if unsure that was the right term to use. Shaking his head a little, he listened as Diego spoke, the older man putting his hands in his large coat pockets "I think I'll stick around for a while. It smells of copper in here, plus I have someone coming to meet me in town. Need to get some more of these." At the last sentence, he pulled something out of his pocket. Small, somewhat cone-like, and that dreaded shiny color. Silver. Diego held the shiny object out to Manse before putting it back in his pocket with a dry smile. Kainder could only widen his blue eye a little, finding sudden interest in his prized cat, picking her up and hugging her close, finding her presence calming. Diego laughed for a second, then asked Kai "Have anything to drink? Water? Juice? A friggin beer?" He got up when Kainder just pointed to the kitchen, the newcomer leaving to go to the kitchen.

He got up when Kainder just pointed to the kitchen, the newcomer leaving to go to the kitchen. overprotective? More like a**holes. Manse thought to himself, finding the man very cocky and arrogant and not liking his attitude at all. What on earth kind of person threatened to punch a stranger they'd just met? Manse took a nervous step away and wrote it off as chasing Bonnie, but he had visibly flinched and now had his heart in his mouth. What was it with these people? Jeez! What was next? Were they going to start wearing silver rings so they could see on the first handshake if someone was a werewolf?? He scooped up the puppy to occupy his hands, tickling behind her ears, feeling very, very unsafe with Diego in the room. He now found himself really dreading meeting Kai's uncle if all of his relatives/friends of family were so rude and... angry, he supposed.

Bloodrose (*turns back to Rose so she can't see the Nutella*) "Acting nervous isn't helping!" Kai told Manse quietly, so Diego wouldn't hear. He'd followed to join Manse after the taller man had collected Bonnie. Kai had noticed Manse flinch, and pretty much go the opposite direction of Diego. Yeah, Bonnie had been over there, but still. Running a hand over his face, he pinched the bridge of his nose for a second before continuing "If he... knows, the best thing would be not to anger him. And yeah, that was him being 'nice' just now. Diego doesn't kill anything if it isn't on his hunt." Example, Diego wouldn't kill the white stag while he was hunting the brown one, unless the white stag tried to kill him or something. Kai gave Manse an apologetic look, murmuring "I didn't know he was still in town. Diego left not a week ago, and doesn't come back for a while. He's probably looking for your alpha-" He cut himself off when Diego returned, with a juice box in his hand. After taking a sip from the box, the older guy asked manse "So, where are you coming from, stranger? I've gotta ask, since you're new to Kainder's life, yes? Just saw him, lacking you, last week."

'I'm from a few states over, just finished my college degree and moved here; I work at a five star restaurant as a waiter.' Manse easily replied, the words smooth and pleasant as they rolled off of his tongue. 'The one a few blocks over from here?' He added, smiling at Diego, before sitting back down on the sofa to give off an air of ease around Kai- the author DID provide Manse with comfort, and he was quietly reminding himself that whilst Kai was around, he had a minor wall between himself and something trying to kill him. Yeesh.

BloodroseOnce everyone was settled down, Diego listened to Manse with narrowed eyes, as if expecting to find out something weird. Sadly, nothing odd was spoken, and he said "Everyone has their dirty little secrets. I do, Lao does. I bet Juliet does too." But all Juliet was doing was sleeping in Kai's hold, having been picked up. Diego took another drink from his juice box, then asked "Seen anything... strange lately, in this peaceful life of yours? I'll admit, I like a good story."

Manse gazed at him blankly. 'Sir, if my life has ever been peaceful, then you've just come in here stark naked and playing an accordion.' He looked away, irked at the mans words. 'I'm happy here. I've escaped a psychopathic, dysfunctional family and I've made it on my own despite growing up in an abusive environment.' He looked over at Diego and glared. 'I'm proud of where I am now, and I'm proud I've managed to grasp my own semblance of peace and success. So I'd appreciate it, sir, if you'd stop drilling me like I'm some kind of escaped prisoner.' He quietly hugged Bonnie to his chest, tickling under her chin and watching with vague satisfaction as her back leg began to kick happily. i hate self-righteous people like you. What's it to you what I'm hiding? It's not /you/ I'm getting involved with. he slid a soft and affectionate gaze towards Kai, then looked back down at his puppy. 'The last weird thing I saw was a clown who came for a meal in the restaurant whilst attempting to sell us half-drawn pictures and water balloons.' He shuddered, frowning at the very strange memory.
((Hiya snowy!!!))

Bloodrose (Heyo X3) "Don't tempt me," Diego said after draining his juice box "I can play a mean-ass accordion, you know." He and Kai listened as Manse had his little rant, none of them uttering a single peep. When finished, Diego merely tilted his head a little, and spoke "I'll treat you as I please, Manse. I've learned not to be buddies with everyone I meet. It's lost me too much. For all I know, you could kill me as soon as I turn away. Can't blame a man for being... suspicious of everything. I'm only human." Diego burned holes in Manse's skull as the younger man was silent in his thoughts, and glanced at Kai for a moment before that little border-collie. He listened patiently as Manse recalled the story about the odd clown, laughing a little. Imagining it, he shook his head with a smile, saying "If only I had such amusing sights to see. Last funny thing I saw was that dumb pug Kai's aunt had trying to play my PS4." Kai seemed to remember, because he couldn't hide a smile from appearing on him at the comment. Diego turned and tried to throw his juice box over to the trash can. Groaning when he missed, he said as he got up "Kainder, you seem to just draw all the abnormals to you, but I suppose this one isn't too much of a bad egg." Kai smiled still, correcting "Manse isn't a bad egg at all. You'd notice if you weren't so mean to every stranger you met." At that, the blonde looked back at Manse briefly with a warm smile before looking back at Diego, who had taken a moment of silence to think something over.

Manse winked at Kai, then felt a horrible shudder roll up his spine. no. Not here. Smiling pleasantly he stood and stretched, walking casually to the window and leaning out of it, examining the city scape. 'Where do you wanna go walk this evening then, bonbon?' He cooed, holding the collie in his arms as his eyes swiftly swept the streets. There. Red eyes glaring up at the building from an alleyway. will I never be rid of you, uncle? Manse angrily thought, his heart thudding in his chest. He watched the alpha slowly cross the street- human, for now- staring at him the entire time, heading towards the build- He checked his watch. 'Oh, sh**, look at the time!!! I'm late for work.' He ran inside and grabbed his things. 'Can you look after Bonnie, Kai, please?' He asked, rushing over and kissing Kai's cheek, before shaking Diego's hand rather vigorously. 'A pleasure to make your acquaintance sir, I hope you find the werewolf you're looking for.' He said, flashing him a grin, before he sprinted for the door and left. Seconds later he ducked his head back in. 'I finish at 8!' He added, before running off again. damnit, damnit, how do I divert him this time?

BloodroseKai merely blinked, only able to watch as Manse gave him Bonnie and kissed his cheek before leaving. Diego watched him leave calmly, unable to keep down another small laugh. Kai still had a slightly confused look. Glancing at his own clock, he noticed there had still been some free time left. And how Manse acted didn't soothe anything. All Kai could do was hope Manse would be fine, because something obviously spooked him. And how he suddenly saw fit in leaving. Probably another werewolf. Kai got up to go look out of the window, but nearly tripped on Geraamte, who had appeared again, bits of red swimming in his eyes. The author settled back down as Diego went to go look out of the window. The older man did nothing else though, muttering something in Spanish, yet it sounded angry. Turning away, he shook his head while saying "I don't need to deal with two filthy dogs. I'll wait until one of them dies." Kainder jumped a little, but said nothing. He could only wish that Manse outran whatever spooked him this time. (So, what now? Did you have a plan in mind? Just curious so I don't invoke a timeskip or anything)

BloodroseAfter the first day, he'd become worried. Kai sent Diego to look at the beginning of the second. It was the third day now, and Diego hadn't returned with anything yet. All Kai had to do was move about his apartment. Luckily, he'd taken some orders to keep himself busy. There was also Bonnie, Juliet and Geraamte to keep him company. Like Manse requested, he'd been petsitting the little border-collie. Currently, it was late morning, almost eleven, and Kainder was putting on order of candy together, keeping the pets and ghoul away from it. Yet, as he worked, Kai's thoughts were everywhere, worrying and sad. It would be bad, scary to see Manse come back in some horrible condition again, or if Diego had to bring a body back. Unable to work, he sat back, hands over his face as Juliet climbed into his lap and sat there.

Manse tiredly limped through an alleyway, haven finally made it back into the city after shaking off his uncle in another state. He'd led him into a bear trap in some woods and left him there; hopefully he'd either starve or some hunter would find him. He doubted it; the man was probably already free. The persistence with which his uncle chased him now was unbelievable, and he growled under his breath, leaning against a wall as he yanked up his left jean-leg, wincing at the painful bite wound. His uncle had clamped those ferocious jaws on him on the second day, and manse was too exhausted to heal for the moment. He dabbed at the blood with a handkerchief, ears perked and nose twitching forany scents or signs of danger as he worked on the wound, needing to staunch the scent.
((Feel free to have Diego find him maybe? Or should he go straight to Kai first?))

Bloodrose (I can have Diego find him) (Short post because I'm in a rush) "You look even more horrible," a voice spoke. That familiar Latino casually walked up to Manse. He had been following, and finally decided to come investigate. As he spoke, there was a gun in his hand. Some model of Colt, held casually at his side. After a moment, he continued "You have had a puppy and a half blind author rather worried." Diego would offer help, but he didn't have supplies or his phone on him. And explaining it to doctors? Didn't quite feel like it.

Manse looked up at Diego, a tired look in his eyes, a look that all scared animals eventually gained; an unwillingness to continue running. 'I know.' He mumbled, looking away and slowly straightening, hissing with pain as he leant on his leg. Why did Alpha bites hurt so much more than regular ones? He looked up at Diego, and couldn't believe the words that next came out of his mouth; 'ever killed an Alpha before?'

Bloodrose"No," Diego said, shaking his head "But I know someone who has." He knelt down beside Manse, as if to get a better look his wound. After standing back up, he questioned "Next place you're going is back to Kai's apartment. I've never seen anyone so worried. Getting you fixed can be discussed there." As well as considering help to kill an Alpha.
