[ I've got Caylee open, she's a healer's apprentice, and I've got Cassidy open, she's a normal. I also have the twins, they're pups, and they're three years old. ]

[ yeah boi ] [ i formally apologize for that reference, and all meme references i will ever make in this thread. ]
Cassidy blinked awake on the couch. She hadn't meant to fall asleep, but she had been tired. Convincing the boys it was a good idea to pack up and head to the Safehouse for a while had not been easy, nor had getting all their stuff together. Almost-Three year olds did not have the best understanding of 'this is how to stay safe', and she didn't want to scare them, but after a while, they'd gotten the picture.
Tommy, who had been oddly quiet, and maybe a little put off, was curled against her side, snoring. With a smile, she sliped out from beside him and managed to lie him down. Gale was on the other end of the couch, lying against Caylee, and Cassidy wished she had a camera to capture this moment.
To distract her, though, her stomach rumbled, and she just then realized how hungry she was. Are there any groceries around here? Should we try to make a trip to the store? Or wait for more people to bring back prey?

Cassidy poked around for a little bit before running into Jess. "Hey," she greeted, voice soft and still a little husky from sleep. "I was looking around for some food, I didn't really think to grab anything besides a few snacks before I got the boys here, and they're going to be hungry when they wake up. I was wondering if a trip to the grocery store might be worth the risk, what do you think?"

Cassidy nodded, a small smile curling on her lips. "Do you think we could swing it with just us, or do we need more help?" She asked. "My sister's here, but I was going to ask her to watch the boys, unless we bring them all with us..."

"It is what it is," Cameron replied. "I miss them, but that's life. Besides, this pack is my family now. It took us a while to fit in, and sometimes I still feel a little out of place, but you guys took us in. We had money, more than enough to buy a house, but we needed a home, and you guys gave us that. I'm grateful, really."
With a little huff, he hefted the deer a little further up his back so it was balanced more on his shoulders, and tightened his grip around it.

"You're probably right," she said. "I mean, the boys love the forest and all. I mean, they're werewolves, for God's sake, but they're also used to civilization. Still, it'll be nice to spend so much time with the pack, at least for a while. We'll see how everyone feels after a couple of days."
She glanced back down the hall that she came from, to where the boys and their aunt were. "My car is stashed about two miles away in some bushes for cover. It's a little bit of a hike, but I didn't want it to be too close to the safehouse. I had to bring the boys here in it, because I couldn't run and carry them safely all the way from our house. I was meaning to take it back after we got here, but I totally took a nap. Now, at least, we can take it for groceries first."

Then, we can probably be there, and get back to the Safehouse by dusk." (I'm just assuming it's morning in the RP here, LOL.)

Cameron shrugged, watching as the safehouse appeared in the distance, and moved the deer so it was slung over one shoulder instead of two. "I know," he said, with a shrug. "But still. It was the hardest time in our lives. Caylee was still waking up, screaming, because of nightmares. Cassidy was grieving, and was often times hard, and closed-off, and you still took us in."

"Perfect," she agreed. "I'll go wake the boys up."
Padding back into the living room, she woke Caylee first and then her sons, lifting Thomas into her arms as she explained. By the time she was done, Caylee was up and holding Gale.
Cassidy went and peeked her head back into the room Jess was sitting in. "We're ready," she said.

"Alright, my car is north," Cassidy says, heading towards the door and pausing, waiting for Caylee and Jess to follow her out. Tommy mumbled something against her shirt, nuzzling further into her, while Gale yawned, both of them still waking up.

"You're right," Cameron replied, nodding his head as he also turned his head to avoid making eye contact with Griffin. Despite being grateful, he was little embarrassed, and he ignored the warmth in his cheeks. "But I really am grateful for you. For my whole family, but Cassidy and the boys especially. They're- they're never going to remember their father, and Cassidy has been grieving him for two years, and no matter whether or not she meets someone else, she's always going to miss him. But you guys have provided us with stability that we could have never given the twins on our own."

I added ANOTHER babe (because I love him and have a habit of overloading myself with characters but hey he's cute so why not amiright ladies) go check him tf out ;) OKAY also bc we only have like four active members rn Y'ALL CAN HAVE UP TO 3 IMPORTANT SPOTS AND AS MANY HUNTERS AND MENTORS AS YOU LIKE!!!!!!! WOOOO YEAH :) (I kinda did that so Hosa could be a healer because it's what he deserves but who cares right) If you have a Beta or Alpha you can only have two important roles though (eg healer, beta, alpha, uh that's pretty much it now) but YEAH IF YOU'RE READING THIS AND WANT ME TO BUMP YOUR CHARRIES UP A RANK HMU okay I was waaaaaaaay too hyped about that)
Griffin wasn't sure what to say, so he let the conversation drift into an only mildly uncomfortable silence. After a while, he cleared his throat, cheeks tinted red; usually Griffin came across as hard and tough, and showing his softer side was often embarrassing for him, even if there was no need for it. "Reckon this'll give you a leg up on your competition?" He asked, referring to how Cameron mentioned earlier that he and Cassidy were in a competition as to who could catch the most prey.

[ yeAH BOI can Cameron be a hunter???? ]
"Oh, definitely," he replied, and a smug sort of grin curled his lips up. "I mean, I love my sister, and she's very capable and such, but now that we're all gathered in the safehouse together, I've got a feeling I'm going on plenty of hunting excursions. She's toast."

[ I don't know but I LOVE IT. ]
"I mean, she's good," he said with a shrug. "We do, after all, have the same blood, and we had the same teacher. She might've been a hunter, but she decided not to so she could spend more time with the boys. We all pitch in, but I think sometimes she feels bad that Caylee and I do so much. I think it makes her feel like she isn't doing enough as a parent, or that she isn't strong enough to do it alone."
[ well, I've only got my three kids. Cassidy is still doing some grieving, and Caylee is 17 :| ]

[ you may be right ]
"She'd make a good beta," he mused, with a hum. "I mean, one of us was always supposed to be an Alpha, and I know I wanted it, but I always kind of thought it would be her. It's not quite the same, but she's always been good for standing up for people, and being a leader."
[ we are, lmao. and I definitely forgot Caylee was gay, because there's a version of Caylee that's straight, but her name is Heather, and she only exists if Cameron and Cassidy have a younger brother named Hunter. The Andrews family is just complicated, man. ]

Cameron let his deer fall on top of the one Griffin brought, and sighed. "I hope so," he admitted. "She's thrown everything into being a single parent, and once the boys grow up, and I'm afraid she won't know what to do with herself after they don't need so much attention anymore.
[ it's mostly just the fact that I've carried the Andrews family with me for years and through several role-plays, and I've tinkered with them so that they can fit it any role-play. ]
