"Calm it Lorabelle if he tipped them off he'd already be dead," Simon retorted rather cooly, straightening his back as she came over, a small curl to his lip. Most blue-bloods he didn't have much of a problem with as long as they stayed out of trouble, but that comment grated him. "They where asking about werewolves, and if they could meet any here," He added carefully, entire body tense as if he expected the hunters to come after them right at this moment. "We told them that was just an old town rumor, nothing more."

"I'm glad you'd have it under control." Lorabelle replied to his retort. His too-calm manner annoyed her somewhat, but she rather be annoyed and an ally than mad and enemies. "Alright, thanks for the info. Some of my friends and I will be dining tonight, just a heads up. We'll be careful though." Lorabelle told them. She turned to go before adding one more thing, "I'm pretty sure hunters can pick up on tension and other little quirks. You might want to go for a run to loosen up or something." She then walked away from the booth and out the parlor, opening her parasol and began down the sidewalk. It wasn't as though she weren't tense either. Now that the hunters were confirmed, she'd seriously have to careful, especially while feeding. -- Corbin looked at Simon once Lorabelle had gone. "She's kind of annoying, are all va- er.. of them like that?" He asked, but he was only half-interested. He did want to ask what Simon's pack was like before making any harsh decisions on this place, but he didn't really want to be in the same room as hunters while talking to Simon, whatever his thoughts on them may be.

Simon gave a short nod at the information, before his features turning into a scowl at her last comment, muttering something under his breath about her being entitled. He shifted his blue gaze over to Corbin, annoyance lifting slightly after she left. "Not all of the rich people in town are that annoying, no. She's just entitled and a bit stuck up, but what can you do about that?" He asked, shaking his head in exasperation, slipping back into a more relaxed persona. Mood shifting, it seemed like he was done attempting to intimidate the loner, feeling as if he'd follow the rules closely enough.

"That depends, how was your old family?" He asked, looking a little nervous as he finished his slice of pizza. He stood up, before plastering on a cheeky grin, putting on a show for the hunters. "Y'know, thats usually not something you ask on a first date," He continued before flicking his eyes towards the entrance. If they wanted to speak they'd have to go to a place that they could do so freely. Part of him wanted to go to the woods, but he was well aware of the temptation that was in there, making him want to run freely when he couldn't, not during the day time.

"Well, they helped eachother out and kept away those who posed a threat, like any other pack would do, but they were only nice to you if you were useful to them. They would go into the nearby city and stir up all kinds of trouble. Sometimes, the alpha and some others would bring humans to the pack. They'd treat them nice for about a week, get what they can from them, then kill the humans to see their reactions. Then, inside the pack itself, they would use eachother, make eachother feel like friends, be all nice, and, before you knew it, they'd take your kill, steal your mate or anything else they might want. It's just how the pack was -and the Alpha allowed all of this. The Alpha would even kill or drive out members of the pack that weren't useful or loyal. The pack didn't really care about eachother for the most part, sure, they pretended to be like a family, but when push comes to shove, they couldn't care less about you. My pack had to leave the territory a few months back, we were all fighting together to protect it, but one day, they just left. That was a little under a month ago, I was on a night hunt, got distracted and by the time I got back, they'd already left. Didn't even leave a note and I wasn't even the Omega. I mean, it wasn't all bad. Back in the pack, we'd tease eachother and act like brothers at times and it was fun, being reckless and carefree, but that didn't dismiss all the other things that went on." Corbin explained in a hushed voice so only Simon could hear him as they talked, moving down the street.

Simon blinked, surprised at the description of his former pack, feeling a pang when he spoke of being left behind. He slipped his hands into his pockets, listening to the story quietly, kicking a smooth stone as they walked. He walked slightly a head of him so he could lead the two, head tipped to one side so he could listen. He let out a low whistle when he finished, shaking his head slightly, surprised at how weak the alpha seemed to be. "Wow. Well, I can tell you things are run a bit differently here, that's for sure," he responded with a soft sigh. Even as wolves they kept themselves controlled, kept themselves genuinely close. Everyone in the pack was like family to him and he to them. They didn't abandon him when he lost his leg, in fact they worked with him when the incident happened and he quickly became a strong member of the pack again, able to fight just as well as everyone else.They argued all the time, of course, fights broke out constantly but they were all brothers and sisters and when push came to shove they all stuck together.

(Wooooo sorry, crazy day, and I just got on XD)
Rory walked hurriedly down the street and turned down an alleyway, just as her phone started vibrating. Taking deep breaths, she slid the unlock button and held the phone to her ear. "Mom?" she murmured, her hands shaking. "Rory? Are you safe?" her mother asked, clearly concerned. "For the moment. Listen, can you or Dad come get me?" she asked, glancing around as she talked, trying not to looked too panicked. There was a pause on the other line, and Rory furrowed her brows. "Mom?" "Yeah, no, I'm still here, love. Um...look, your father and I actually left about an hour ago. One of the businesses in Alamosa was just robbed, and they need us there." "What?!" Rory gasped. "B-but Alamosa's two hours away!" "Honey, I know. So, text Simon and tell him you need a place to stay. The pack will look out for you; they always have before." Rory took a deep breath. "Okay, Mom. I love you." "I love you, too. We'll be home as soon as we can." Rory hung up and texted Simon quickly, letting him know of her situation, before heading back out on the sidewalk.

"Even if thing's are run differently here, who's to say that someone won't hurt you? I haven't been lone very long, but it's sure got it's perks. You can't rely on anyone, only your own strength, you can act how you want, do what you want and you've got no responsibilities. No one to betray you then, even if it is lonely." Corbin spoke again after Simon's comment. "So, what about yours? Seeing as you haven't left it yet, I'm guessing it's not all that bad." He prompted.

An odd look flitted across his face at Corbins comment on someone hurting him, but he quickly replaced it with a neutral look, interested that he seemed to prefer the life of a loner over the life in a pack. Clearly his old pack had a negative impact on him, it seemed that a life alone seemed to be preferred and it was beyond Simons ability to comprehend that. He blinked at the question, a small smile on his face. "Well, we're like a family I guess. A huge, dysfunctional possibly abusive family, in the best way possible. To outsiders they aren't the friendliest people, we help keep things in order with the other non-humans so we can't always be the nicest, but most of the guys are pretty awesome when you get to know them. We've been here since the town was founded, some of the families within the pack are that old, others where bitten in but," He gave a shrug, not explaining more. "I mean, there's annoying stuff about the pack, too, like curfews and not having serious relationships with humans and stuff, some backbiting when the new alpha came but overall we stick together, even when accidents happen," He explained, his mind wandering back to the crazy year when the new alpha came into power and he got sick and hurt and how half of the pack left. He paused, his phone vibrating and seeing that it was Ress. He quickly texted her the street they where on so she could meet up with them, then texted Phillip to let them know she was staying.

Rory looked down at her phone as Simon responded. She glanced up at a street sign and turned left to cross the street. A car whizzed by and she jumped back, preparing to throw up a middle finger when she got a glimpse of the passenger in the right back seat. It was just a moment's glance as the car roared away, but she clearly saw the shotgun in his lap. Keeping her head down, she crossed the street, letting her shoulders slump and walking slowly. To a passing glance, she looked like any normal teenager, walking back home. She kept periodically checking her phone; she'd sent a text to the only other shifter in town, who was on vacation with his family. She warned him to stay out of town until the threat passed. She turned another corner and spotted Corbin and Simon and hurried over to them. "Hey," she murmured breathlessly. "Thanks so much, Simon. This couldn't have happened at a worse time, but at least I know they're safe." Her parents were one of, if not the only, humans in town who knew that supernaturals existed, and raising one as their own put them in even greater danger when hunters came to town.

"I guess that keeps order and everything and it's good that you keep outsiders in check, but, seriously, a curfew? I know I'm not one to judge, but that's really not cool." Corbin jumped in right as Simon finished speaking. "Who gives a wolf a curfew? That's almost as bad as being caged. Wait... does that mean you're not allowed to take a run during the middle of the night?" He stopped at this thought, looking Simon with all seriousness. "Dude, you're not a werewolf unless you've run under the full moon. Cliché, I know, but it's honestly awesome." Corbin could not believe that. He knew he was making a huge deal about a seemingly tiny detail, but it was cruel not to be free. He couldn't fathom how Simon just... just brushed it off so easily! It was like he didn't think anything of it! Corbin looked over as Rory ran over and joined them. He sniffed her for a minute, taking in her scent and memorizing it as an ally before bluntly saying, "Are you his girlfriend or something?"

(Oooh spidey movies are awesome but I haven't watched them in awhile)
"No- we can run at night it's just in the mornings and day we can't and in the early morning we have to have an adult with us, it's only a temporary thing because stuff started getting out of hand last year with a few loners. A bunch in our pack got hurt because of it." he explained before offering a friendly grin at Ress, knowing how anxious she was in general. He viewed the girl like a sister, and even though she wasn't a wolf he and the rest of the pack were protective over her. "You know your always welcome to stay with the pack-Phillip said so himself," he told her gently before hearing Corbin's comment. The dark haired werewolf let out a laugh, covering it with a cough. "Who- me an Ress? No, we're practically siblings," he responded lightly. Not to mention that Simon wasn't exactly into a lot of girls, but he didn't bring that part up. (If you aren't okay with that I can change it ^^.)

Rory half smiled and looked up at Corbin. "My real parents were killed when I was a baby. Hunters raided the house and killed them. The pack showed up in time to save me. At the time, my parents now had a bunch of businesses in town, and they knew the Alpha at the time, and vice versa. They offered to raise me so the pack wouldn't have to be put more at risk." She looked back at Simon, a solemn look on her face. "My species is almost extinct. There aren't many of us left. The world gets pretty lonely when you're an endangered species. The wolves make me feel...less so."

Rory nodded. "Yeah, I mean, I don't remember any of it. Simon's always been there. He helped me with schoolwork and adjusting to...shifting. We have that in common." She caught his arm when he tripped and looked at him in concern. She didn't say a word, not wanting to embarrass him. She looked back to Corbin. "Those hunters at the diner, did they say anything else?"

The curly haired boy flashed Ress a thankful look, happy she didn't say anything about it but glad for the catch. She had been there for him during the time right after the Incident, and when he was recovering so she out of all people knew what it meant to him to keep his problems quiet. Simon nodded as if in confirmation as to what Corbin said, before turning to Ress again, allowing her to take over in the conversing. He whipped out his phone, texting the alpha and letting him know about the new loner, and that he seemed rather friendly. He'd most likely be bringing him back to the pack house for introductions if he wished. It didn't take long for Phillip to text back a quick "okay," knowing that he was at his job right now as an architect so couldn't as any questions. He turned left, so they where walking in the nature park. He felt the tug to change, to run through the forest, glancing up at the sun, which was slowly beginning to set. Soon he'd be able to do so, but for now he had to remain human.

"It's exactly what it sounds like. I can become different animals at will. Although it's a bit more complicated then that. Like I can't just become whatever I want, it takes practice. It used to happen on accident. As of right now, I can become a rabbit, a terrier, a cat, a mouse, an owl, and...a wolf. It was the first one I learned. I think some of it has to do with watching and seeing different animals, but it's not very well known, even by adults of our kind." She shrugged and kept walking.

Corbin to her response, nodding his head in reply as he took in the scenery and, as they turned the corner into Nature Park, he took in the trees, the grass, the scent of nature mingled in with humanity. Unlike the forest that surrounded the town, he could tell the park was an often-visit for locals, but, nevertheless, he wanted run. His eyes turned a deep amber, longing to dash out into the park and toward the forest. It would be so easy.

Rory could tell both of them wanted to run. She wasn't as drawn to the openness as they are, but she did enjoy running with Simon. It was exhilarating to get her energy out and it did help with the constant anxiety that plagued her. "D'ya think Phillip will let us run tonight?" she asked Simon, tilting her head slightly.
