"Hangout spot? Are you serious right now?" Kai just rolled his eyes at this then sobered back up before realizing she didn't notice. "I don't hangout here. I live here." He said as he turned back around and went down the rest of the way to a room that had nothing but a newspaper bed, an old torn up blanket and a bag filled with stuffing as well as a hoodie hung on a pipe. "That answer your questions?" He muttered as he turned to face her.

"Ask more questions if you want....I really have no one to talk to as I don't trust anyone." Kai sat on the newspaper bed waiting for more questions to come. "Well don't be shy. I don't bite." He said this and after thinking For more reasons than one... He was watching her expression. Why was this girl walking on her own? She didn't seem like a street kid so there had to be a reason.

"Well in this exact location...about four and a half years now." Kai began as he watched her expressions. "All together being homeless...about seven years so since I was nine I've been homeless." He told her as he remained sitting on the floor. "Ask more if you want. I'll tell you if I don't wanna answer the question after you ask but ask more if you want."

"Who am I? What a classic line." Kai replied as he looked down for a moment. "Not who I used to be but I guess you just want a name? I'm Kai. And before you ask more questions I'd like to know yours." He ignored her apology. She had no reason to it just happened so he just ignored it.

"Nice to meet me? That's a first. People usually tell me to go die or just to leave them alone." Kai was kinda in shock she said it was nice to meet. Usually he'd kept his distance from interacting with people because of being told that stuff but this felt good to hear. "Not gonna ask anything more?"

"That isn't the reason. The reason I said that is much more complicated......" Kai began before cutting himself off before he revealed too much of what exactly he meant. He laid down on the makeshift bed then looked at her. "It's a lot more complicated...."

((I'll do it.))
Kurt had retired early, so he likewise woke up early, shortly after 6. After a humble breakfast, he pulled out the letters again. His hope was to finish them before his first physical therapy session which he had been told would be at 11. He had also been told not to expect too many, just enough to teach him some exercises that he could continue on his own.
The man nodded. "All right, then please take a seat in the van," and here he gestured to the open back door of one of the vehicles. "We will depart shortly."
Möer spread his wings and took off easily, passing Christoph but looking behind him to make sure the boy followed.

"Si." He replied. "Cuánto de la ciudad has visto?"

"Sólo un poco," Remus admitted. "Llegué hace dos semanas. Pero usted conoce la ciudad bien, ¿sí?" Perhaps this man could show him around.

Olivia nodded. "I won't make you explain," she assured him. "I'm sure you have a good reason to want to have been left alone. After all, you can't really trust anyone nowadays."
Boris was awake at six as well. With years of strict routine ingrained into him, the man hardly ever slept in, even if he couldn't get up to do anything. He ate his breakfast without complaint and took the medicine he was assigned for him. Once done, he glanced over to Kurt. "I see you've found something to keep you busy," he commented.
Nichole hesitated. There was nothing else she could do. She wanted to talk with Donald, wanted to know what they were going to do, but he was still busy. Slowly, she nodded to the WK man before climbing into the van to wait.
Christoph followed his grandfather through the trees, trying to keep up with him as best as he could.

"It's not that I don't trust anyone. Well not just that. I'm different......" Kai said as he closed his eyes tear forming then rolling down his face. He sighed then looked at her. "Look. It isn't dangerous to be around me myself. It's what would happen if you were actually in contact with me."

Kurt flinched inwardly at the attempt at interaction. So this was going to become a regular thing, then? "Yes," he murmured noncommittally, picking out the letter addressed to Sara.
After several minutes, Anja climbed into the van, followed immediately by her father, who held her close and didn't look at Nichole beyond glancing at her to note her presence. Presently a WK officer closed the doors, and he and one other climbed into the front seats. The engine rumbled to life and the driver navigated his way out of the car park followed by the other van, leaving Daniel's Toyota sitting in the middle of the asphalt.
On they flew, until Christoph indicated that he was getting tired, at which point they returned to land and walked as humans for a time. It was a long journey they had ahead of them, and when it was beginning to grow dark, Möer was waiting for the boy to comment on it.

(I had a reply written out last night. Why did I not post it?)
Olivia made a small hand gesture, as if drawing attention to the room they were in. "Well, I'm in contact with you, and nothing bad has happened yet," she pointed out. "Of course, I'm not going to seek out what kind of danger you might be talking about, but I do think you're being a bit hard on yourself."
"I'm surprised they're letting you write letters," Boris commented, assuming that was what he was doing. "Most people they bring in from the WK don't have that luxury." The words weren't said out of spite, but of curiosity. He had seen many prisoners of war being brought into the base during his years of service. Not many were given much to do, let alone send letters. He doubted that rules have changed.
It stung as Donald and Ava climbed into the van without noticing her. Nichole watched as they sat apart from her, not trying to make conversation or tell her what was going on. Tears threatened to form in her eyes, but Nichole did her best to blink them away. This was kind of her fault, but did she really deserve to be ignored like this? The air in the van suddenly seemed a lot colder, and the girl wished she had been given something more to wear than just her bather suit.
By the time the sun started to set, Christoph was starting to become exhausted. He had never walked for so long in his life. There was still no sign of their destination, wherever that may be, and his grandfather gave no indication that they were close. This only made the ache in his legs worse. "How much further do we have to walk?" the boy asked, stepping over a fallen branch that was in their path.

"Sí. Muy bien. como la palma de mi mano." He replied with a smile. "Podría mostrarle alrededor si usted quisiera?"

Kai just sighed realizing the only way he could scare her off was to tell her. "I-It's not about myself in general.....it's....I'm a shifter." He finally said as he turn away from her quickly knowing she would be shocked and wanna leave or at least that's what he's expecting.

Kai blinked as she said that normally if he said that to someone they would drug him and send him to the RK or WK. "You aren't scared?" He asked as he felt strange not being told that he was evil for being something he had no control of. "Why?" Is all he could say after.

"It's the fact of what I know the RK and WK to do to people who are in contact with shifters....." Kai said as he just sighed. "I'd rather not get anyone hurt ever again...." He said in Japanese as a tear fell from his face when he sat up.

"The RK killed my parents and the WK tried to kidnap me. I think both of them are equally evil." Kai said as he stood up. It seemed his eyes changed color as he looked at her. "I feel that both organizations need taken down and I am not the only one. A lot of shifters agree with this because of the evils both groups have done."

A few of Lucas' words threw Remus off, but he though he got the gist of what the other man was saying. "Sí," he said, nodding. "Muchos gracias."

((Article 71 of the Geneva Convention relative to the Treatment of Prisoners of War, established in 1864: "Prisoners of war shall be allowed to send and receive letters and cards."))
Shortly after they started moving the officer in the front seat pulled out a shock blanket and turned in his seat, offering it to Nichole. "You can have this for now," he said. "We'll get you some proper clothes when we arrive."
Anja, seated next to Nichole, looked up at her, seeing how miserable she looked and wanting to say something. At the movement her father held her closer, though he said nothing to forbid her from making contact. But the girl could think of nothing to say herself. Finally she said softly, "It's not your fault, it's mine. And it's gonna be okay, don't worry. The WhiteKingdom have helped us before and they'll do it again."
Möer stopped abruptly. "It may be time to stop for the night. Let us begin looking around for a safe place to sleep." Like most shifters, he greatly preferred sleeping in a burrow in the form of a fox or a badger if he had no access to a bed, but it was not feasible to make a one-time use burrow and they were not particularly easy to find on a whim. He'd settle for a large hole in a tree to spend a night in as an owl, or a small one in which to sleep as a songbird if he really had to, though.

"Yeah, they're both not perfect," Olivia agreed. "But do you really think you should try to take them down? You could be walking into your own death."
(thanks! I'll rewrite my reply.)
"It's good to keep busy," Boris said. "It's just a shame there's not too much to do in here." Of course, the infirmary was a place to heal the wounded, not have a field day. The nurses would bring them books or paper and things to write with if they requested, but only a few who were healthy enough to walk around got to go outside.
Nichole took the blanket gratefully and wrapped it around herself. It wasn't much, but it was better than feeling completely exposed. Huddling down into her seat, she prepared for a long car ride to who knows where. When Ava spoke, she turned her head and smiled sadly. "Ava, this isn't your fault," she muttered in return, glad that at least she was still willing to talk to her. "It's mine. I shouldn't have told you to lie for me."
A sigh a relief escaped Christoph. No more walking for the day. "Where will we sleep?" he asked. The boy looked at the forest around them, half expected his grandfather to find a place to make a camp. They might not have all of the camping materials needed, but he figured they would make the most of what they had.

"Death is but a chance for a new beginning." Kai said as he walked up to her. He was taller than her but he tried not to tower over her which was hard for him. "Even if I died it would give all the shifters a better reason to take them down." His voice grew thicker as his emotions towards this was trying to cause him to shift but he fought back the urge and cleared his throat. "I just want things to be normal....."
