[Jay is probably close enough to see Mako but he isn't in the kitchen]

Jay introduced himself, "I'm Jay, and I'm very lost." He laughed, "What is this place? Do you live here?"

Mako walks over and stops in front of him. "Nope, I came here intending to loot or ask directions. I met some guy but he didn't give me much answers. What about you"?

(Somewhat. I know it's the name of a Fullmetal Alchemist character, but there's no connection between the two. I just thought it sounded sophisticated and fit his personality well, lol)

One of Alfonse's thin, brown eyebrows lifted itself, as if he could tell the girl was acting suspiciously. Luckily for Aurora, he knew that questioning her among the company of others would likely get him nowhere, and besides, he had no desire to make her feel uncomfortable; each person is entitled to their own secrets. He smiled, and nodded. "Well, in that case, thank you, Miss. I'll return the book for the time being." He lifted the heavy book, and began to exit the kitchen. "I'll return in a moment."

After having returned the book, Alfonse made his way back into the kitchen.

(FMA was at one point my best friend's favorite anime, though. I never got to finish it. Most anime just isn't intriguing enough for me to stay interested very long, with the exceptions of Fairy Tail, Death Note, Attack on Titan, and Ajin: Demi-human.)

[Fairy Tail is awesome. Attack on Titan made me cry. I couldn't finish it.]

Alfonse seated himself at the table, and his stomach gave its loudest growl yet. His cheeks reddened, and he patted the organ into submission before adjusting his glasses. "So, Miss, what sorts of fish have you prepared?" Alfonse had hoped the question would relieve her discomfort entirely.

As Ferra walked, the sound of splashing water reached her ears, and she wondered what all the commotion could be about. After a moment's hesitation, she turned, and followed the sound. Though she kept her distance, she could see two wolves up ahead, hunting, and wondered briefly if there were a pack nearby.

It was different now with Sasha, the minute the creature headed towards the water he broke free from the she-wolf and headed down another away scaled crimson wings growing from his sides. A wolf with wings had more skills than one without. And if the creature went into the water he could still track it in the air.

Catori was so dead focused on the rodent, she hadn't even noticed the other wolf's sudden appearance of wings. She growled and snapped at the animal, forbidding it access into the water. As the rodent realized it couldn't go anywhere, it stood up and bore it's long teeth at the wolf, daring her to come any closer. Catori's ears lay back at the sudden display, remembering how badly those teeth hurt.

All of the sudden Sasha appeared out from behind the creature and took the air, he then dropped onto the creatures back forcing it back down on all fours as he sunk his teeth into its neck and his claws dug deep into the hide. he looked at the other waiting for her to join him.

Alfonse gave the younger boy a somewhat amused smirk, before analyzing his own plate. He waited for the others to take their seats, and lifted his utensil, waiting for his cue to begin eating.

Ferra gasped softly, and covered her mouth upon watching the two wolves make their kill. Although she understood clear the laws of nature, the girl still felt an immeasurable amount of heartbreak upon watching an animal meet its demise. She waited until the creature had silenced, and turned her gaze back towards the predators. A small crease appeared between her eyebrows upon noticing the one with wings, and she briefly wondered if he was perhaps a shapeshifter, and could help her find her way through the forest. She made the decision to wait until the two had finished their meal, however.

[Oh no, poor rat!

I sympathise with Ferra. I can't stand to see an animal hurt. I wanted to go vegetarian years ago, but my rents wouldn't have it. I still eat fish, but only to keep them from giving me heck over it. Like it's any of their dang business what I want to eat.]

Alfonse followed suit after the two of them. His table manners were that of a fine-bred gentleman. The only sounds seemed to be the climking of utensils on plates, and the chewing. Alfonse despised the sound of anyone eating; it made him quite uncomfortable, and so he decided to start a conversation to help pass the time. "May I ask, are the two of you siblings?" He motioned between Aurora ans Peter. "You happen to be the only two individuals I've noticed that your pet-- correct me if I'm wrong-- wolf has a fondness for. If so, do your parents also inhabit this home?"

(My sophomore year of high school, I was completely vegetarian for a week after watching some very gruesome slaughterhouse videos in agriculture. I almost threw up in class several times... I still feel guilty every time I eat meat. but right now I don't have the means to be vegetarian.)

Aurora suddenly froze mid-bite, her expression unreadable.

Peter nearly gagged on the bite he'd already began to chew. He hurriedly swallowed, and grinned, "You thought we're brother and sister?" He chuckled, "Nope! I've only been here about a month. It took a while for Catori to warm up to me. She's shy, but seems to really enjoy being scratched behind her left ear. That's how I earned her trust." He paused to take another bite, the proceeded to continue speaking with food still in his mouth, "Technically, I ran away from home. I'm not sure about Aurora though. She's never mentioned her parents." He turned to the girl, and her cheeks flushed, "So what of them?" He continued forking food into his mouth.

With barely any emotion, Aurora replied that her parents were dead. Then she calmly resumed eating, as though they were discussing the weather.
